When the moon is full or new, the gravitational pull of the moon and sun are combined. At these times, the high tides are very high and the low tides are very low. This is known as a spring high tide. Spring tides are especially strong tides (they do not have anything to do with the season Spring).They occur when the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon are in a line.he result is a smaller difference between high and low tides and is known as a neap tide. Neap tides are especially weak tides. They occur when the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun are perpendicular to one another (with respect to the Earth). Neap tides occur during quarter moons.
The difference is that the spring tides When the Sun, Earth & Moon are in alignment with one another spring tides occur. Spring tides are higher than average. When the Sun-Earth line is at right angles to the Earth-Moon line, we see neap tides, which are lower than average.A tide in which the difference between high and low tide is the least.Neap tides occur twice a month when the Sun and Moon are at right angles to the Earth.hen the Sun-Earth line is at right angles to the Earth-Moon line, we see neap tides, which are lower than average. A tide in which the difference between high and low tide is the least. Neap tides occur twice a month when the Sun and Moon are at right angles to the Earth.
