What causes the highest of high tides and the lowest of low tides to occur?

The highest high tides, known as spring tides, occur when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, causing gravitational forces to combine. The lowest low tides, known as neap tides, occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, leading to gravitational forces partially cancelling each other out.
