    given to the children ?
    Ans. The two important instructions were :
    (a) To be extremely careful while roaming
    outside the human settlements on the moon
    because a gravitational force equivalent to
    that of the earth had been artificially
    maintained in the human settlements but
    outside the settlements the gravitational
    force of the moon was at work.

    4. What was special about the sky watch on the


    moon ?
    Ans. The speciality about the sky watch was that
    the stars shone dazzling bright against the dark
    background of the moon sky because there is no
    atmosphere on the moon.

    5. What does it tell you about the conditions on

    Ans. Yes, Sayali was making a mistake when she
    bought the earrings.
    She had been instructed to buy articles only
    from the shops which were inside the dome
    shaped settlements which were genuine and not
    to buy anything from the unauthorized shops
    outside the settlement. She ignored these
    instructions and purchased from outside the
    settlement.

    7. Why had the earrings become so heavy on the


    earth ?
    Ans. Sayali purchased the earrings from outside
    the human settlement where the moon’s
    gravitational force was at work. The gravitational

    moon, but it became very heavy on the earth
    because of the earth’s gravitational force.
