Question

Explain this common observation clearly: if you look out of the window of a fast moving train, the nearby trees, houses etc., seem to move rapidly in the direction opposite to the train's motion. But the distant object (hilltops, the moon, the stars) seem to be stationary. (In fact, since you are aware that you are moving these distance objects seem to move with you).

Answer 1

Line of sight is characterized as a fanciful line joining a protest and a spectator's eye. When we watch adjacent stationary protests, for example, trees, houses, and so forth while sitting in a moving train, they seem to move quickly the other way on the grounds that the observable pathway changes quickly .

Then again, removed questions, for example, trees, stars, and so forth seem stationary as a result of the extensive separation. Thus, the observable pathway does not alter its course quickly .

Answer 2

Line of Sight is the line joining the object and eye .

When a train moves rapidly :

1. The line of sight changes its direction rapidly as a result the nearby

trees and other objects appear to run in a direction opposite the train’s

motion .

2. On the other hand in case of far objects like mountains , hills , moon ,

starts  etc  the line of sight changes  its direction extremely slowly as a

result the distant object seems to be at stationary.
