The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "As compared to Moon, Earth is...", we need to analyze the given options: dull, bright, small, and with equal albedo. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Brightness**: - The Earth appears bright when viewed from space due to its atmosphere and the reflection of sunlight. In contrast, the Moon has a more muted appearance because it lacks an atmosphere and has a surface that reflects less light. - **Conclusion**: Earth is bright compared to the Moon. 2. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option 1: Dull**: This suggests that Earth is less bright than the Moon, which is incorrect. Therefore, this option is false. - **Option 2: Bright**: This correctly states that Earth is bright compared to the Moon. Therefore, this option is true. - **Option 3: Small**: The Earth is significantly larger than the Moon, approximately 80 times bigger. Thus, this option is false. - **Option 4: With Equal Albedo**: Albedo refers to the reflectivity of a surface. The Earth has a higher albedo than the Moon, meaning it reflects more sunlight. Therefore, this option is also false. 3. **Final Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the only correct option is that Earth is bright compared to the Moon. ### Answer: The correct answer is **Option 2: Bright**.
