Not necessarily. The moon orbits the earth once per lunar cycle which is roughly once per month. Each orbit has a point of perigee (closest approach to earth) and apogee (farthest approach to earth). I could be mistaken, but I don't believe there is anything special about the month of August regarding the moon's perigee.
True. Perigee is the point in the moon's orbit when it is closest to Earth.
False. Earth is actually closest to the sun in early January, a position known as perihelion.
The sun is the closes star
The layer of the atmosphere closest to the Earth is the troposphere. It is where weather events occur and contains the majority of the Earth's atmosphere by mass.
Our moons average distance from the Earth is 238,854 miles (384,399 km). However the Moon's orbit is elliptical and the distance therefore varies during its orbit though, from around 252,088 miles (405,696 km) at its furthest (Apogee) to 225,622 miles (363,104 km) at its closest (Perigee).
Earth is the closest planet to the moon and Venus follows as the second closest planet to the moon
the moon is the closest to the earth
The closest planet to the Moon is Earth. The Moon is Earth's natural satellite and is closest to our planet in terms of distance.
No planet in our solar system is consistently closest to the Moon every August. The proximity of planets to the Moon varies based on their respective orbits. However, the planets that are most commonly near the Moon in the sky are Venus and Mars.
August the 27th of this year (2009) is when Mars is to be the closest it has ever been to the earth. It is supposedly to be about the same size in the sky as the moon.
The closest natural object to Earth is the moon.
The Earth is the closest body to the moon.
Earth (if you mean Earth's moon)
the moon is the closest to the earth
No. Earth is technically the closest planet to the moon. Mars is the closest planet to a moon, with Phobos being only 9.4Mm away from Mars. Earth's moon is an average distance of 370Mm from Earth.
The Moon orbits over the tropical areas, within about 28 degrees of latitude north or south. The point on the Earth which is absolutely the CLOSEST to the Moon would be the point when the Moon reaches its "perigee". But that point moves as the Moon orbits the Earth.
The moon is closer to the earth than is the sun.
