3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements regarding ESA-JAXA BepiColombo Mission:
1. BepiColombo is a joint mission between ESA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
2. The mission comprises Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO) and the Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter (MMO).
3. The MPO will study the Mercury’s magnetosphere, and the MMO will study surface and internal composition of the planet.Which of the given statement(s) is/are correct?
Correct
Following a series of tests conducted in space over the past five months, the ESA-JAXA BepiColombo mission has successfully completed its near-Earth commissioning phase and is now ready for the operations that will take place during the cruise and, eventually, for its scientific investigations at Mercury.
BepiColombo is a joint mission between ESA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), executed under ESA leadership.
The mission comprises two spacecraft: the Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO) and the Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter (MMO).
The MPO will study the surface and internal composition of the planet, and the MMO will study Mercury’s magnetosphere, that is, the region of space around the planet that is influenced by its magnetic field.
The scientific interest in going to Mercury lies in the valuable information that such a mission can provide to enhance our understanding of the planet itself as well as the formation of our Solar System; information which cannot be obtained with observations made from Earth.Incorrect

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsThe increasing amount of carbon dioxide in the air is slowly raising the temperature of the atmosphere, because it absorbs:
Correct
2012 UPSC Prelims Question
In the Greenhouse Effect, the thermal radiation from a planetary surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases, and is re-radiated.Due to this, the temperature of the body is higher than what it would have been if there was no atmosphere.
Atmospheric gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide (N2O), water vapour, and chlorofluorocarbons are capable of trapping the outgoing infrared radiation from the earth’s surface. Thus, the temperature of the global atmosphere is increased.
Among GHGs, only water vapor has the ability to absorb both incoming (UV) and outgoing (infrared) radiation.Incorrect
