False. Try January!
False. Earth is actually closest to the sun during the month of January.
True. Perigee is the point in the moon's orbit when it is closest to Earth.
FALSE. The layers of the atmosphere begin with the troposphere (surface to about 10 km), and continue outward with the stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. The outermost layer, the exosphere, is sometimes included in the thermosphere, as is the ionosphere.
Yes, deserts cover about 33 to 35 percent of the earth's land area.
False:The Earth has an ecliptic orbit around the Sun and is closest to the Sun at perihelion [See related link]. This occurs about January 3rd. So the closest point to the Sun is during the winter months in the northern hemisphere.The Earth is the furthest from the Sun at aphelion [See related link] around 4th July.The phenomenon of seasons are influenced by the tilt of the earth's axis, and which hemisphere is receiving the most direct light.There-in lies your answer.Is the earth closer or farther from the sun when the northern hemisphere receives the most direct sunlight?
False. Earth is actually closest to the sun during the month of January.
false the moon is not a star
True. Perigee is the point in the moon's orbit when it is closest to Earth.
true
True. The troposphere is the lowermost layer of Earth's atmosphere, and it is the layer closest to the Earth's surface where all weather events occur.
It is false. The Earth's orbit is an ellipse (oval), although the distance only varies by about 3.4% from closest to farthest (147 million to 152 million kilometers).
No.
FALSE. The layers of the atmosphere begin with the troposphere (surface to about 10 km), and continue outward with the stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. The outermost layer, the exosphere, is sometimes included in the thermosphere, as is the ionosphere.
