Important Points

  • The sun, the moon, the stars and all those objects shining in the night sky are called celestial bodies.
  • Countless twinkling stars in the night sky are similar to the sun. But we do not feel their heat or light, and they look so tiny because they are very very far from us.
  • Various patterns formed by different groups of stars are called constellations. One of the most easily recognisable constellation is the Saptarishi. It is a group of seven stars that forms a part of Ursa Major Constellation.
  • The North star indicates the north direction. It is also called the Pole Star. It always remains in the same position in the sky.

  • Moon appears at different times, in different shapes and at different positions. Examples: Full moon night or Poornima and New moon night or Amavasya.

Thus we can conclude following statements are rue.

  •  We do not feel heat and light of countless twinkling stars in the night sky as they are very far away from us.

  • Ursa Major Constellation is a group of seven stars also called Saptarishi.

  • Moon appears at different times, in different shapes and at different positions.

The question below consists of a set of labelled sentences. Out of the four given options, select the most logical order of the sentences to form a coherent paragraph. P- Such a scenario allows for it to have a profound influence on the tides of our oceans, which in turn serves to slow earth’s rotation and hurl the moon further away from us. Q- The gravitational attraction of the moon is also the stabilising factor in a celestial battle between the large bodies of the solar system to throw the planet’s axial obliquity off-balance.  R- The bulk of the moon’s responsibility for impacting upon the planet lies with its gravitation and proximity to the earth. S- The very fact that the moon is here in the first place tells of how fortunate the impact that formed it was.
