Question

question 2
which of the following is true about the moon?
○ the moon rotates around the earth.
○ the moon reflects light from the sun.
○ the moon creates its own light.
○ the moon is the main cause of climate change.

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• Option 1: The moon rotates around the Earth. This is a well - known astronomical fact. The moon has an orbital period around the Earth of about 27.3 days (sidereal month).
• Option 2: The moon reflects light from the Sun, not the other way around. The Sun is the source of light, and the moon is a non - luminous body that reflects solar light.
• Option 3: The moon does not create its own light. It is a natural satellite and is non - luminous, meaning it does not produce light through any internal process like a star (which generates light via nuclear fusion).
• Option 4: The main cause of climate change is related to factors such as the increase in greenhouse gases (like carbon dioxide) in the atmosphere, mainly due to human activities (burning fossil fuels, deforestation) and some natural factors on a much smaller scale. The moon has a negligible direct impact on climate change compared to these factors.

Answer:

A. The moon rotates around the Earth.
