Which moon is closest to Earth? 1. Blue Moon 2. Supermoon 3. Pink Moon 4. New Moon Well done! Supermoon is a full moon that is when it is closest to Earth, resulting in a slightly larger-than-usual apparent size of the Moon as viewed from the Earth. 2 / 10 2. Why do we see same side of Moon? 1. Because only Earth rotates and Moon is static 2. Because Earth rotates faster than Moon 3. 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. 3 / 10 3. 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. As the Moon orbits the Earth, different portions of its surface are illuminated by sunlight, and thus, when seen from Earth these different portions are seen. Depending upon where the Moon is in its orbit while revolving around the Earth, we see the different shapes of Moon. 4 / 10 4. 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. HINT: Think of what waxing and waning words mean. 5 / 10 5. The moon is waxing when ___________________ 1. Less light is visible each day 2. It is invisible 3. More light is visible each day 4. It is stationary Well done. Looks like your concepts are clear.👌 “Waxing” means growing. 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. After Full Moon, as less sunlight falls on Moon, the size of Moon visible to us, starts decreasing till it becomes completely invisible (New Moon). 6 / 10 6. Who accompanied Neil Armstrong on Apollo 11 to become the second human to land on Moon? 1. Michael Collins 2. Buzz Aldrin 3. Kalpana Chawla 4. Charles Duke Well done. You know what most don't know. 🫡 Commander Neil Armstrong and lunar module pilot, Buzz Aldrin, travelled on Apollo 11 in 1969, which was launched by NASA. USA. Neil Armstrong became the first person to step onto the Moon's surface. Aldrin joined him 19 minutes later. They collected 21.5 kg of lunar material back to Earth. Pilot Michael Collins flew the Command Module Columbia in lunar orbit. 7 / 10 7. Which was the first spaceship which landed on Moon and when? 1. Apollo 11, 1956 2. Apollo 15, 1956 3. Apollo 11, 1969 4. Apollo 15, 1969 Wow! you have great memory. Apollo 11 was a spacecraft mission launched from July 16 to July 24 in 1969. It was conducted by the United States and launched by NASA. It was the first time that humans landed on the Moon. 8 / 10 8. Christina noticed a waning Crescent Moon on 4th March. Which phase will she notice on 18th March of the same year? 1. 🌔 2. 🌓 3. 🌕 4. 🌖 Wow! you have mastered the questions on phases of moon! 👏 Lunar phase comprises of 8 phases, which is usually completed in 27 to 28 days (or approximately 4 weeks). Therefore, in 2 weeks (i.e. from 4th to 14th March, as mentioned in question), it will complete 4 phases. So, from being waning crescent, it will pass through : ① new moon ② waxing crescent ③ half moon ④ waxing gibbous 9 / 10 9. What's CORRECT regarding this image? 1. During this eclipse, the moon casts a shadow on earth 2. During this eclipse, the Moon is not seen 3. During this eclipse, the Sun is not seen 4. None of the above you are a genius!

What happens when Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth? 1. Lunar Eclipse 2. New moon 3. Tides rise 4. Solar eclipse Great work. 😁 When the Moon comes between the Earth and the Sun, it blocks Sun's light falling on some parts of Earth. Thus, Sun is not visible on these parts of Earth. This is called Solar Eclipse. If sunlight is blocked partially it is called Partial Solar Eclipse. If its complete, its called Complete Solar Eclipse.
