Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following events can possibly be seen during the solar minimum?
1. Sunspots fade away
2. Sun becomes dull
3. Intense Solar Flares eruptionChoose the correct answer using the options below:
Correct
Explanation:
What is a solar minimum and why is it happening now?
Sun has a cycle that lasts on average 11 years, and right now we are at the peak of that cycle.
Every 11 years or so, sunspots fade away, bringing a period of relative calm.
This is called the solar minimum. And it’s a regular part of the sunspot cycle.
While intense activity such as sunspots and solar flares subside during solar minimum, that doesn’t mean the sun becomes dull. Solar activity simply changes form.
What about Solar Maximum?
Solar minima and maxima are the two extremes of the Sun’s 11-year and 400-year activity cycle.
At a maximum, the Sun is peppered with sunspots, solar flares erupt, and the Sun hurls billion- ton clouds of electrified gas into space.
Sky watchers may see more auroras, and space agencies must monitor radiation storms for astronaut protection.
Power outages, satellite malfunctions, communication disruptions, and GPS receiver malfunctions are just a few of the things that can happen during a solar maximum.Incorrect

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsIn the Indian context, what is the implication of ratifying the ‘Additional Protocol’ with the `International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)’ ?
Correct
Explanation:
India’s Additional Protocol for nuclear safeguards has been brought into force after the country handed over the instrument of ratification to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The protocol supports the sharing of more information between India and the IAEA about nuclear power plants and work with nuclear fuel materials. It covers a list of nuclear facilities that was agreed in 2008 under then-prime minister Manmohan Singh, but its implementation stalled in the last few years of his premiership.
Having taken power in late May, new prime minister Narendra Modi ratified the protocol on 24 June, and India’s ambassador to the IAEA, Rajiva Misra, handed the document to IAEA director general Yukiya Amano on 25 July. From that day the additional protocol was in force.
