Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Consider the following statements.
$$1$$. A galaxy is a huge mass of stars, nebulae and interstellar material.
$$2$$. The sun situated at the centre of the Milky Way and all the planets revolve around the sun.
Which of the above mentioned statements is/are correct?

A
$$1$$ only

B
$$2$$ only

C
Both $$1$$ and $$2$$

D
Neither $$1$$ nor $$2$$

Solution

Sun is not at the centre of the Milky Way but is near its edge. It revolves around the centre of the Milky Way and completes one revolution in about 250 million years.
Question 2
1 / -0

Pluto was demoted from the status of a planet to that of dwarf planet in $$2006$$ because it:
(I) does not have sufficient mass.
(II) has not cleared the neighbour around its orbit.

A
Statement I is correct

B
Statement II is correct

C
Both statements I and II are correct

D
Neither statement I nor II is correct

Solution

The new definition of a planet adopted by the International Astronomical Union(IAU) during its week long discussion at Prague in the Czech Republic on August 24, 2006 was as follows.
Planet: A planet is a celestial body that:
(a) Is in orbit around the Sun.
(b) Has Sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium(nearly round) shape.
(c) Has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit.
(d) Should be as effective around the sun as other planets are.
According to the above definition, pluto has lost its status as a planet and is demoted to the status of a dwarf planet.
Question 3
1 / -0

Consider the following pairs:
$$1$$. Mercury: Jovian plant
$$2$$. Venus: Duration of day longer than that of year
$$3$$. Satum: A planet having density less than that of water
Which of the pairs given is/are correctly matched?

A
$$1$$ only

B
$$2$$ and $$3$$ only

C
$$1$$ and $$3$$ only

D
$$1, 2$$ and $$3$$

Solution

Mercury is not a Jovian planet but inner or terrestrial planet. Jovian means Jupiter- like(the largest planet of the solar system), with an equatorial diameter of just 4875km, Mercury is the smallest planet of the solar system.
Venus has rotation period of 243 days(duration of day) and revolution period around the sun of 224.4 days(duration of the year). Thus the planet Venus has duration of day longer than that of year.
Saturn has density of 0.69 which is less than the of water (1.0).
Question 4
1 / -0

Consider the following pairs.
Planet Satellite
$$1$$. Mars Titan
$$2$$. Uranus Titania
$$3$$. Neptune Triton
Which of the pairs given is/are correctly matched?

A
$$1$$ only

B
$$2$$ and $$3$$ only

C
$$1$$ and $$2$$ only

D

Solution

Satellite Titan belongs to Saturn, Titania belongs to Uranus, and Triton belongs to Neptune.
Question 5
1 / -0

When a man circles round the earth in a satellite, then

A
His mass becomes zero but weight remains constant

B
Mass remains constant but weight becomes zero

C
Both mass and weight remain constant

D
Both mass and weight remain zero
Question 6
1 / -0

Consider the following statements:
$$1$$. Venus is named after the Roman Goddess of beauty.
$$2$$. Mars is named after the Roman God of war.
$$3$$. Neptune is known as lopsided planet.

A
$$1$$ only

B
$$1$$ and $$2$$ only

C
$$2$$ and $$3$$ only

D
$$1, 2$$ and $$3$$

Solution

Uranus and not Neptune has its axis tilted at $$98_0$$.
Question 7
1 / -0

Which of the following pairs is/are correctly matched?
Planet Chief characteristic feature
$$1$$. Saturn King of Planets
$$2$$. Jupiter Planet with Great Red spot in its atmosphere
$$3$$. Mercury Slowest rotating planet

A
$$1$$ only

B
$$2$$ only

C
$$1$$ and $$2$$

D
$$2$$ and $$3$$

Solution

Jupiter is the largest of all the planets of the solar system and is known as the king of planets. Jupiter has Great Red Spot in its atmosphere. It is a high pressure zone in the southern hemisphere near the equator where temperatures are lower than the surrounding atmosphere. It covers a vast area which is 40,000km long and 32,000m wide.
Venus is the slowest rotating planet with rotation period of 243 days whereas rotation period of Mercury is only 58.65 days.
Question 8
1 / -0

Consider the following statements.
$$1$$. Astronomical unit is the average distance between the earth and the sun.
$$2$$. Neptune is over $$30$$ astronomical units away from the sun.
Which of the following statements is/are correct?

A
$$1$$ only

B
$$2$$ only

C
Both $$1$$ and $$2$$

D
Neither $$1$$ nor $$2$$

Solution

Astronomical unit is the average distance between the sun and the earth which is about 149.6 million km. Neptune is 30.07 Astronomical units away from the sun.
Question 9
1 / -0

What is the position of the asteroid belt?
$$1$$. Between the Sun and the Earth.
$$2$$. Between Mars and Jupiter.
$$3$$. It surrounds the orbital path of the Neptune
Which statement(s) about the position of the asteroid belt is/are correct?

A
$$1$$ and $$2$$ only

B
$$2$$ and $$3$$ only

C
$$1$$ only

D
$$2$$ only

Solution

Asteroids are small planets between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. There are thousands of asteroids in this belt which revolve around the sun along a particular orbit. every asteroid has its own orbit but these orbits remain between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Question 10
