What is a neap tide? Mention moon phases AND differences in water heights.
A neap tide is when the moon is either at 1st or 3rd quarter positions. The height difference in water for high and low tide is very small.

What is the difference between a solstice and an equinox?
Solstice: When the Sun's energy is directly on either the Tropic of Cancer or the Tropic of Capricorn at noon. One of the poles (North or South) is getting more of the Sun's energy
Equinox: When the Sun's energy is most directly on the equator. This results in BOTH the Northern and Southern Hemispheres experiencing equal amounts of the Sun's energy. Sun's energy is hitting the EQUATOR!

Tides are caused because of what two celestial bodies and what force?
The Sun and Moon, primarily the moon's gravitational force pulling the water from Earth towards itself.
