Seven days after a spring tide, when the sun and moon are at right angles to the Earth (during the first and third quarter phases of the moon) their forces counteract each other, weakening the tidal pull. This creates a neap tide. There’s about seven days between a spring tide and a neap tide.
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.
What are spring and neap tides? Ocean tides on Earth are controlled by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun. Tides are affected by the annual and monthly orbits of these bodies. Spring and neap tides are connected to the phases of the moon. A spring tide occurs when there’s a new or full moon. Because it follows the moon’s lunar cycle ...
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.
Neap tides are tides that have the smallest tidal range, and they occur when the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun form a 90o angle (Figure here). They occur exactly halfway between the spring tides, when the Moon is at first or last quarter.
