Solution

The correct option is C 1 only
  • The sun is red during sunrise and sunset due to less scattering of red light.
  • Due to the lack of atmosphere on the moon, refraction does not occur. Therefore stars don't seem to twinkle.
  • Similarly, due to the lack of atmospheric particles, the light does not scatter on the moon and thus the sky appears black.
