Raghav Choudhary answered

Differentiating the Odd One Out

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to choose the word that is different from the rest. Let us look at each option and analyze them to determine the odd one out.

a) Sun - The sun is a star that is the center of our solar system. It provides light and heat to all the planets in the solar system.

b) Moon - The moon is a natural satellite of the Earth. It is the fifth-largest moon in the solar system and is the largest relative to the size of its host planet.

c) Star - A star is a luminous sphere of plasma that is held together by its own gravity. It emits energy in the form of light and heat and is the building block of galaxies.

d) Planets - Planets are celestial bodies that orbit around a star. They are massive enough to be rounded by their own gravity and are not massive enough to cause thermonuclear fusion.

e) Universe - The universe is everything that exists, including all matter, energy, and space. It comprises all galaxies, stars, planets, and other celestial bodies.

Conclusion:

Based on the above analysis, we can see that the odd one out is the word "Universe" because it is not a specific celestial body or object but refers to everything that exists. The other options are specific objects that exist within the universe. Therefore, option E is the correct answer.
