Question

In the diagram the Sun, Earth, and Moon are in perfect alignment. Which two conclusions can be drawn based on the diagram?

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