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.
What else can I help you with?
True or false is the point at which the moon is orbiting closest to earth called perigee?
True. Perigee is the point in the moon's orbit when it is closest to Earth.
Earth is closest to the sun in august true or false?
False. Earth is actually closest to the sun in early January, a position known as perihelion.
What is closes the the earth?
The sun is the closes star
How many miles are between the earth and the moon?
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).
How far away is the sun in miles?
It varies - the moon orbits the Earth so the distance will change depending on Earth's distance from the sun as well as the moon's distance from the Earth. The minimum distance from the moon to the sun is when the Earth is closest to the sun and the moon is in new moon phase (meaning its closer to the sun than the Earth). The distance from the moon to the sun is: Earth's distance at perihelion - moon's distance from Earth at apogee. This works out to 146,692,370 km. The maximum distance from the moon to the sun is when the Earth is farthest from the sun and the moon is in full moon phase. The distance from the moon to the sun is Earth's distance at aphelion + moon's distance from Earth at apogee. This works out to 150,503,400 km.
What planet is closest to the moon?
Earth is the closest planet to the moon and Venus follows as the second closest planet to the moon
What objects is closest to earth in all three systems?

What planet is closest to the moon in august?

Is the planet mercury the closest planet to the moon?
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.
Where on earth is closest to the moon?
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.
Which is closest to earth the moon or the sun?
The moon is closer to the earth than is the sun.
