In the diagram below, the observer is experiencing a spring low tide. What is the most likely position of the Sun? (Note: Shading has been removed from the diagram so it cannot be used to determine the Sun's position.)

The sun is in opposite side of the earth in line with the moon. The gravitational pull of the two celestial bodies, on the waters of the earth oceans, adds up to create the high tides seen with the bulge. The side of the observer witnesses low tides because much of the water is pulled towards the high tides by the gravitational pull of sun and moon.

The most likely position of the Sun is that the Earth, Moon and Sun are at right angles.

How does the sun influence the tides?

If the Sun, Moon and Earth are aligned, the sum of gravitational forces will multiply and then the high tide will happen. However, when the Earth, Moon and Sun form a right angle, the gravitational forces will neutralize each other and as a result, low tide is obtained.

With this information, we can conclude that the most likely position of the Sun is that the Earth, Moon and Sun are at a right angle.
