4. Question
Consider the following statements
1. The point of the orbit farthest to Earth is called perigee
2. The point nearest from Earth is known as apogee.Choose the correct answer from the codes given below.
CorrectAns. D
The Moon’s orbit around Earth is elliptical, with one side closer to Earth than the other.
The point of the orbit closest to Earth is called perigee, while the point farthest from Earth is known as apogee.
As a result, the distance between the Moon and Earth varies throughout the month and the year.
The Moon’s phase and the date of its approach to its perigee or apogee are not synced. When a Full Moon or New Moon occurs close to the Moon’s perigee, it is known as a Supermoon.
On the other hand, when a Full Moon or New Moon occurs close to the Moon’s apogee, it is known as a Micro moon.

5. Question
Which of the following chemicals is NOT associated with the depletion of Ozone layer?
CorrectSolution: D
Unique set of conditions was responsible for the ozone hole. In summer season, nitrogen dioxide and methane react with chlorine monoxide and chlorine atoms forming chlorine sinks, preventing much ozone depletion, whereas in winter, special type of clouds called polar stratospheric clouds are formed over Antarctica. These polar stratospheric clouds provide surface on which chlorine nitrate formed gets hydrolysed to form hypochlorous acid. It also reacts with hydrogen chloride produced as per reaction to give molecular chlorine. The chlorine radicals formed after some other reactions, initiate the chain reaction for ozone depletion.IncorrectSolution: D
