Earth is closest to the moon in August?
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 do scientists believe about the earth's continents?
Scientists believe that the Earth's continents were once part of a single landmass called Pangaea that later broke apart due to plate tectonics. This movement of tectonic plates is still ongoing, causing the continents to drift slowly over time.
What is the earth period rotation and revolution?
The Earth rotates on its axis once a day and revolves around the Sun once a year.
The Moon's average density is about the same as the density of earth's layers?
You are correct! This is the reason why many scientists believe that the moon was once long ago part of the earth, that an asteroid possibly dislodged, or the roation of the earth spun off a piece of the planet.
What hypothesis proposed that earth's continents were once joined in a single landmass and then gradually moved apart?
The hypothesis that Earth's continents were once joined in a single landmass and then gradually moved apart is known as the theory of continental drift, proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. This theory laid the foundation for the development of the theory of plate tectonics.
People once believed many things which today are not true. what are some examples?
People once believed the earth was flat. But clearly it is not. People once believed the earth was the center of the universe and that it was held up or sat on the back of a tortoise (or creature of some sort) that also turned out not to be true~
People once believed that the world was flat. What changed their minds?
Christopher Columbus made people change their minds about the shape of the earth although Galileo was the first to challenge the church by saying the earth was round and revolved around the sun.
Why did people once believe earth did not move?
I would like you to make little experiment.Go outside on a nice dayLay on the grass and close your eyesDoes the earth move?That is what people before Newton knew. What they could feel.If you can not feel it move it can not be moving.There are still people that believe this, uneducated or superstitious. perhaps, but they know what they feel.
Scientists believe that the earth once looked like mercury?
what happems to all those craters on earth
Has technology changed people belief systems?
Yes. There are many examples but one of the most obvious, people once believed the world was flat and if you went far enough out to sea you would reach the edge. It's a myth however that people in Columbus' time thought this. Another example, more recently people thought the Earth was the center of the universe and the Sun and other planets revolved around the Earth. 500 years after Nicolaus Copernicus proved the Earth revolves around the sun, one American in four (26 percent) doesn't know or doesn't believe this.
Has a woman ever played the character of Tupolski in The Pillowman?

Do scientist believe earth was once a comet?
No, that hypothesis has not been proposed within mainstream science.
Did christopher Columbus prove the earth was not flat?
I believe this fact proved it: Consider a ship appearing on the horizon approaching in your direction. You will observe that the top most tip of the ship appears first and then the lower parts thereafter. This is possible only if the ship is traveling along a curve. Had the earth been flat, the ship would have been visible all at once since the water surface is perfectly flat. That I believe is how it was proved that earth was a sphere (well not EXACTLY a "sphere") - I hope my reiteration there makes sense. Scholars knew about the curve of the Earth long before Columbus. They also knew the circumference of the Earth. That is why they argued against the voyage: he could not reach China before his crew starved. What they did not reckon on was a whole continent in between. Columbus just got lucky.
What is the meaning of revolution having to do with the sun-earth-moon?
I believe that if a planet makes one revolution, such as the Earth or Moon, it has completed its orbit once.
