First quarter and last quarter.
They cause neap tides which are neither very high nor very low.
During the first and third quarter phases of the moon, known as the neap tides, the gravitational pull of the sun and moon work against each other, producing the least variation in tides on Earth. This results in lower high tides and higher low tides during these phases.
A tide-recording station will experience two spring tides and two neap tides in a given month. Spring tides occur during the full moon and new moon phases when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned, creating higher high tides and lower low tides. Neap tides occur during the first and last quarter moon phases when the Sun and Moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides.
In April, we typically experience spring tides, which occur during the full moon and new moon phases. These tides have higher highs and lower lows due to the alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth.
The tidal effect (guess where it got that name) caused by the gravity of the Sun and Moon.
No, the moon affects the tides, but the tides do not affect the moon.
Higher-than-average "spring" tides occur at the new moon and full moon phases. Lower-than-average "neap" tides happen at the quarter-moon phases.
it can affect tides,
Neap tides occur during the first and third quarter moon phases. During these phases, the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun are perpendicular to each other, resulting in lower tidal ranges. This means that the high tides are not as high, and the low tides are not as low compared to spring tides, which occur during the full and new moon phases.
The highest tides, known as spring tides, occur during the full moon and new moon phases when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, creating a stronger gravitational pull on the ocean. Spring tides cause higher high tides and lower low tides.
When the Sun, Earth and Moon are nearly lined up, the Sun and Moon's gravitational effects on tides are amplified slightly, causing higher-than-average 'spring tides". This happens at the new and full moon phases. When the Moon is at right angles to the Sun-Earth line, at the first and third quarter moon phases, we have lower-than-average "neap" tides.
the phases of the moon don't affect tides. Tides are caused by the moon's gravity, the moon is always at the same distance from Earth. Sun also causes the tides. so if the sun and the moon are directed in the same place at Earth extra high tides occur.
Only if you are concerned about the tides
