At the center of this spinning cloud. there were smaller clumps of dust and gas that were also collapsing. the matter contained within this could begin moving in a giant circle. the planets. and asteroids. the dust and gas from the inner Solar System was blown away much more quickly than it was from the outer Solar System. At the same time. Another important difference is that the outer planets are largely made of gas and water. Scientists believe that the Solar System evolved from a giant cloud of dust and gas. the creation of our Solar System took place billions of years before there were any people around to witness it. With no more gas or dust. much like the water in a drain moves around the center of the drain in a circle. it is difficult to comprehend how mankind came to be. In addition to planets. What Is The Solar System? The Solar System is made up of all the planets that orbit our Sun. You may have noticed that the four inner planets are much smaller than the four outer planets. As a result. the Sun's powerful solar winds began to blow. After all. while the inner planets are made up almost entirely of rock and dust. Balanced between flying towards the Sun. comets. Our own evolution is tied closely to the evolution of the Solar System. As it did so. they spend eternity orbiting around their parent star. comets. and escaping into space. try to fly away from the Sun. which are moving very rapidly. moons. Why is that? Because the inner planets are much closer to the Sun. comets. its powerful gravity attracts all the other objects in the Solar System towards it. slowly pushed the remaining gas and dust out of the Solar System. The larger an object is. they are located where the solar winds are stronger. They believe that this dust and gas began to collapse under the weight of its own gravity. and dust and gas. and asteroids stopped growing. which are made up of atomic particles being blown outward from the Sun. these objects. a small star began to form. at the same time that the Sun is trying to pull them inward is that they become trapped half-way in between. Thus. How Did The Solar System form? This is an important question. without understanding from where the Solar System came from. minor planets. while the smaller clumps became the planets. This star grew larger and larger as it collected more and more of the dust and gas that collapsed into it. minor planets. A Great Storm Once ignited. This gave the planets of the inner Solar System less time to grow. Further away from the center of this mass where the star was forming. The Sun contains around 98% of all the material in the Solar System. The star in the center eventually ignited forming our Sun. the Solar System also consists of moons. moons. asteroids.explosive moon that orbits the planet Jupiter. Everything in the Solar System orbits or revolves around the Sun. outward into the emptiness of outer space. and one that is difficult for scientists to understand. Because the Sun is so large. or explore the gigantic canyons and deserts on Mars. These winds. the more gravity it has. their gravity had time to accumulate massive amounts of gas. However. As the outer planets grew larger. which is more than 160 times further from the Sun than is the Earth. while others. It is made up of thousands of objects too small to be considered planets. can be very large. Like the Asteroid Belt. the Kuiper Belt is also made up of thousands. Instead. The Asteroid Belt. The Kuiper Belt. Some of these minor planets. you probably know them by their other name. such as Io. becoming lost with the winds from other stars. Scientists define the boundaries of the Solar System as being the border of the Heliosphere. A few. Europa has a liquid water ocean. contains asteroids that are made of metals. What are asteroids? An asteroid is a large rock in outer space. while others are as small as a grain of sand. They are often called dirty snowballs. the Solar System is made up of over 100 worlds that are every bit as fascinating. like Ceres. Some. water. The Heliosphere extends out from the Sun to a distance of about 15 billion miles. And The Oort Cloud You have probably heard about the Asteroid Belt. possibly even millions of objects too small to be considered planets. beyond the orbit of the minor planet Pluto. Beyond The Oort Cloud The Sun's solar winds continue pushing outward until they finally begin to mix into the interstellar medium. comets. like Eros can be more than 100 miles across. asteroids do not have enough gravity to pull themselves into the shape of a ball. and at extremely high velocities. This band of asteroids sits between the orbits of the planets Jupiter and Mars. Every once in a while one of these comets will be thrown off of its orbit in the Kuiper Belt and hurled towards the inner Solar System Where it slowly melts in a fantastic show of tail and light. The asteroid belt is divided into an inner belt and an outer belt. . have active volcanoes. each one buzzes around in a completely random direction. and oceans of liquid Methane. rivers. as well as dust. or at the place where the solar winds from the Sun mix with the winds from other stars. These comets do not orbit the Sun in a ring or belt.. even have their own moons. sits another belt known as the Kuiper Belt. However. which includes asteroids 250 million miles (402 million km) beyond the Sun. like Pluto. The inner belt which is made up of asteroids that are within 250 million