Answer:

Sun , Moon , Inertial , Greater , Closer

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The sun is larger in size and shape and earth being quite close to the sun as its the third planet in the solar system and moon revolution around the earth also cause the tidal bulges as its a play of gravitational and inertial force of the earth and the pulls exerted upon it by the moon and sun.
  • The greater force will be of that object that is closer and lesser will be that of the farther or distant object as the moon also has less gravity power it does nor exert the same power as the sun at the surface of a fluid.
  • Thus differential force caused by the three earth sun and moon has lots of impact on the movement of water on earth's surface when they arrange themselves in an angular orbit.
