What are Spring?

उत्तर
When the earth, moon, and sun are nearly in the same line, very high tide results. We refer to these high tides as spring tides. A high tide is produced when the gravitational pull of the sun and moon combines with one another. The height of these spring tides is 20% higher than the typical tides. The timing of these tides is set and they occur twice a month, during the full and new moons.
