Description
The combined effect of the Sun and Moon on the Earth's oceans, the tide, is greatest when the Moon is new or full (see Tide#Range variation: springs and neaps). At lunar perigee the tidal force is even stronger, resulting in more extreme high and low tides, but even at its most powerful this force is still considerably weak
