Yes..Earths Gravity is Far Stronger then the Moons
Besides gravity felt by the moon
So Too we feel the Gravity of our sun

Yet
The Moon is More responsible for our tides
Dispite others claiming the sun has more influence upon our waters

By the way
The moon is Moving away from us
Ever so slightly every year

Way back in the day ( billions of years ago )
The moon was 24,000 miles from earth
Currently on average is nearly 240,000 miles aways
In future it will continue m9ving further away
Atvsome point even breaking free

Yet
The Moon played very importantvroles
Both making our days longer
Also stablizing our days
Stablizing our seasons

All of which..eventually enabled the Advanced lifecwe now enjoy..on the 3rd rock from the sun..we usually call Earth
