∙ 11y agoHigh tides occur where the Moon is directly over a point on the Earth, and simultaneously at the point on the opposite side of the planet. This results from the difference in gravitational attraction, which is either at a maximum (overhead) or minimum (antipodal). The Earth, being solid, does not deform to any great extent but ocean water can and does respond, being "lifted and dragged" around the planet. The time between lunar high tides is about 12 hours and 25 minutes (half of the time between lunar zeniths).

Even though the sun's gravitational pull is very powerful, it is concentrated on the whole planet, and is not close enough to affect the tides. The moon, since it is closer and has a strong gravitational pull, is able to pull on the oceans, and gives the world its oval shape (when viewed from the side).

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 type of tides has the highest high tides and the lowest low tides called?
The greatest high tides are Spring tides where the Earth, Moon, and Sun are in a line. They are also the lowest low tides. The least high tides and low tides are called neap tides when the sun, moon and earth form a right angle
What is the position of the moon in a neap tide?
It forms a 90 degree angle on a line drawn form the sun to the center of the Earth.
When are high tides created?
High tides form when the moon's gravity pulls on the side of the Earth facing the sun and facing away from the sun. This forms high tides
When the sun moon and earth are all in line tides?
When the moon is either 180 degrees from the sun, or aligned with it. That is, if you could draw a straight line from the sun to the earth and out into space beyond, if the moon lands anywhere on that line, you have spring tides. In that alignment, you'll have either a new moon or a full moon.
What happens to the tides when the moon and sun form a 90 degree angle with earth?
Nothing happens

What are tides in the science form?
The moon's gravitational pull on the earth is what causes tides.
What is the position of the moon in a neap tide?
It forms a 90 degree angle on a line drawn form the sun to the center of the Earth.
What works together to form tides?
The moon and the earth's oceans.
What do two line segments with a common end point form?
No. They form an angle.
Can parellel rays form a angle?
It would be a 0 degree angle or a 180 degree angle depending upon if they are aimed the same direction or opposite.
