Estimate the average speed of movement of a photon from the center of the Sun to the surface if it is known that the radius of the Sun is about 200 times less than the distance from the Sun to the Earth, and the distance from the Sun's surface to the Earth is covered by a photon in 500 seconds.

“In the morning I see from the window The early moon is in the sky. To distinguish it for us, Need to semicircle Give us a stick Get the letter P there. "

What representatives of the feline family are on the star map? And the canine families?

Decision. The artist meant sunrise. In the northern hemisphere in winter, the Sun rises and sets closer to the point south on the horizon. In the winter drawing, the Sun rises to the right, that is, the south in the picture to the right, therefore, directly from the reader - the east and the Sun rises, but does not set (10 points).

“In the morning I see from the window The early moon is in the sky. To distinguish it for us, Need to semicircle Give us a stick Get the letter P there. " What's wrong with these lines? Solution (For a complete solution 10 points). The Waxing Moon looks like the bow of the letter P (which is the reason for the mnemonic rule). The waxing moon is visible in the west in the evenings, sets after the sun and cannot be observed in the morning. In the mornings, the crescent of the moon is visible at the end of the lunar month, and then it looks like the letter C. And if the observer really sees the moon in the morning in the form of an arch of the letter P, it means that he is in the southern hemisphere of the Earth. And he looks at the same letter C, being "upside down" in relation to us, the inhabitants of the middle latitudes of the northern hemisphere (5 + 5 points). Decision. Tides are caused by the attraction of the world's oceans by the Moon. One tidal "hump" is formed in the direction of the Moon, the other - from the opposite side of the globe. The sun also causes tides on Earth, but their height is less (about half). In the new moon phase, the directions to the moon and the sun coincide, in the full moon phase they are opposite. In both cases, the "humps" from the lunar and solar tides add up (10 points).

All-Russian Olympiad in Astronomy.

School stage (questions and answers). October 2009.

classes

What will be new in heaven after it is old?

Answer. The obvious answer is the Moon, which at the end of the lunar month looks like "old", and after the new moon - like "new". But this is also true for the Sun and stars like the Sun - at the end of their evolution, they flare up as new stars (5 points).

Before you is a drawing from a natural history textbook, in which the artist depicted three seasons. Do you think the artist painted the sunrise or sunset from the porch of his dacha outside Moscow? Justify the answer. Decision. The artist meant sunrise. In the northern hemisphere in winter, the Sun rises and sets closer to the point south on the horizon. In the winter drawing, the Sun rises to the right, that is, the south in the picture to the right, therefore, directly from the reader - the east and the Sun rises, but does not set (10 points).

On the website "Children's e-books and presentations"dedicated to teaching young children, there is a presentation about the moon. Among other things, the presentation used the following rhyme:

Which nebula is not a nebula? What meteorite is not a meteorite? What else do you know about these bodies? Answer. The Andromeda Nebula is the closest large galaxy to us; on a dark night, it is visible to the naked eye as a hazy speck in the constellation Andromeda. The Tunguska meteorite fell in the Siberian taiga on June 30, 1908. Its fragments were never found, so scientists believe that it was not a meteorite, but an icy comet nucleus (4 + 4 + 2 points).

Oceanic dwellers know that the highest tides occur during the full moon and new moon. Why does this happen? Decision. Tides are caused by the attraction of the world's oceans by the Moon. One tidal "hump" is formed in the direction of the Moon, the other - from the opposite side of the globe. The sun also causes tides on Earth, but their height is less (about half). In the new moon phase, the directions to the moon and the sun coincide, in the full moon phase they are opposite. In both cases, the "humps" from the lunar and solar tides add up (10 points).
