Astronauts who traveled to the moon were able to float slightly as they walked along its surface. Why were the astronauts able to do this? The weight of the astronaut on Earth is less than his weight on the moon. The mass of the astronaut on Earth is less than his mass on the moon. The weight of the astronaut on Earth is greater than his weight on the moon. The mass of the astronaut on Earth is greater than his mass on the moon.

The weight of the astronaut on earth is greater than his weight on the moon.

Explanation:

The reason I got this answer is because the astronaut will have the same mass on the moon as he does on earth. Also the weight of a person or object is determined by gravity. So since the moons gravity isn’t as strong as earths gravity the astronauts are lighter in terms of weight, and this is how they slightly float.

scattering of light by tiny particles in air to produce the colors we see on sky, is dependent on the following factors:

(i) wavelength of light

(ii) size of the scattering particle  

(iii) distance traveled by light through the atmosphere.

according to rayleigh's law of scattering, the amount of scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of its wavelength. shorter the wavelength, greater is its scattering. hence violet/blue light is scattered more than red.

sun's light is a composite light ( visible light) with wavelengths in the range 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red). as sunlight passes through our atmosphere, the molecules of air scatter light according to their wavelengths. during sunrise and sunset, the sun's position is below the horizon. hence light from the sun travels a greater distance in the atmosphere when compared to its position a noon.

as sunlight enters the earth's atmosphere, blue light is scattered away and at the end of its journey in the sky, only red and orange wavelengths remain in the beam.

hence at sunrise and sunset, the sky appears reddish orange.