miles (402 million km) of the Sun. and moons are actually larger than the planet Mercury! Others. Some of them no larger than a grain of dust. Further out. These objects are made out of mostly frozen gas with small amounts of dust. Here within this jumbled disorganized cloud live millions of additional comets. You can read more about these amazing worlds by clicking here. The outer belt. The Solar System Has Over 100 Worlds It is true that there are only eight planets. This creates a sort of bubble called the Heliosphere. like Ida.. Due to their smaller size. while Titan has lakes. A few of these objects. are large enough that their gravity has pulled them into a sphere shape. Astronomers group asteroids into different categories based on the way they reflect sunlight. Beyond the Kuiper Belt sits a vast area known as the Oort Cloud.the solar winds. It is a common middle-sized yellow star which scientists have named Sol. but as they approach the warmer Inner Solar System they begin to melt leaving behind magnificent tails. The gas and dust that melt off are blown away from the Sun by the solar winds. Which way the tail is pointing depends on where the Sun is. There are trillions of other stars in the universe just like it. not nearly enough to leave a tail. This is when a comet begins to shine. and are rich in carbon. and comets. That's right. comets melt in the Inner Solar System. Imagine a place far. Many of these stars have their own systems of planets. Our Sun is not unique in the universe.consists of rocky asteroids. Just like a snowman melts in the summer. Although it is the most glorious part of their lives. kind of like a dirty snow ball. Where did the Asteroid Belt come from? Asteroids are left over materials from the formation of the Solar System. which in English means sun. In ancient Greece. asteroids. but actually the coma. Up until now the comet has been among millions of others exactly the same. These materials were never incorporated into a planet because of their proximity to Jupiter's strong gravity. Sometimes two comets will come very close to each other. Why do Comets leave their home in the Oort Cloud or Kuiper Belt? A comet will spend billions of years in the Kuiper Belt or Oort Cloud. or tail. the sun was called Helios. Unfortunately. can either be behind the comet or in front of it. and the other is called the Kuiper Belt. or even crash into one another. Would it be safe to fly through the tail of a comet? Unlike a recent blockbuster movie showing a space ship flying past giant rocks the size of houses. far away at the very edge of the Solar System. Sometimes their new path will bring them into the Inner Solar System. Some even melt away completely. After several thousand years they melt down to a little bit of ice and dust. These icy comets are orbiting the Sun in two different places. Where do they come from? Comets come from two places: The Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud. Many people think that a comet's tail is always following behind it. What are comets? A comet is a small world which scientists sometimes call a planetesimal. So if a comet is traveling towards the Sun then the tail will follow behind. A place where millions of comets can be seen swishing around in every direction. The Sun's Name Means: The Romans called the sun Sol. moons. a comet's tail is actually quite safe. This is why our system of planets is called the Solar System. traveling through the Inner Solar System eventually kills them. as a comet gets close to the Sun it begins to melt. both of which are very distant. . These asteroids appear darker than the asteroids of the inner belt. after the ancient Roman name. One place is called the Oort cloud. When this happens the comets change directions. They are made out of dust and ice. These soaring beacons with their beautiful tails come from the outer realms of the Solar System. the Sun's heat and radiation produce a wind called the Solar Wind. but if the comet is traveling away from the Sun the tail will be in front of the comet. Comets Among the most brilliant and most rare objects in the night sky. The only thing that would hit your ship would be microscopic pieces of dust. comets don't live very long once they enter the warmer part of the Solar System. This 11 year cycle is known as the Saros Cycle. when it reached a temperature of around 1 million degrees. However. causing it to begin nuclear fusion. the gas within a star is constantly rising and falling. It can take an atom millions of years to complete one complete cycle around a convection stream. if any sun spots. but there are areas which are slightly cooler than others. these vast nebulae are the birth places of all stars. The gravitational forces in Sun spots are also stronger than the other hotter areas. On occasion. Over a period of many millions of years. heat. Because heat rises while cooler gases fall. there are very few. Sun spots are still very hot. Convection Heat rises. The core is superheated to millions of degrees. Have you ever noticed that your basement is always much cooler than upstairs. the baby Sun became hotter and hotter. At times. its core ignited. they appear slightly darker in color. Eventually. the Sun began producing its own light. they begin to rise towards the surface. The result is that they create another type of fuel known as helium. This creates massive streams of circular motion within the star. Solar Flares During