Question 1.
\nHow does a planet differ from a star?
\nAnswer:
\nStars have their own heat and light and planets have to depend on stars for light and heat.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nWhat is meant by the \u2018Solar system\u2019?
\nAnswer:
\nThe eight planets which revolve around the sun, satellites and other celestial bodies are together known as\u2018Solar System\u2019.<\/p>\n

Question 3.
\nWhy is life not possible on all planets?

Question 4.
\nWhy do we always see only one side of the moon?
\nAnswer:

\nAnswer:
\nPollution contains toxins that adversely impact living creatures within them. Rising pollution will lead to premature aging. Human exposure to toxins will increase to a great extent if pollution is not controlled. This pollution is directly linked to cancer and heart diseases.<\/p>\n

Question 7.
\nScientists are now trying to explore more about the moon and other planets. Do you think their efforts benefit us?
\nAnswer:
\nThe efforts of scientists in exploring the moon and other planets definitely useful to us. Space exploration alone provides us a significant amount of knowledge which is important for the education of people also about our planet and universe. It increases the knowledge about space and the discovery of distant planets and galaxies and gives us an insight into the beginnings of our universe.<\/p>\n

      You might have heard that people make human chains and run for world peace etc. You can also make a Solar system and run for fun by using the following steps.
      \nStep – 1: All children of your class can play this game. Assemble in a big hall or on a playground.
      \nStep – 2: Now draw eight circles on the ground. Draw all circles in the same manner.
      \nStep – 3: Prepare 10 placards. Name them as Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
      \nStep – 4: Select 10 children in the following order and give each one of them a placard.
      \nOrder of placard distribution<\/p>\n

        \n
      • The Sun – tallest, The Moon – smallest; Mercury, Mars, Venus, and Earth(almost equal heights); Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter taller than the earlier four Planets but smaller than the Sun.<\/li>\n
      • Now ask the children holding placards to take their places with the Sun in the cent rein their orbits. Ask the child holding the Moon placard to keep the hand of the child holding the Earth placard always.<\/li>\n
      • Now your Solar system is almost ready to go into action.<\/li>\n
      • Now make everybody move slowly in the anti-clockwise direction. Your class has turned into a small human replica of the Solar system.<\/li>\n
      • While moving in your orbit you can also turn around. For every celestial body, the spin should be anti-clockwise except for Venus and Uranus who will make the spin in the clockwise direction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \nAnswer:
        \nLet us observe celestial bodies:
        \nRequired material: Torch, a sheet of plain paper, pencil and a needle.
        \nProcess:<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Place the torch in the centre of the paper with its glass front touching the paper.<\/li>\n
        2. Now draw a circle around the torch.<\/li>\n
        3. Perforate the paper with the needle within the circled area.<\/li>\n
        4. Now place the perforated circle part of the paper on the glass front and wrap the paper around the torch with a rubber band.<\/li>\n
        5. In a dark room, stand at some distance facing a plain wall. Switch off all other lights. Now flash the torchlight on the wall. You will see numerous dots of light on the wall, which look like stars at night.<\/li>\n
        6. Switch on all the lights in the room. All dots of light will be almost invisible.<\/li>\n
