Heya!!
When the Sun, the Moon and the Earth are in a straight line the Sun’s gravitational pull gets added to that of the Moon. The tides then have a higher tidal range. During these times, the high tides are especially high and the low tides are especially low. Such tides are called spring tides. They occur on full moon days and new moon days. If the Sun and the Moon are at right angles to one another, the gravitational pull of the Sun on the Earth partially cancels that of the Moon. During these periods the high tides are not very high and the low tides are not very low. These tides are called neap tides. They occur during the quarter phases of the Moon.

Hope it helps!!
