<P> The king tides occur when the Earth , Moon and Sun are aligned at perigee and perihelion , resulting in the largest tidal range seen over the course of a year . So , tides are enhanced when the Earth is closest to the Sun around January 2 of each year . They are reduced when it is furthest from the Sun , around July 2 . </P>
