Facts About Light 1 year 20 weeks ago

The moon does not generate any light of its own. It merely reflects sunlight. So, moonlight is actually sunlight with a different label! An eclipse occurs when light from the sun is blocked by the moon getting in the way, or when the earth gets in the way and prevents sunlight from falling on the moon. Velocity of light and speed of light are nearly the same in terms of distance travelled within a particular period of time. Talking about light and its speed, one light year is actually the physical distance you would cover if you travel non stop at the speed of light for one full year!

The Scale of The Universe: Measuring The Cosmos 1 year 47 weeks ago

In order to have an accurate map of the universe, astronomers must use some scale of measurements. But units such as miles are far too small to be useful in measuring the vast distances of objects beyond our solar system.

Instead, astronomers use the light-years, the distance that a ray of light travels in one year. Since light moves at a speed of about 186,300 miles per second, a light-year is approximately 6 million million, or 6 trillion, miles.

RECORD SPEED 1 year 10 weeks ago

This entry contains the most recorded or estimated speed record on Earth for human beings and for the means of locomotion. The speed, although the SI (International System) is measured in m / s, is given here in km / h (kilometers per hour), for reasons of convenience and familiarity, and it is generally understood as the average speed or the ratio between the distance traveled and time taken to travel.

Everything About Earth From A Numerical Perspective 1 year 39 weeks ago

Earth is a spectacular planet when viewed from space. It is a 4.6 billion year old blue sphere and it appears to be a perfectly round sphere out there, but it is not. The Earth bulges out at its equator by an additional 83 miles compared to the circumference taken from pole to pole. This is small amount with respect to the circumference but it is enough to make Earth an imperfect sphere. This bulge occurs because the earth is spinning at an amazing speed of approximately 1,040 miles per hour about its axis at the equator.
