Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker are observing the tides from a coastal base.

Later in the month, they notice the water levels don't change very much at all. Which statement correctly identifies the Spring and Neap tides based on the difference between high and low water levels?

Neap tides have a weaker difference between high and low tides Spring tides have a stronger difference between high and low tides

Spring tides have a weaker difference between high and low tides Neap tides have a stronger difference between high and low tides

Spring and Neap tides have no noticeable difference in high and low tides. They are the same.

Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca need to dock their ship at a pier that is only reachable when the ocean reaches its maximum height .
