A spring tide—popularly known as a "King Tide"—refers to the 'springing forth' of the tide during new and full moon. A neap tide —seven days after a spring tide—refers to a period of moderate tides when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other.

28 Σεπ 2024 · Neap tide, tide of minimal range occurring near the time when the Moon and the Sun are in quadrature. This condition is geometrically defined as the time at which the line from the Earth to the Moon is at right angles to the line from the Earth to the Sun.
5 Αυγ 2021 · When the Sun is at a right angle to the Moon, moderate tides, called neap tides, result. From our view on Earth, these tides coincide with certain lunar phases since they occur when the Moon reaches specific positions in its orbit. Earth’s tidal bulges don’t line up exactly with the Moon’s position.
What is a neap tide? When the sun and moons are at right angles to each other, there is least gravitational pull, meaning the tidal range is at its lowest. The neap tide occurs 7 days after the spring tide.
Neap tides. When there is a low tide, the Moon faces the Earth at a right angle to the Sun so the gravitational force of the Moon and Sun work against each other. These tides are referred to as...
20 Δεκ 2021 · Neap tides occur when the effect of the tidal forces of the sun and the moon on the tidal bulges cancel each other. Figure 3.22 shows an example of these tidal variations. Figure 3.22: Tidal variation in Vlissingen during more than a month in 2019.
19 Οκτ 2023 · In the period between the two spring tides, the moon faces the Earth at a right angle to the sun. When this happens, the pull of the sun and the moon are weak. This causes tides that are lower than usual. These tides are known as neap tides. Tidal Features Tides produce some interesting features in the ocean.
