Choose the incorrect statement. 1. Moon's core is dense and metallic (largely composed of iron and some nickel) 2. We will weigh less on Moon than on Earth 3. Craters are formed due to asteroids, meteoroids, and comets striking the surface of the Moon. 4. The Moon does not influence water tides on Earth as its gravitational force is not strong enough. Moon has major impact on rise and fall of tides on Earth. Sun has also influence, but lesser due to it being further away. The gravitational force of Moon causes high tide on the side where the Moon and Earth face each other, as the gravity pulls the water towards it like a magnet. But that's not it, the opposite side of Earth also experiences high tides. The Earth and moon both spin around a center point. This spinning creates a force called centrifugal force, which pushes the water away from that center point. Thus, creating a high tide on opposite side, as well. When Sun, Moon and Earth are aligned, the pull on water is exaggerated and hence, higher tides are seen. 2 / 10 2. What's CORRECT regarding this image? 1.

The growing size of Moon is called Waxing. As more sunlight falls on Moon, more areas of Moon is visible to us on Earth. “Waning” means shrinking.

Sun does not allow Moon to Slip from its place 4. Synchronous rotation of Moon and Earth Genius ! 😁 This occurs due to "Tidal locking". The Moon usually takes 27.3 days to complete rotation on its axis. IT takes the same time to complete revolution around Earth. Thus, the same side always faces the same side of Earth. 10 / 10 10. What kind of motion causes moon phases? 1. Moon revolving around Earth 2. Moon rotating on its axis 3. Sun revolving Earth 4. Earth spinning Good work. 👏 Remember, the Moon does not have its own light. It reflects the sunlight that falls on it.

Depending upon where the Moon is in its orbit while revolving around the Earth, we see the different shapes of Moon.
