Category Description: Science is a rigorous, systematic endeavor that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the world. Modern science is typically divided into three major branches: natural sciences (e.g., physics, chemistry, and biology), which study the physical world; the social sciences (e.g., economics, psychology, and sociology), which study individuals and societies; and the formal sciences (e.g., logic, mathematics, and theoretical computer science), which study formal systems, governed by axioms and rules.

Q2. What is the distance between the Sun and the Earth?
Q2. What is the distance between the Sun and the Earth?
Answer: (B) 149,597,870 KM
149,597,870 KM. The Earth is at 147,100,000 km at perihelion and 152,000,000 km at aphelion. The Astronomical Unit or AU is based on the average distance of the Earth from the Sun. The AU became a international standard in 2012 and is defined to be exactly 49,597,870.7 km.
Q3. What is the audible range of frequencies for normal human ears?
Q3. What is the audible range of frequencies for normal human ears?
Answer: (B) 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz
The audible range of an average human ear lies between 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Humans cannot hear sounds having frequency less than 20 Hz and greater than 20,000 Hz.
Q4. The center of our solar system is
Q4. The center of our solar system is
Answer: (B) The Sun
The Sun
Q5. Why the sky appears blue?
Q5. Why the sky appears blue?
Answer: (C) Dispersion of light
Blue colour of the sky is due to dispersion or scattering of light. The two most common types of matter present in the atmosphere are gaseous nitrogen and oxygen. These particles are most effective in scattering the higher frequency and shorter wavelength portions of the visible light spectrum.

Answer: (B) Nebulae
Nebulae
Q7. Which comet does appear after 76 years
Q7. Which comet does appear after 76 years
Answer: (A) Halley's comet
Halley's Comet
Q8. Which planet of the Solar System is the brightest planet?
Q8. Which planet of the Solar System is the brightest planet?
Answer: (C) Venus
Venus can often be seen within a few hours after sunset or before sunrise as the brightest object in the sky (other than the moon). It looks like a very bright star. Venus is the brightest planet in the Solar System.
Q9. Beyond what distance a normal eye can see objects clearly?
Q9. Beyond what distance a normal eye can see objects clearly?
Answer: (C) 25 cm
For a clear vision, the image must be on the retina. The image distance is therefore fixed for clear vision and it equals the distance of retina from eye lens. It is about 25 cm for a grown up person. A person can theoretically have clear vision of an object situated at any large distance from the eye.
Q10. Which one of the following is not a member of outer planets
Q10. Which one of the following is not a member of outer planets
Answer: (B) Mars
Mars
Q11. who discovered gravity?
Q11. who discovered gravity?
Answer: (D) Isaac Newton
Far more than just discovering the laws of gravity, Sir Isaac Newton was also responsible for working out many of the principles of visible light and the laws of motion, and contributing to calculus.
Q12. How much time does sunlight take to reach the Earth from the Sun?
Q12. How much time does sunlight take to reach the Earth from the Sun?
Answer: (D) 8 minutes 16.6 sec
8 minutes 16.6 sec.
Q13. What vitamin is contained in the Sun light ?
Q13. What vitamin is contained in the Sun light ?

Q15. What is the normal temperature of human body?
Q15. What is the normal temperature of human body?
Answer: (A) 37°C
Normal body temperature is considered to be 37°C (98.6°F); however, a wide variation is seen. Among normal individuals, mean daily temperature can differ by 0.5°C (0.9°F), and daily variations can be as much as 0.25 to 0.5°C.
Q16. What is the scientific field dedicated to the study of heavenly bodies, celestial objects, and phenomena originating beyond Earth's atmosphere?
Q16. What is the scientific field dedicated to the study of heavenly bodies, celestial objects, and phenomena originating beyond Earth's atmosphere?
Answer: (D) Astronomy
Astronomy is a natural science that involves the scientific study of celestial objects (such as stars, planets, comets, galaxies, and nebulae), the universe as a whole, and the phenomena that originate beyond Earth's atmosphere. It uses principles of mathematics, physics, and chemistry to understand their origin, evolution, physical and chemical properties, and behavior. While cosmology is a branch of astronomy that focuses on the universe's origin, evolution, and large-scale structure, astronomy encompasses the broader study of all extraterrestrial objects and phenomena.
Q17. The period of one revolution of the Sun around the center of galaxy is called?
Q17. The period of one revolution of the Sun around the center of galaxy is called?
Answer: (D) Cosmic Year
