Answer:

Yes they do

Step-by-step explanation:

why tides around the equator are higher during both a new moon and a full moon (spring tide). tidal forces due to the Sun are about half as strong as those due to the Moon. This seems strange, because the Sun's gravity at Earth is much stronger than the Moon's.
