Consider the following statements Spring tides occur when the sun, the moon, and the earth are in a straight line. Neap tides occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other. Which of the statements given above is/are correct? Correct Answer Both 1 and 2

Both statements are correct.

  • When the sun, the moon, and the earth are in a straight line, the height of the tide will be higher.
  • These are called Spring tides and they occur twice a month, one on full moon period and another during the new moon period. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
  • Neap tides occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other and the forces of the sun and moon tend to counteract one another. Hence, statement 2 is correct.

The moon looks blood red during a total lunar eclipse because some of the sunlight passes through Earth’s atmosphere to reach the moon. As the white light breaks up while passing through the atmosphere, most of its blue-colored wavelengths are absorbed and scattered. The remaining red wavelengths light up the moon in blood-red color. Which of the following statements do not support the assertion of the above-given statement? I: The moon looks blood red during a total lunar eclipse as the white light breaks up due to the Earth's atmosphere where most of its red-colored wavelengths are absorbed. II: The moon looks blood red during a total lunar eclipse as the earth blocks the white light to travel to the moon.
