Solution
1.Moon is a natural satellite of the earth. But, it cannot be used as a communication satellite because of the following reasons:
(i) It is very far away from earth.
(ii) Its orbital time period is 27.3 days, which is too long.
(iii) It has neither equitorial
orbit nor polar orbit which makes a satellite useful for different purposes.
2.Sunlight reaches Earth in 8.3 minutes. So the distance between Earth and Sun is 8.3 light minutes.
