Answer:

neap tides happens when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

The tide with the least difference between consecutive low and high tides.

Neap tides, which also occur twice a month, In both cases, the gravitational pull of the sun is "added" to the gravitational pull of the moon on Earth, causing the oceans to bulge a bit more than usual.
