What about the sun's? If the force is strong enough to make earth orbit, and moon-to-sun distance oscillates, plus seasonal behaviour, there must be quite some straining tides...



oh yeah, that makes sense. It's a tiny fraction of the moon-sun distance, but it would have some efrect. Is it a "tidal" force, though?


The sun also creates the tides.
