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.
Neap tides are tides that have the smallest tidal range, and occur when the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun form a 90° angle. They occur exactly halfway between the spring tides, when the Moon is at first or last quarter.
When the sun and moon form a 90 degree angle with the Earth, neap tides occur. During these tides, high tide is lower and low tide is higher compared to spring tides.
26 Ιαν 2018 · Neap tides are the tides with the least difference between the high and low tides. They are the two lowest high tides of the month. Explanation: Tides are caused by gravitational attraction from the moon and from the sun. When the sun and moon are both pulling in the same direction, the tides get higher than usual.
