The Sun is Yellow




From small age you have always drawn the sun round and always we color it in yellow color but if you look at the Afternoon Sun , you'd be forgiven for thinking it looks Yellow , It will be orange in color.
The light it gives off is technically white. The Earth's Atmosphere makes the star appear yellow as it scatters high wavelength colors like red, orange and yellow.


Sharks can smell a drop of blood from miles away




Actually sharks have a strong smell but I think some people have taken this sentence to their overthinking power. 
Sharks have a highly enlarged brain region for smelling odor , allowing blood per 10 billion parts water roughly a drop in an Olympic size Pool  which is 50 m or 164 feet in length, 25 m 82 feet in width , 2 m or 6 feet in depth. But the ocean is too big and it takes awhile for oduor molecules to drift. When the currents are favourable the shark can smell the oduor from a few football fields away off-course not miles away. 




Sharks die if they stop swimming 


We often hear that sharks can breathe only when swimming pushes water over their gills. It is true for some sharks , but many others - like bottom dwelling nurse shark can pump oxygen right water over their gills without swimming. All sharks lack swim bladders so if they stop swimming they will sink to the bottom. Luckily a sharks body is incompressible and rapid descents or ascents don't harm them.



There are only 3 states of matter 




We forgot a big one which is " Plasma " . It is easy to assume solids are the most abundant form of matter in the cosmos , since we all live on a giant rock. But plasma is vastly more abundant; stars , including the sun, are gigantic orbs of glowing plasma. There are other sub phrases of matter, but solid, liquid, gas and plasma are the main ones.



Space makes you weightless


Most scientists agree that space begins 62 miles up, where the earth's atmosphere is more or less a vacuum. Yet going past this point does not magically make you weightless. If you're in an accelerating rocket, you will feel many times the gravity of Earth. It's only when you start falling that you feel weightless. To orbit something is to fall forever around that object. The moon around Earth, Earth around the sun, the solar system around the Milky Way Galaxy.
 They're all falling towards one another in a crazy cosmic dance. If you're 250 miles above Earth, you have to travel 17,500 mph around the planet to experience continuous free fall ( the same speed in which the International Space Station and its astronauts travel.)  


Hoping this Information Helps you !

Science must begin with Myths,

and with the criticism of Myths.

These are some facts that you should surely see or read whatever. 1.It stretches out your spine  Astronauts can grow up to 3% taller in space.That means that a 6 foot tall astronauts could take on an extra two inches. The growth spurt happens because microgravity allows the squishy spinal discs between the vertebra freedom to relax and expand - almost like relieving pressure on a spring.  It takes a few months to return to normal height after they get back to Earth. It also h...

Insect Invasion on Taj Mahal

LIVE IN NOW, HEAL THE PAST AND  DREAM THE FUTURE , BUT TILL THEN FEED ON KNOWLEDGE. #Know2              The Taj Mahal in India , is One of the World's of Wonder .  It is Monument of  Pride for India but now it is attacked by the insects. Green and Black stains have once again started appearing on the marble walls of Taj Mahal due to insect attack.
