Final answer:

Tides are primarily caused by the moon's gravitational pull on Earth, creating tidal bulges in the oceans.


Explanation:

The primary cause of tides is the moon's gravitational pull with the Earth. The Moon's proximity to Earth and its gravitational force has a greater influence on tides than the Sun, despite the Sun's larger size. The gravitational attraction creates a tidal bulge in the oceans, leading to high and low tides.
