1. **Conjunction:** The Moon is between the Sun and the Earth (during the New Moon phase).
2. **Opposition:** The Earth is between the Sun and the Moon (during the Full Moon phase).
Quadrature occurs when the Moon is at a 90-degree angle relative to the Sun-Earth line (during the First and Third Quarter Moon phases), resulting in weaker tides known as neap tides.
