Statement b is not correct.
Yesterday, the Solar Orbiter, a collaborative mission between the European Space Agency and NASA to study the Sun, took off from Cape Canaveral in Florida.
Before SolO, all solar imaging instruments have been within the ecliptic plane, in which all planets orbit and which is aligned with the sun’s equator.
The new spacecraft will use the gravity of Venus and Earth to swing itself out of the ecliptic plane, passing inside the orbit of Mercury, and will be able to get a bird’s eye view of the sun’s poles for the first time.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with respect to the Indian Constitution-
- There is a phrase “by suitable legislation” mentioned in Article 44.
- Personal laws are listed in the Union List.
Which of the above is/are correct?
Correct
https://www.civilsdaily.com/news/explained-uniform-civil-code-the-debate-the-status-2/
Article 44 of the Constitution lays down that the state shall endeavour to secure a UCC for the citizens throughout the territory of India.
Fundamental rights are enforceable in a court of law. While Article 44 uses the words “the state shall endeavour”, other Articles in the ‘Directive Principles’ chapter use words such as “in particular strive”; “shall, in particular, direct its policy”; “shall be the obligation of the state” etc.
But “personal laws” are mentioned in the Concurrent List. Last year, the Law Commission concluded that a Uniform Civil Code is neither feasible nor desirable.
