1. A, B and C
2. A and C only
3. A, C and D
4. All of the above

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : A and C only

Concept:

• The moon that we see pretty much consistently is a characteristic/natural satellite of the Earth.
• This implies that the moon rotates around the earth in a customary way.
• The gravitational fascination between the earth and the regular satellite holds it in its circle even as the moon spins around the earth.
• Therefore, gravity on the earth is greater than that of the moon.
• Being our nearest divine neighbor shows up enormous contrasted with the stars.
• Truth be told, every one of the stars and planets is bigger than the moon however are far away to the point that they show up tiny in the examination.

Explanation:

• The moon's surface is covered by rocks and free soil which we call lunar soil.
• It is pitted with pits of various sizes due to shooting stars that hit its surface.
• On the planet, these shooting stars wreck in our environment before they arrive at the ground.
• However, this circle of the night has no environment/atmosphere, so it is covered with enormous cavities.
• Since there is no air, there is no life on the moon and hence water is also absent.
• The eminent body has no light of its own; it can just mirror light from the sun.
• Just the side of the moon which points toward the sun can mirror this light and can show up splendid; the opposite side seems dim.
• As this divine body spins around the earth we can see various measures of the locale enlightened by the sun.
• Consequently, it seems to change its shape which is called as Phases of Moon.

Thus, the following statements which are true about the moon are:-

A. We can see only one part of the moon. - TRUE

B. Moon lacks atmosphere but it has water. - FALSE

C. Mountains, plains and troughs are found on its surface. - TRUE

D. The gravity on the moon is greater than that of the earth. - FALSE

• Neil Armstrong was the first person to land on the moon in 1969.
• It requires very nearly 27 days to spin around the earth.
• However, between two full moons, there are 29.5 days.
• This is on the grounds that the earth additionally voyages a distance through space during that time around the sun.
• It needs to cover an additional distance (which requires 2 additional days) assuming it must be actually behind the earth and sun once more.
