Given below are two statements : one is labelled as
Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason
(R).
Assertion (A) : The angular speed of the moon in
its orbit about the earth is more than the angular
speed of the earth in its orbit about the sun.
Reason (R) : The moon takes less time to move
around the earth than the time taken by the earth to
move around the sun.
In the light of the above statements, choose the
most appropriate answer from the options given
below:
Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason
(R).
Assertion (A) : The angular speed of the moon in
its orbit about the earth is more than the angular
speed of the earth in its orbit about the sun.
Reason (R) : The moon takes less time to move
around the earth than the time taken by the earth to
move around the sun.
In the light of the above statements, choose the
most appropriate answer from the options given
below:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the
correct explanation of (A)
correct explanation of (A)
Option D (Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)) is correct because the moon's shorter orbital period around the Earth directly results in a higher angular speed compared to the Earth's orbit around the Sun.
