Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neap tides occur when the Moon is in the first or third quarter, when the gravitational forces of the Moon and Sun partially cancel each other out, resulting in weaker tides. Spring tides, on the other hand, occur during the full and new Moon when the gravitational forces of the Moon and Sun combine to create stronger tides. Total and annular eclipses are related to the alignment of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, and can occur at any phase of the Moon.
