Under the important questions on Space and Universe a set of 30 questions with solution is given below. Since the most questions asked in the previous years are asked in the successive years again in different exams. Therefore, the study of these questions is the most necessary. All these questions are being given in the form of Space and Universe notes with one liner answer.
1. To a space traveller on moon, how does the lunar sky during day time appear? – Black
2. NASA’s Deep Impact space mission was employed to take detailed pictures of which comet nucleus? – Tempel 1
3. How is Albedo defined? – The amount of insolation reflected back to the space by the top of atmosphere, by clouds and ice-covered areas of the fiarth’s surface
4. The largest amount of reflection of the solar radiant energy which is reflected back into space before reaching the earth’s surface why happens this? – clouds
5. The incoming short-wave solar radiation is balanced by an equal amount of long-wave radiation from earth going back to space. What is this? – Heat balance of earth
6. Two cars, passing each other at high speed, are in danger of side swiping why? – Because of decrease in air pressure in the space between them
7. When an electric bulb breaks, why is there a mild bang? – Due to the air rushing in to fill the evacuated space
8. To an astronaut, how does outer space appear? – Black
9. What is the difference between explosion and combustion? – That there is rapid increase of pressure in confined spaces in case of an explosion, but no such change occurs during combustion
