All three are in line, so the Moon is either opposite to the Sun (close to full moon), or in the same direction as the Sun (close to new moon).

What causes tides and what affects their heights?
Tides are caused by the interaction of Earth, the moon, and the sun. Changes in the positions of Earth, the moon, and the sun affect the heights of the tides during a month.
Where do the water bulges occur on earth during the tides?
bulges of water in the ocean are called high tides.
Are tides at their highest during neap tides?
No Neap tides are when the sun,earth, and moon form a right angle. This makes the the water on earth be pulled towards the sun and the moon. causing the tides to be very low. Spring tides are when tides are the highest because the earth,sun,and moon are in a line,causing very high tides.
What is between the moon and earth causes tides in oceans?
Mutual gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon are.
Tides on the Earth are primarily due to the mutual gravitational attraction between the Earth and?
Earth and the moon.
How often do tidesw occur on the Texas Coast?
because an ocean tide refers to the cyclic rise and fall of seawater.these tides are caused by variations in gravatational attraction between the Earth's ,moon and the sun ,in geometric relationship with locations on the Earth's surface.the reason that tides are periodic is due mostly to Earth's rotation being cyclical.
Why tides are occur in sea during the full moon?
The Earth's ocean tides are the result of the forces of gravitational attraction between the Sun, the Moon, the Earth, and the oceans. The tides exhibit two highest points and two lowest points roughly every day.
What phenomena are the results of gravity between the moon and the earth?
Tides are the result of lunar (and solar) gravity.
What would happen to Earth and tides if the distance between Earth and the Moon increased?
Tides would become stronger.
What would happen to the earth tides if the distance between earth and the moon increased?
Tides would become stronger.
What is the difference between tides and tidle waves?
Tides are caused by the moon's gravity acting on the Earths water.Tidal waves are caused by sudden underwater movements of the Earth during an earthquake

Does the earth's rotation speed up during tides?
no it just has to do with the position of the earth and moon
During an eclipse of the sun when earth moon and sun are lined up the ocean tides on earth are extra and are called tides?
b) high,spring.
Tides are caused by the pull between the earth and the?
The gravitational pull of the Moon has the greatest influence on the Earth's tides but the Sun also has some effect.
