1. THE DYING SUN
Q. 1: How is it that a 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.
Q. 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.
Q. 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.
Q. 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.
,Q. 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 the life to exist on them.
Q. 6: Write a note on the beginning of life on earth.
Ans: When the earth gradually became cooler, the 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.
Q. 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.
Q. 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.
Q. 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.
Q.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.
, 2. USING THE SCINETIFIC METHOD
Q. 1: How has the scientific method helped us in our fight
against diseases?
Ans: The scientific method has helped us in knowing the
causes of diseases and their prevention. It has also enabled us to
make life saving drugs.
Q. 2: Write a note on the better sanitary conditions available
in our cities today and compare them with what they were
like a hundred years ago?
Ans: Today, our city streets are paved and well drained. They
are cleaned regularly. Garbage and sewage is disposed properly.
A hundred years ago, the streets were unpaved and poorly
drained. Household garbage and other refuse were thrown in the
streets. So, today sanitary conditions are far better than they
were a hundred years ago.
Q. 3: What are sanitary conditions like our villages today
and how would you improve them?
Ans: Today, our villages are poorly drained, outdoor toilets are
common and streets are unpaved. We could improve them by
making the people aware of better sanitation and its positive
effect on their health.
Q. 4: How has scientific method helped us in the production
and preservation of foods?
Ans: Through scientific method, we get more production of
food. Modern methods of selecting, grading and processing have
helped us a lot in the preservation of food.
