Question

When the sun earth and moon are position to form a right triangle high tides are lower than normal true and false

Answer 1

True. They form neap tides. neap tides are lower than their regular and can get to the lowest point.

Answer 2

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Tides on Earth occur due to the combined gravitational effect of the sun and the moon.

The high tides are highest during spring tides when the sun and moon align in one line. This is because the effect of gravity is maximum.

The high tides are lowest during Neap tides when the sun and the moon are aligned at right angles. This is because the effect of gravity is minimum.

Thus, the given statement is true.
