I might not ask this question to my HS students!
Seems a bit advanced for them.
We do calculate the forces of the Sun and Moon on the Earth. The
Sun's force is 175x more, but the Moon's tidal force is 3x more.
Kids wonder about this.
The Sun's force is 2x more, yet the Moon "appears" to orbit the
Earth. It actually orbits the Sun more! Kids wonder about this, too.
