Answer:

The moon

Explanation

Tides are periodic rises and falls of large bodies of water. Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction between the Earth and the Moon. The gravitational attraction of the moon causes the oceans to bulge out in the direction of the moon. ... Isaac Newton was the first person to explain tides scientifically.
