    The document describes the phases of the moon in order from new moon to full moon and back to new moon again. It also discusses spring tides that occur during a new or full moon when gravitational forces from the sun and moon combine to produce the largest difference between high and low tides, and neap tides that happen during the first and third quarter moons when the sun and moon's gravitational forces are at right angles and cause smaller tidal differences.

    New Moon

    Waxing Crescent

    First Quarter
    Waxing Gibbous

    Full Moon

    Waning Gibbous
    Third Quarter

    Waning Crescent

    Spring Tide

    Occurs when new Moon or full Moon are lined up with Earth and Sun; combined gravity gives
    greatest difference between high/low tides

    Neap Tide

    Occurs when first or third quarter Moon are at right angle with Earth and Sun; gives less
    difference between high/low tides
    Spring Tide

    Neap Tide
