Tides in the ocean are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon, which generates tidal bulges on Earth, leading to high and low tides approximately every 12 hours and 25 minutes as Earth rotates. The sun also affects tides, but its influence is weaker due to its greater distance from Earth. The tidal force of the moon is about twice as strong as that of the sun, making it the dominant force in creating tides.
