More Information
The New Moon phase is when the Moon is between Earth and the Sun, causing the side facing Earth to be dark. Neap tides, with less extreme differences, occur when the Sun and Moon are at right angles to each other. A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth is directly between the Sun and Moon. The umbra is the darkest part of a shadow.
Tips
Confusing between spring and neap tides is common. Remember, neap tides happen when the Sun and Moon create a right angle with Earth.
