TOP INTERESTING FACTS VOLUME 2
Hey, guys, this is our second volume of facts we hope you all like it. As we said that if we get another 30 visits on volume 2 we will try to bring volume 3 of interesting facts.
1. If you are on holiday doing swimming and, suddenly you remembered that you have to post a mail. What you would you do? It might happen and we have to go to the nearest postal service. But people in Susami Bay, Japan have an underwater post box, where they can post their mails. It is under 10 meters depth from the sea level and is officially recognized as a mail collection point of Susami's postal system. It has a Guinness record for the deepest underwater post box. Susami Bay became a tourist place for this underwater post box.
2. Scientists say that lightning never strikes the same place twice but, it becomes untrue when it comes to Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela. On average 280 bolts of lightning strikes per hour, it is also called the Catatumbo lightning, because the lightning occurs in the region where the river Catatumbo joins Lake Maracaibo. It is also called the most electric place on Earth. The lightning originates over above one kilometer because of this the place became a tourist spot. Maybe someday if someone invents a way to catch lightning, then this can lighten up a city.
3. Time dilation is the difference of time in two clocks due to their relative velocity. We know that but, using this time dilation we can travel through time and see our future. If you attain the speed of light and made a round trip through space and came back to earth, for what seemed to you like ten years you would actually return to earth around the year 9000. Like particle accelerator, if someone invents the machine which can attain the speed of light. then maybe one day you can see the future.
4. In our solar system Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. Because of its closer proximity to the Sun, it is very hot and life on it is also not possible. But Mercury has ice on its surface, isn't that surprising that a planet which is so close to Sun has ice. It indeed is but the ice is permanently in shadowed craters where the sunlight can't pass. The ice on the Mercury is not of its but of the comets who delivered to it.
5. Stars look beautiful, because of the beauty of stars they are also taken as a reference in poetry. But the beauty of a star is actually equal to the mass, Sounds odd right. The color of the stars range from red to white to blue, a star with red color has a temperature of 3,500 Kelvin, stars like our sun has 6,000 Kelvin, blue stars have a high temperature of 12,000 Kelvin. The temperature and color of a star are related. More the mass of a star means the larger the core and larger the core means more nuclear fusion which eventually increases the temperature on the surface of the star. It might seem odd but the beauty of a star is defined by its mass. But there is one exception for a typical red giant star with a size equal to the sun has a color white.
