What does Spring Tide mean?

1 answer

A Spring Tide is a type of tidal phenomenon that occurs when the Earth, Sun, and Moon are aligned in a straight line. This alignment causes the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon to combine, resulting in a stronger pull on the Earth's ocean tides. Spring Tides occur twice a month, during the full moon and new moon lunar phases, and they cause the highest tidal range of the month. Despite the name, this tidal phenomenon has nothing to do with the season of spring.
