What causes tides to be high in one part of the day and low during another?

they're so high because when the sun, moon, and earth are in a line, their gravitational pull creates a tidal bulge on earth. during neap tides, the sun, moon, and earth are at a 90 degree angle, making more even tidal bulges, making high and low tides closer together than the spring tides.

∙ 13y agoThis is due to the moons gravitation Pull on the earth.
the tides change as the earth sips because the moon and the earth are constantly changing positions in the universe.
Hope this helps

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.
