Answer:

The motion of the Moon is affected by the gravity of the Sun AND the Earth. The Moon's gravity pulls on the Earth and makes the tides rise and fall every day.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the Moon passes over the ocean, there is a swell in the sea level. The Earth's gravitational force accelerates objects when they fall.
