Question

Assertion (A): The Earth belongs to the Milky Way galaxy.

Reason (R): The Milky Way galaxy appears like a faint band of white light across the night sky.

विकल्प

• Both A and R are true and R is the correct reason for A.

• Both A and R are true but R is not the correct reason for A.

• A is true and R is false.

• A is false and R is true.

Answer 1

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct reason for A.

Explanation:

The Earth belongs to the Milky Way galaxy (A is true). The Milky Way does appear as a faint band of white light across the night sky (R is true), but this appearance is due to the dense collection of stars in the galaxy, not the reason why Earth belongs to it. Hence, R is not the correct reason for A.
