Which lunar phase occurs two weeks after a new moon?
A solar eclipse can only occur at the moment of New Moon. Two weeks after that moment is about 18 hours before Full Moon.
Where do neap tides occur?
Neap tides are especially weak tides. They occur when the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun are perpendicular to one another (with respect to the Earth). Neap tides occur during quarter moons.
What two moon phases occur during tide?

What two factors determine when tides occur?
The rotation of the Earth and the moon
The reason eclipses do not occur at every new Moon and every full Moon is that the?
The Moon's orbital plane is tilted about 5 degrees to the ecliptic (the Earth's orbital plane), so the Sun, the Moon and Earth do not perfectly align every new moon or full moon. We can have an eclipse only if the alignment of the three bodies happens along the intersection of the two orbital planes.
Does a lunar eclipse always occur at a full moon?
This is true. The full moon happens when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. Because the Moon's orbit is tilted a little relative to the Earth's, the Moon is usually not EXACTLY on the opposite side of the Earth - but when it is, the Moon orbits right into the Earth's shadow, and we see a lunar eclipse.
During which lunar phase can a solar eclipse occur?
Full Moon.That's when the Moon is directly across from the sun, allowing the moon sun and earth to be in a straight line causing the eclipse (with the earth in the middle of course). Partial and penumbral lunar eclipses are when the Moon is ALMOST, but not quite, exactly lined up with the Sun and the Earth.Full moon Full moon
What season is the eclipse?
There is no connection between eclipses and the seasons. A solar eclipse can occur only at the time of New Moon, and a lunar eclipse can occur only at the time of Full Moon. These phases repeat on the average slightly more than three times in every season.
When the earth passes directly between the sun and the moon briefly blocking out the moon this causes a what?
An eclipse of the Moon (or lunar eclipse) can only occur at Full Moon, and only if the Moon passes through some portion of Earth's shadow. That shadow is actually composed of two cone-shaped components, one nested inside the other.
What two moon phases occur during spring tide?

How long does it takes for a blue moon to occur?
A blue moon accurs everytime the moon gets bored, which is about every two three minutes.
Do mostly spring tides occur in the spring?
Spring tides occur every two months; every full moon and new moon. The spring has nothing to do with the spring tides, despite it's name.
