During these Moon phases, the solar tide coincides with the lunar tide because the Sun and the Moon are aligned with Earth, and their gravitational forces combine to pull the ocean’s water in the same direction. These tides are known as spring tides or king tides.
Twice a month, when the Earth, Sun, and Moon line up, their gravitational power combines to make exceptionally high tides, called spring tides, as well as very low tides where the water has been displaced. When the Sun is at a right angle to the Moon, moderate tides, called neap tides, result.
Learn what spring and neap tides are, how they are related to the moon and the sun, and why they affect the height of the tides. Find out the difference between spring tide and spring season, and how to predict the tides with NOAA's tide predictions.
28 Σεπ 2024 · Spring tide, tide of maximal range, near the time of new and full moon when the Sun and Moon are in syzygy—i.e., aligned with the Earth. Conjunction is the time during new moon when the Sun and Moon lie on the same side of the Earth.
22 Μαρ 2024 · Spring tides align with the new moon and full moon phases, happening approximately every 14 days, or twice a month. In contrast, neap tides align with the first and third quarters of the moon, also occurring twice a month.
The spring tide is where the sun and the moon align to create the greatest gravitational pull on the sea. This is because both the sun and the moon have combined greater gravitational force which pulls the sea towards them.
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.
