What tide occurs when the sun is at right angles to the line between earth and the moon?

Neap tide. The gravitational effect of the sun acts to minimize the gravitational effect of the moon. When the Sun, Moon and Earth are aligned (Syzygy), the gravitational effect of the sun adds to the gravitational effect of the moon to create the largest tides.
That is a neap tide. So the high tide is lower, and the low tide is higher. If you want a higher high tide and a lower low tide, you need the sun and moon to line up, and those are called spring tides.

Neap tides occur when the sun, moon, and Earth from a right angle.

How is the sun the earth and the moon positioned during the first quarter moon?
They are at 'right-angles', with the Earth at the corner of the right angle.
What are spring tides and neap tides?
Spring tide:A tide with the Greatest different between high and low tide that occurs when the sun and the moon are aligned with Earth at the new moon and full moon. Neap tide:A tide with the least different between low and high tide that occurs when the sun and moon pull at right angles to each other at the first and third quarters of the moon. Hope i Helped :)
What is orthogonal?
It means "at right angles".
What is niep tide?
According to TitoBob, the term you're looking for is "neap tide".The neap (pronounced "nip") tide occurs when the Moon, Earth, and Sun form a right angle (i.e., the Moon is off to one side of the Earth), and is lower than usual.There is also the German term "Nipptide" which also means neap tide.
Are p angles right angles from each other?
p orbitals are at right angles to each other, there are three.
What occurs when the sun earth and moon are at right angles?
When the sun, Earth, and moon are at right angles, we experience either a first or third quarter moon phase. The sunlight illuminates half of the moon that faces Earth, creating the distinct crescent shape that we observe.
Is it true that a low tide occurs at the point on earth farthest from the moon?
No. High tide occurs at both he points nearest the moon and farthest from it. Low tide occurs at right angles tot hose positions.
What wave occurs when the motion of the medium is at right angles?
radio waves
How many right angles does a nonagon have?
A convex nonagon can have between zero (0) and three (3) right angles. A general nonagon can have between zero (0) and six (6) right angles.
What is the difference between a trapazoid and a rectangle?
All four angles of a rectangle are right angles. A trapezoid can have at most two right angles.
What occurs when sun moon and earth are at a 90 degree angle?
When the Sun, Moon and Earth are roughly lined up, there are higher-than-average "spring" tides in Earth's oceans. When the Sun, Moon and Earth are at right angles, they cause "neap" tides which are lower than average.
When does the first quarter phase occur?
First Quarter occurs when the moon is at right angles with respect to the Earth and sun. During this phase, the moon has completed one quarter of it's orbit around the Earth and an observer on Earth will see half of the moon illuminated.
What happens when a light ray travels at right angles into a transparent object?
When light travels at right angles into a transparent object (i.e. angle of incidence is zero), no refraction occurs.
Why are transform faults associated with spreading ridges at approximately right angles to the ridge?
They are at right angles because the spreading occurs at right angles to the ridges. If you look you will see that the faults happen at places where the ridges bend and they allow for the differential movement required.
How is the sun the earth and the moon positioned during the first quarter moon?
They are at 'right-angles', with the Earth at the corner of the right angle.
What occurs when the sun and moon pull on earth at right angles to each other?
The main effect is on the tides, when the sun and moon are at right angles it produces neap tides. When in line it produces spring tides. Spring tides are abnormally high, neap tide are abnormally low
What type of angles occurs in a kite?
In a kite one pair of opposite angles are equal and all 4 angles add up to 360 degrees and its diagonals intersect each other at right angles.
