Detailed explanation-1: -When the sun, moon, and Earth are in alignment (at the time of the new or full moon), the solar tide has an additive effect on the lunar tide, creating extra-high high tides, and very low, low tides-both commonly called spring tides .
Detailed explanation-2: -During full moon and new moon, the Earth, Moon and Sun are in a line and a combined effect of the pull exerted by both Moon and Sun causes the highest tides known as spring tides. On other days, the Sun and Moon are not aligned in a straight line and hence the effect is not equally strong as compared to spring tides.
Detailed explanation-3: -When the earth, moon, and Sun line up-which happens at times of full moon or new moon-the lunar and solar tides reinforce each other, leading to more extreme tides, called spring tides.
Detailed explanation-4: -During the Full Moon and New Moon days, the Sun, the Moon and the Earth are in the same line and the tides are at their highest level.
Detailed explanation-5: -During full or new moons-which occur when the Earth, sun, and moon are nearly in alignment-average tidal ranges are slightly larger. This occurs twice each month.
