The colour of a star indicates its temperature.

Black holes form the remnants of a large star that dies in a


supernova explosion.
The ''Black Hole Theory'' was propounded by : [Link]

A 'black hole' is a body in space which does not allow


any type of radiation to come out. This property is
due to its –High density
Supernova-Dying Star Solar energy is due to nuclear Fusion

The scientist who rst discovered that the Earth revolves around the Sun with an average speed (orbital
velocity) of 29.8 km/second (30 km/sec). The orbital velocity
earth revolves around the sun was – is 29.8 km / sec.
Copernicus equatorial circumference of the Earth is nearly 40,000 km

Planets are non-luminous bodies but they shine Aryabhatta was the first to explain that the rotation of
because they re ect the light of the Sun. the earth on its own axis accounts for the daily rising and
setting of the sun.

Earth axis of rotation is always inclined


at an angle of 23030' (23.50) from the elliptic axis.
