What alignment of the earth moon and sun cause the spring and neap tides?

The Earth's 23.5 degree tilt with respect to the orbital or ecliptic plane causes the Sun to rise higher in the sky during the summer months and lower in the winter months.. The spring and autumnal equinoxes correspond to the days on which the Sun is positioned directly over the equator and is observed to rise directly in the Eastern sky, resulting in exactly the same amount of daylight and nighttime everywhere on Earth.

What is a spring and neat tide?
Spring Tides Are Extreme Tides And Neap Tides Are Weaker Tides.
Why spring tides do not cause solar eclipse?
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.
What is the effect of the alignment of the sun moon and earth in relation to the occurrence of tides?
When all three bodies are aligned spring tides are the result
How do the changing positions of the moon earth and sun cause spring tides and neap tides?
because it is
How does a straight alignment between Earth and the Sun and the moon impact the tides on Earth?
It causes especially strong tides (high high and low lows) called "spring" tides. Nothing to do with the season; they "spring" up. When the Moon and Sun are at right angles, we have "neap" tides (low highs and high lows).

Compare neap and spring tides Give two comparisons in your answer?
Spring and Neap tides are alike because they are both affected by the gravitational pull of the moon and because they are both caused by the alignment of the earth, moon, and the sun.
What causes the highest of high tides and the lowest of low tides to occur?
The moon cycle and it is called Spring Tides, this occurs during a full moon and the new moon when the moon and the sun are in alignment with the earth
What and when the tides are especially strong due to the alignment of the sun and moon?

When the tides are especially strong due to the alignment of the sun and moon they are what?

Tides of a great range?
The largest tides occur the alignment of the Sun, Earth and Moon system coincide at their perigee and perihelion. Thus all the gravitational masses pull in one direction and cause very high tides. Rarely, Mars may add to the picture.These tides will be the highest recorded and the lowest recorded, hence the range is greatest. Often called King Tides.
