spring tide
Eclipses (solar and lunar) are caused by the straight alignment of the sun, moon and earth. Spring tide A+ Thank you for the Answer Luckiigurl16 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.
Eclipse
It could be a lunar eclipse (when the earth is in between both the sun and the moon) or a solar eclipse (when the moon is in between both the earth and the sun).
It happens when the sun and the Moon are in alignment.
The moon is tidally locked to the Earth, so the same part always faces us. How does this work? It rotates at exactly the rate necessary to keep that alignment. The reason is that gravitational bulges on the moon, caused by the Earth's gravity (moon tides) are attracted differentially by the earth's gravity and this puts the brakes on the moon's spin. As this happens, the moon is pushed away from the Earth, because the energy has to go somewhere!

The three bodies are arranged in a straight line and in the same plane, with the earth in the middle. Sun ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> Earth --> Moon
Seasons are caused mainly by the tilt of the Earth's axis, and its rotation around the Sun. Eclipses are caused by the changing alignment between Earth, Sun and Moon. A Solar eclipse is when the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth. A Lunar eclipse is when the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon.
When the Sun, Earth and Moon line up exactly, an eclipse occurs. If the alignment is sun, Moon, Earth, then it is a solar eclipse. If the alignment is Sun, Earth, Moon, then we have a lunar eclipse.
It happens when the sun and the Moon are in alignment.
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.
Of course, you can always draw a straight line from Moon to Sun, so really, to be interesting, the alignment would involve Earth, Sun, and the Moon. If they are in a straight line, there will sometimes be solar eclipses, or lunar eclipses.
When the sun, moon, and the Earth are in alignment, a solar eclipse occurs. Depending on how the planets and moon align, you could also see a lunar eclipse.
In alignment with the earth and sun.
Spring tides are caused by the combined gravitational pull of the sun and the moon when they are aligned. However, solar eclipses occur when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, blocking the sun's light. This alignment for a solar eclipse does not coincide with the alignment necessary for spring tides.
