Question
when the earth, moon, and sun are in a line, the moons gravity and the suns gravity work together. which tide is experienced when this happens? low tide spring tide neap tide high tide
When the Earth, moon, and sun are in a line, the gravitational forces of the moon and sun combine. Spring tides occur during this alignment. Low tide is a general term for water levels being lower, but not specifically due to this alignment. Neap tides happen when the sun and moon are at right - angles (not in a line). High tide is a general term, but spring tide is the specific term for the tide when the three are in a line.
