A. Answer the following questions:
1. What are heavenly bodies? Name any two of them.
2. Why is the moon called the satellite of the earth?
3. How do the stars shine?
Answers
Answer:
1.A natural celestial object, visible in the sky, such as a star, planet, natural satellite, asteroid, comet, the Moon or the Sun
2.The moon is a satellite because it moves around Earth. Earth and the moon are called "natural" satellites.
3.Stars shine because they are extremely hot (which is why fire gives off light — because it is hot). The source of their energy is nuclear reactions going on deep inside the stars. In most stars, like our sun, hydrogen is being converted into helium, a process which gives off energy that heats the star.
