(A) THINK AND TELL:
(1) On a new moon day, we cannot see the moon even through it is there in the sky. Why is that so?
Answer:
We live on the earth. The Earth gets light from the sun. Some sunlight gets reflected from the surface of the earth on the surface of the moon. Thus the moon gets reflected sunlight. On the new moon day, the moon does not get any reflected sunlight. So that, on a new moon day, we cannot see the moon even though it is there in the sky.
(2) Why do birds return to their nests earlier in winter than in summer?
Answer:
The days are shorter in winter but in summer, the days are longer. So, the sun sets early in winter and it gets dark early. That’s why the birds return to their nests earlier in winter than summer.
(B) ANSWER IN BRIEF:
