Show on a big screenLook up on a clear night. What is all that, really?
This is Chapter 12 of your NCERT Science book. It is Beyond Earth.
What you will learn
- Star, planet or Moon — three different kinds of thing.
- The Moon's phases — the Sun always lights half the Moon. That half never changes size.
- Waxing and waning — the bright part grows, then shrinks.
- The solar system — eight planets, each at its own distance.
- Finding your way, and looking carefully — the Pole Star, then the telescope.

- Day and night (in Track Zero). Earth spins. That is why day turns to night.
