Apogee tide, often referred to as an apogian tide, occurs when the Moon is at its farthest point from Earth in its elliptical orbit, known as apogee. During this phase, the gravitational pull of the Moon on Earth's waters is slightly weaker, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides compared to when the Moon is closer to Earth. This phenomenon affects tidal patterns, leading to variations in tide heights throughout the lunar cycle.
