Question

How do the Earth, the Sun, and the moon interact to influence the time patters of tides?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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. A similar situation occurs between the Earth and the sun.
