When moon's shadow hits earth, or earths shadow hits the moon. Moon has smaller shaddow.

Describe a neap tide

The tide with the smallest difference between high and low tide.

What happens every 24 hours?

Earth Rotates once on its Axis

What season is it here when the south end of Earth's axis is tiled toward the sun?

Winter in the Northern Hemisphere

This can only occur at FULL moon
