When the moon is full or new, the gravitational pull of the moon and sun are combined. At these times, the high tides are very high and the low tides are very low. This is known as a spring high tide. Spring tides are especially strong tides (they do not have anything to do with the season Spring). They occur when the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon are in a line. The gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun both contribute to the tides. Spring tides occur during the full moon and the new moon.
When the moon's gravitational force and the sun's gravitational forces are parallell the spring tide, or the maximum difference between high and low tides. When the gravitational forces are perpendicular to each other the least difference between the tides are experienced. That condition is called "neap tide.
What else can I help you with?
What is the opposite of a neap tide called?
The opposite of a neap tide is a spring tide. Spring tides occur when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, resulting in higher high tides and lower low tides.
What is the lowest the spring tide can get?
The lowest point of a spring tide occurs during the neap tide phase, which is when the difference between high and low tide is the smallest. This typically happens about a week after the spring tide.
How does a tide clock work?
it works by a spring the spring is pulled by the moons pull and graphs it by telling you if its high tide or low tide.
What is a proxigean spring tide and how often goes it occur?
The Proxigean Spring Tide is a rare, unusually high tide. This very high tide occurs when the moon is both unusually close to the Earth (at its closest perigee, called the proxigee) and in the New Moon phase (when the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth). The proxigean spring tide occurs at most once every 1.5 years.
Is high tide called spring tide?
the tide is much higher than usual cause of the moons rotation and the earth being on it axis

What is a perigean spring tide?
A perigean spring tide is when the Moon is closest to the Earth during the spring tide.
What occurs during spring tide?

What are different kinds of tide?
you have a high tide and low tide, tides are affected by the Moon. There is also something called Neap tide and Spring tide. Spring tide occurs in spring and sometime throughout the year. Neap tide is when there is a higher low tide and a lower low tide. Spring tide is when there is a higher low tide and lower high tide

What are the names of the ocean tides?
High tide or low tide. There is also summer tide (I think) which is a really large tide, and a spring tide which is a very low tide.
When the effects of the moon and the sun works together this is what kind of tide?
It's a huge tide. It's called a "spring tide". "Spring" does not mean the season called spring, in this case.
