Suppose you are playing hide and seek with your siblings and you are trying to hide yourself, immediately you cover your entire body with a blanket lying on the bed. What do you see when you open your eyes?
Well, that's exactly how outer space looks like from outside the earth. Space is completely a silent black bedspread containing numerous kinds of entities. There are plenty of things we know and do not know about 'Space'.
Did you know? Mars has the biggest volcano as well as the longest valley in our solar system , a new star is born every 18 days and the sun can contain about one million earths in it etc. I did a lot of research and finally here are some awesome and mind blowing facts about 'Space'.
On the basis of theories when The Earth was young, it collapsed with a giant object and the drastic collision broke a huge part of The Earth away.
The broken part then started to orbit The Earth due to the gravitational force and nowadays we call that part “The Moon”.
Not The Moon, not The Earth in fact some countries on The Earth are bigger than the former planet ‘Pluto’ such as - The Unite States of America, Russia, Brazil etc.
Well, that is the reason ‘Pluto’ is no longer considered as a planet in the solar system. Don't worry Pluto! you are still the 10th most immense body that orbits the sun directly.
Humans have gained a lot of knowledge about the outer world and still engaged to find more and more but we still are not that much capable to have significant knowledge of our own home.
It might surprise you that only 5% of the oceans' floor has been mapped so far. If talk about the red planet and the little ‘Moon’, then 100% of their surface has been mapped by humans.
Space is the best place for those people who hate other people burping because it is impossible to burp in space.
The reason is, the air of our stomach needs to be separated for the process of burping but due to the lack gravity it does not separate and rise up from ingested food.
Although our solar system has some weird looking planets but it also contains some planets with some awesome characteristics for example - Saturn.
It is the second largest planet in the solar system after Jupiter and most importantly, this is the only planet which can float in water. Well, that's because the planet with a glorious ring is mostly made up of gas. Make sure you have a giant swimming-pool.
In 2016, a strange radio signal coming from 5 billion light-years away was detected by scientists. It means, at that time our Earth did not even exist when the radio signal started its journey from 5 billion light-years away.
It simply refers that we really are not alone in this enormous universe.
Do not pretend to be busy when a kid asks you why the heck stars twinkle. Simply explain to them, when the light of a star enters the Earth's atmosphere, it has to go through different environments. The starlight is affected by winds as well as different temperatures and different areas in its entire journey. That's the reason why beautiful stars twinkle.
Where Jupiter has 79 moons , Saturn has 62 moons, Neptune has 14 moons, Uranus has 27 moons, Mars has 2 moons , our Earth has 1 moon , even Pluto has 5 moons but mercury and Venus do not have any single moon. Thus there are a total of 190 moons in our solar system. There are even some moons which are bigger than these two unlucky planets.
It is one of the most obvious questions of our childhood, how high are the clouds. Well, there is not any solid boundary between air space and outer space but ‘Karman line’ sits at 62 miles (about 90 km) above from the Earth's sea level and it is considered the start of outer space. The distance between New Jersey and Burlington would be sufficient to reach outer space if you flew straight up to the sky.
