1.

Can you survive without a space suit on in Space?
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
It is not possible to survive without a space suit in space. Space is a vacuum, meaning it is devoid of air and pressure. Without a space suit, the lack of pressure would cause the fluids in our body to boil, leading to rapid decompression and ultimately death. Additionally, the extreme temperatures in space would also be lethal. Therefore, a space suit is essential for survival in the harsh conditions of outer space.

3.

There is wind on the Moon.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement "There is wind on the Moon" is false. The Moon does not have a significant atmosphere like Earth, so there is no air or wind movement on its surface. Without an atmosphere, there is no medium for wind to exist and carry particles or cause any noticeable movement.

The Moon is not bigger than the Earth.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement "The Moon is not bigger than the Earth" is true. The Moon is significantly smaller than the Earth, with a diameter of about 3,474 kilometers compared to Earth's diameter of approximately 12,742 kilometers. This size difference is evident when comparing the two celestial bodies. Therefore, the answer is true.

5.

There is gravity in only Space Ships in space.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
This statement is false because gravity exists not only in space ships but also in any object in space. Gravity is a fundamental force that attracts objects towards each other, and its presence is not limited to space ships. Objects in space, including space ships, experience gravity due to the gravitational pull of nearby celestial bodies such as planets, stars, and moons.
