Question 3 of 5
3. Question
With reference to Coordinated Lunar Time (LTC), consider the following statements:
1. As there is less gravity on the Moon, time ticks slightly faster there relative to the time on the Earth.
2. LTC will provide a time-keeping benchmark for lunar spacecraft and satellites that require extreme precision for their missions.
3. It will also synchronize the communication between satellites, astronauts, bases and the Earth.
How many of the statements is/are incorrect?
Correct
(d) None
The American space agency NASA says it wants to come up with an out-of-this-world way to follow time on its own clock for the moon. It would not be connected to the different time zones found on Earth.
The moon clock would have an entirely different time for the moon. That is because there is less gravity on the moon. So, time moves a little bit quicker compared to Earth. It moves about 58.7 microseconds faster every day.
Coordinated Lunar Time (LTC): It will provide a time-keeping benchmark for lunar spacecraft and satellites that require extreme precision for their missions.
It will also synchronize the communication between satellites, astronauts, bases and the Earth.
A unified time standard would be essential for coordinating operations, ensuring the reliability of transactions and managing the logistics of lunar commerce.
