The Sun and the Moon are on the same side – Pulling in the same direction
The Sun and the Moon are on opposite sides – Pulling on the same line but in opposite directions.
Spring Tides – The S/M/E create forces on a straight line pulling on Earth.
Neap Tides – The Sun and Moon cancel each other out because they pull at right angles on Earth.
