  What planets have the weirdest cycles? Mercury is a strange planet. Not very hospitable, temperature going from -173 to 427, which freaking sucks. For a human.     I always thought it was interesting how it takes 88 days for the planet to go around the sun (it’s the closet planet to the sun). But it takes 176 days for the planet to fully rotate.   Essentially, its day is twice as long as its year.   What’s crazy too, it’s actually not the hottest planet either. Even though it is right near the sun. That’s because it has no atmosphere. Cooling effects are quicker.   Venus:     On the other hand, hangs out 460–472C. Not even a tardigrade can hang with that. But Venus does have a lot in common with Earth otherwise. It’s of similar size and has a core, mantle, and crust.   Also, and I’m not sure why, but Venus spins in the opposite direction of every other planet in the solar system. Space is a weird place.  

  What is the scariest planet? One of them has definitely got to be the planet of PSR B1257+12, a star of the Virgo constellation.   This tiny planet is one of the most uniquely uninhabitable ever discovered. Instead of roasting you or tearing you apart with wind, this planet will fry you with radiation lasers.     This planet’s star which is responsible for this is called a pulsar, a collapsed neutron star revolving 161 times a second.   Pulsars are an extremely interesting phenomenon. Unlike ordinary stars, which emit light and radiation in every direction, pulsars blast almost all their energy out of their north and south poles, creating extremely concentrated “death rays” of radiation.   Because pulsars spin at such an extremely high speed, their entire solar systems are essentially bathed in ridiculous amounts of radiation, enough to kill a human in a blink of an eye.   Not a fun way to go, but a cool one nonetheless.    

  Indian Premier League Indian cricket league Indian Premier League (IPL) , Indian professional  Twenty20 (T20)   cricket  league established in 2008. The league, which is based on a round-robin group and knockout format, has teams in major  Indian  cities. The brainchild of the  Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the IPL has developed into the most lucrative and most popular outlet for the game of cricket. Matches generally begin in late afternoon or evening so that at least a portion of them are played under floodlights at night to maximize the television audience for worldwide broadcasts. Initially, league matches were played on a home-and-away basis between all teams, but, with the planned expansion to 10 clubs (divided into two groups of five) in 2011, that format changed so that matches between some teams would be limited to a single encounter. The top four teams contest three play-off matches, with one losing team being given a second chance to reach the final, a wrin

  What would life look like on a high gravity planet? Best example, the elcor from Mass Effect:     On a high-gravity planet, a fall can be fatal, so any life would have to be heavily built and quadrupedal (or more), to ensure a stable gait and a low centre of gravity.   High gravity planets would likely have a much thicker atmosphere, so lungs would have to be much stronger to move the air, and hearts would have to be much stronger to pump blood against the greater force of gravity. Veins would probably also have muscles, like our arteries do. Oxygen would likely be much more concentrated, so creatures could become larger.   Flying animals are unlikely on a high-gravity planet, unless the atmosphere is thick enough to support their weight, like whales in water.     Waves on a high gravity planet would be very small, but pack a huge punch. I’m not sure what volcanoes would be like, though they likely wouldn’t erupt until the pressure had reached gargantuan levels,

  Can the Sun be seen from the ISS?   The International Space Station is constantly blocked from seeing the Sun by all those pesky space mountains and space trees… as well as their annoying alien Ziggleglorkian neighbours’ constant construction of space skyscrapers that blot out the Sun’s wholesome light - despite such building projects clearly contradicting the Space Home Owners Association guidelines     Seriously.   The ISS is bathed in pure, unobstructed sunlight every 96 minutes - before being blocked by the Earth again 96 minutes after that     Each individual photon hitting the ISS has been travelling from the center of the Sun for about 300,000 years (and then the 8 minutes it takes to blast towards Earth from the Sun’s surface at… y’know… lightspeed) - so those 96 minute intervals really ain’t no thang   Also, the second that sunlight hits the ISS, all the exposed surfaces instantly heat up to 120°C… and when the ISS passes back into the Earth’s sha

  Why were dinosaurs so big? Dinosaurs have lived in Triassic , Jurassic and Cretaceous, In these period climate was very much different from now where it was much warmer and CO2 is 8 times more compared now . These CO2 have produced enormuos growth for plants and there were plenty of food and that why some dinosaurs were so huge.

  Who Was Epimenides? Epimenides was a greek philosopher and a poet , he was active in 7 or 8 th century BC. Epimenides is said that he lived in cretan for fifty seven years. In pultarch book he writes that,Epimenides cleaned athens bodies from there. He was doing the funeral service job wheras he got good impression and a friendship from athens and cnossus.   Some of them also mentioned him that he sacrificed for athens. He died in crete , After his death he was rewarded as god from the courtmens , he have lived more than hundered years.

  Why Do Earthquakes Happen? Erathquakes usally cause because of underground rock breaks , which happen suddenly. The sudden shake of the rocks release a energy called seismic waves. When two rocks rubs eachother they stick each other.The rocks just dont hit smothly , they hit hard.The rocks put pressure each other so, the rocks cracks.Wheen teh rocks breaks earthquake. The spot where the rocks break is called focus. Little Experiment on Earthquake Break a full foam and give the pressure on the foam upwards and downwards and you can see a little bit after the foam cracks due the continuous pressure and at one point it breaks into two halfs.

Marie Curie Marie Curie, née Sklodowska The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1911 Born: 7 November 1867, Warsaw, Russian Empire (now Poland) Died: 4 July 1934, Sallanches, France Affiliation at the time of the award: Sorbonne University, Paris, France Prize motivation: "in recognition of her services to the advancement of chemistry by the discovery of the elements radium and polonium, by the isolation of radium and the study of the nature and compounds of this remarkable element." Prize share: 1/1 Also awarded:  The Nobel Prize in Physics 1903 Marie Sklodowska was born in Warsaw, Poland, to a family of teachers who believed strongly in education. She moved to Paris to continue her studies and there met Pierre Curie, who became both her husband and colleague in the field of radioactivity. The couple later shared the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics. Marie was widowed in 1906, but continued the couple's work and went on to become the first person ever to be awarde

  Elon Musk Elon Musk is a South African-born living in American entrepreneur and businessman who founded X.com in 1999 which later became PayPal SpaceX in 2002 and Tesla Motors in 2003. Musk became a multimillionaire in his late 20s when he sold his start-up company, Zip2 to a division of Compaq Computers. He was also one of the first significant investors in, as well as chief executive officer of, the  electric car  manufacturer Tesla.   Musk was born on June 28, 1971, in Pretoria, South Africa. As a child, Musk was so lost in his daydreams about inventions that his parents and doctors ordered a test to check his hearing. At age 17, in 1989, Musk moved to Canada to attend Queen’s University and avoid mandatory service in the South African military. Musk obtained his Canadian citizenship that year, in part because he felt it would be easier to obtain American citizenship via that path. In 1992, Musk left Canada to study business and physics at the University of Pennsylvania.
