The Dying Sun |
Question No. 1: How is it
that star seldom finds another star near it?
Ans: A star
seldom finds another star near it because there is a distance of millions of
miles between the two stars. Moreover, space is immensely vast and each star is
bound to travel in its own orbit.
Question No. 2: What
happened when, according to Sir James Jeans, a wandering star, wandering
through space came near the sun?
Ans: When a wandering star came near the sun, it
raised tides on the surface of the sun. These tides formed a high mountain on
the surface of the sun that we can hardly imagine.
Question No. 3: What
happened when the wandering star came nearer and nearer?
Ans: When the
wandering star came nearer and nearer the sun, the mountain on the surface of
the sun rose higher and higher and was, finally, torn into pieces.
Question No. 4: What are
planets and how did they come into existence?
Ans: The
planets are the broken parts of the sun. They came into existence due to tidal
pull caused by some star on the surface of the sun.
Question No. 5: Why is
there no life on the stars?
Ans: There is
no life on the stars because the stars are balls of fire and they have intense
heat. Therefore, the stars are too hot
for life to exist on them.
Question No. 6: Write a note on the beginning of life on
earth?
Ans: When the
earth gradually became cooler and cooler. Life started in very simple organisms
which had ability to reproduce themselves before dying. In the end, it produced
the most complicated organisms like man who has feelings and ambitions.
Question No. 7: Why is the
universe so frightening?
Ans: The
universe is so frightening because of immense stretches of time, extreme
loneliness and absence of life on other planets.
Question No. 8: What
should be the conditions necessary, for the kind of life we know to exist on
other heavenly bodies? Do such conditions generally exist?
Ans: Life can
exist only in some suitable physical condition like moderate temperature, air
and water. Such conditions do not exist on other heavenly bodies except the
earth. Therefore, there is no life on other heavenly bodies.
Question No. 9: How do the
stars travel in the universe?
Ans: The stars
travel in the universe either in groups or mostly they travel alone. They
travel at vast distance from one another
Question No. 10: What are
the temperature belts?
Ans: The
temperature belts are zones that surround each hot star at a certain distance.
The temperature there is neither too hot nor too cold. Life can exist on such
temperature belts.
OR
Question No. 1: How is it that a star seldom finds another star near
it?
Space is very vast. The distance between two stars is millions
of miles. That is why a star seldom finds another star near it.
Question No. 2: What happened when a wandering star came near the Sun?
The star raised huge tides on the surface of the Sun and
formed a big mountain.
Question No. 3: What happened when the wandering star came nearer and
nearer the Sun?
As the wandering star came nearer and nearer, the
mountain on the surface of the Sun rose higher and higher.
Question No. 4: What are planets? How they came into existence?
The tidal pull of the wandering star broke away the
mountain of the Sun into pieces. These broken pieces are called planets.
Question No. 5: Why is there no life on the stars?
Both the Sun and the stars are so hot that life cannot
exist on them.
Question No. 6: Write a note on beginning of life on Earth.
After the passage of time, Earth gave birth to life. In
the beginning, simple organisms were born. Gradually they developed into human
beings.
Question No. 7: Why is universe frightening?
The universe is frightening because of its huge
distances, our Earth is very small and absence of life on any other place.
Question No. 8: In what conditions can life exist? Do such conditions
generally exist?
Life can exist only in a temperature at which things can
exist in a liquid state. Such conditions are available on the Earth only.
