Answer:

D. The sun has a greater gravitational effect than the earth.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The sun in the center of the solar system and being a star its made of the plasma spheroid. Its mass is about 330,000 times that of earth. And is formed by the gravitational collapse of the matter form a large molecular cloud. Al being in larger than the size it has far more stronger gravitational pull than that of the moon and thus high tides are created on earth in a day.
