Based on the position of the sun and moon, two types of tides occur twice (each) a month. Neap Tides Neap tide occurs when the Sun, Moon, and the Earth make a right angle, with Earth the vertex. During the tide, the height of the tide is a little lower than average. That's because both the gravity of the moon and sun cancel each other. These are also known as Lunar Tides.                           ...
