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.


True or false earth is closest to the sun when it is summer in the northern hemisphere?

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?


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.


The region of the atmosphere closest to the earth's surface is the stratosphere True or false?

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.


Elements abundant in the body are not abundant on Earth true or false?

False. Elements abundant in the human body, such as oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen, are also abundant in the Earth's crust.

Is the earth is closest to the sun during the month of august?

No. It is closet to the sun in January! Seasons are caused by tilt of the earth, not how close to the sun it is. But for which Hemisphere? Season are determined by tilt. The earth stays the same distance away from the sun every season.


Is the Earth closest to the Sun in January?

In August Earth is not closest to the sun. Actually the Earth is closest to the sun in December/January. The actual date varies from year to year. In 2012, Earth is at perihelion - its closest point to the sun - on Thursday, January 5 at 1 hour Universal TimeThe Sun and Earth are closest to each other during the month of January. The Earth is furthest from the Sun during the month of July.


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.


True or false the troposphere is the area of the atmosphere closest to earth?

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.


The region of the atmosphere closest to the earth's surface is the stratosphere True or false?

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.


Is it true or false that earth's distance from the Sun does not change as Earth moves in its orbit?

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).
