Question

a. Explain with reason. (1) Moon gives light but is not considered a source of light. Answer:​

Answer 1

Answer:

The moon is not considered as a source of light because it does not produce it's own light unlike the sun and other luminous objects such as bulbs, mobiles etc. It basically reflects the light of the sun which is what we get here on earth.

Answer 2

Answer:

Moon gives light but is not considered as a source of light since it does not produce its own light, unlike the sun which produces its own light.

Explanation:

Moon gives light but is not considered as a source of light since it does not produce its own light, unlike the sun which produces its own light. The light that seems to be coming from the moon is the reflection of light from the sun which falls on the moon and gets reflected and falls on the earth. Since there is a large amount of light that gets reflected it feels like it is coming from the moon when it is not.
