AP · Answer

Tides are affected primarily by the gravitational pull of the moon and (to a lesser degree) that of the sun as well as Earth's rotation on its axis. Spring tides and neap tides take place as a result of two different alignments of the sun, the moon, and the earth with respect to one another. These occurances (spring/neap tides) would not exist if the moon was absent, but smaller tidal friction would still occur due to the aforementioned effect of the sun's gravitational pull and the earth's rotation.
