When the gravity of the sun and moon pull Earth's surface in opposite directions, it results in a neap tide. During neap tides, the difference between high and low tides is minimized, occurring during the first and third quarters of the moon. This happens because the gravitational forces partially cancel each other out, leading to lower tidal ranges.
