**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Tides**: Tides are the periodic rise and fall of sea levels caused by the gravitational forces exerted by celestial bodies, primarily the Moon and the Sun, on the Earth's water bodies. 2. **Role of the Moon and Sun**: The Moon is the closest celestial body to Earth, and its gravitational pull has a significant effect on the water in the oceans. The Sun also exerts a gravitational force, but its effect is less than that of the Moon due to its greater distance. 3. **Gravitational Force Equation**: The gravitational force between two objects can be described by the formula: \[ ...
