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.

The neap tide occurs 7 days after the spring tide. A neap tide is where the sun and moon are at their least aligned point. Not to scale. The diagram above shows yet again, the moon’s rotation around the earth (red), the Earth’s rotation around the sun (yellow).
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.
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.
Spring tides are characterized by the highest high tides and lowest low tides, occurring during new and full moons, while neap tides, with their less extreme tidal ranges, occur during the quarter moon phases.
These tides are referred to as neap tides; a low tide or one that is lower than average. A neap tide happens between two spring tides and occurs twice a month when the first and last...
Neap Tides. The tidal range is smallest around the Quarter Moons /Half Moons because the gravitational force from the Moon and the Sun counteract each other at these 2 points of the lunar month. These tides are called neap tides or neaps, from Anglo-Saxon, meaning without the power. Neaps always occur about 7 days after spring tides.
