SPACE EXPLORATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The International Space Station (ISS) is a huge science laboratory that orbits Earth every 92 minutes. Experiments on board the ISS can help scientists learn-
A
why Earth rotates on its axis every day.
B
what substances are found in moon dust.
C
when the first green plants appeared on Earth.
D
how to solve problems of living in space.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Earth-observing CubeSats regularly deploy from the station’s airlock. Astronauts take photos of the planet from the orbiting lab’s windows. This outpost even conducts Earth science experiments. All of this work provides insight into the climate of our home and how we might prepare for coming changes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Throughout the more than 20 years of the ISS program researchers aboard the ISS and on the ground have examined aerosols, ozone, water vapor, and oxides in Earth’s atmosphere, as well as the Sun, cosmic rays, cosmic dust, antimatter, and dark matter in the universe.

Detailed explanation-3: -Capillary Flow Experiments (CFE) aboard the space station study the movement of a liquid along surfaces, similar to the way fluid wicks along a paper towel. These investigations produce space-based models that describe fluid behavior in microgravity, which has led to a new medical testing device on Earth.
