Well, darling, during a spring tide, the moon is either fully aligned with the sun or directly opposite it, leading to higher-than-normal tidal ranges. So, if you want a straightforward answer, the moon is positioned at either the new moon or full moon phase during a spring tide. Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy!
The tide formed by the straight alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon is called a "spring tide." During a spring tide, the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon work together, resulting in higher high tides and lower low tides. This phenomenon occurs during the full moon and new moon phases when the three celestial bodies are in alignment.
During a full moon, tides are typically higher than usual. This is because the gravitational pull of the moon and sun are aligned, creating a stronger gravitational force on the Earth's oceans. This phenomenon is known as spring tides.
When the tides are especially strong due to the alignment of the sun and moon, it is called a spring tide. Spring tides occur during the full moon and new moon phases when the gravitational pull of the sun and moon align.
'Neap' Tides. At high tide a neap tide is not as high as a Spring High tide. At Low tide a neap tide is not as low as a spring Low Tide. At a given point on Earth, a Sprimg tide may have a range of 30 feet. At the same point on Earth, a Neap tide may only have a range of say 20 feet.
A spring tide will occur
A perigean spring tide is when the Moon is closest to the Earth during the spring tide.
A spring tide occurs during the full moon phase of the moon. This is also known as the new moon phase and the moon is located between the earth and the sun.
During high tide it is directly over head.
High tide (or Spring tide)

Spring tide
It is a tide which occurs 3 or 4 times a year when the Moon's perigee (its closest point to Earth during its 28-day elliptical orbit) coincides with a spring tide (when the

The earth is aligned with the moon and the sun
Spring Tides occur during two phases, full and new moon. This is because the moon earth and sun are aligned during both of these phases. It is opposite during neap tide, in which the moon and sun meet at a right angle on earth, which means the moon during neap tide is at the first or third (last) quarter phase. Hope this helped! :)
