MCQ practice · SSC Bangladesh and Global Studies Board questions · Chapter 3: The Solar System and the Earth
How are the Moon and Sun placed with the Earth on the new-moon day?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a at a right angle
- b on the same side
- c parallel
- d on two sides
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: b on the same side
The book says on the new-moon day the Moon and Sun lie on the same side of the Earth.
Why the other options are wrong
- a at a right angle: At a right angle is on the 7th and 8th days.
- c parallel: Being parallel is a feature of latitude lines; the Moon and Sun are on the same side.
- d on two sides: On two sides is on full moon: the Moon on one side and the Sun on the other.