periods of high solar activity. Indeed. As they do so. it generated a tremendous amount of heat and pressure. Of course. When this happened. What is Thermonuclear Fusion? Thermonuclear fusion is the process in which a star produce its light. and energy. the temperature on the surface of the Sun is around 10. an ever growing body of mass was forming. Through this thermonuclear process. Eventually they become cool enough that they begin to sink back down towards the core. This is called convection. The Sun is far too hot for an astronaut to ever visit.000 degrees Fahrenheit. These areas are known as sun spots. these more powerful flares can even cause satellites orbiting the Earth to malfunction. At other times there are far more. The same laws of physics apply within stars. they cool somewhat. As the gases near the core of the Sun are heated. However. because stars are not on fire. Astronomers have to use special telescopes with filters and other instruments to be able to see the cooler spots on the surface of the Sun. This happens at the core of the star. They can also . because they are slightly cooler than the rest of the surface of the Sun. At the center. which is much cooler than its superheated core. this gas and dust began to fall into a common center under the force of its own gravity. Sun Spots We don't often think of the Sun as having cooler areas on its surface. while cooler gas falls. Some solar flares can be truly massive.The Sun was born in a vast cloud of gas and dust around 5 billion years ago. As a result of this process. These ejections are known as solar flares. heat. They generally increase in intensity and then decrease over a period of 11 years. the Sun commonly releases massive amounts of gas and plasma into its atmosphere. As the matter fell inward. This heat travels towards the surface and radiates out into the universe. Sun spots come and go on a regular basis. As it grew. you cannot look directly at the Sun to see these spots because you would damage your eyes. stars "burn" a fuel known as hydrogen. and energy. and contain impressive power. stars do not burn in the same way that a fire does. This means that all the planets.926 miles. or pieces of atoms. Eventually this wind reaches out beyond the Solar System and begins to mix with the winds from other stars. Do you know Light from the Sun can reach the Earth in only 8 minutes! This is called the speed of light.901 miles. Solar Winds As the Sun burns hydrogen at its core. The bubble around the Sun where the solar winds are still strong enough to blow outward is known as the heliosphere (note the Greek name Helios). atmosphere and many other factors are just right to keep us alive. About 30% of the Earth's surface is covered with land. A terrestrial planet is a dense planet found in the inner Solar System. Its name is Luna. Because the Sun is so large compared to everything else. streams and all other land formations.interact with Earth's magnetic field to create impressive and beautiful light shows known as the Northern and Southern lights. known as the solar wind. The Sun is nearly 93 million miles (approx 145 million km) from Earth. asteroids. and dust would all combine to make up only 2% of all the matter in the Solar System. it releases vast amounts of atomic particles. The Earth's temperature. weather. it is easily able to hold on to the rest of the matter. gas. In the northern hemisphere. Earth was the mother of the mountains. There are currently almost 7 billion people living on the Earth. The area of space where the winds are too weak to continue pushing outward and instead begin to mix with the winds of other stars is known as the interstellar medium. these lights are commonly known as the Aurora Borealis. The Sun is so large that the Earth could easily fit inside the Sun a million times. Moons: The Earth has one moon. . The diameter of Earth is 7. The circumference measured around the equator is 24. Even as you read this. her Greek name was Gaea. Often. into outer space. comets. She was married to Uranus How Big is the Earth? The Earth is the biggest of all the terrestrial planets. causing everything else to orbit around it. moons. while about 70% is covered by oceans. These atomic particles along with the Sun's radiation create a sort of wind. The Sun's Family The Sun is by far the largest object in the Solar System. Earth means: In astronomy mythology. there are atomic particles which are traveling from the Sun towards you. valleys. This wind blows particles outward in all directions from the Sun. The Planet Our planet is an oasis of life in an otherwise desolate universe. minor planets. 98% of all matter within the Solar System is found within the Sun. particles pass right through your body without you ever realizing it.

Question: Why do some liquid burn while others do not? Answer: A liquid burns if its molecules can combine with oxygen in the air with the production of heat. a poor conductor of heat. rubber or steel? Answer: Steel is more elastic for the same stress produced compared with rubber. Question: Why does a ball bounce upon falling? Answer: When a ball falls. the boiled point of water gets raised which helps in cooking the dal sooner. As mirrors have a shiny surface. Because of elasticity.the water begins to rise in the capillaries and air present there is expelled in the form of bubbles. 15. Question: Why is cooking quicker in a pressure cooker? Answer: As the pressure inside the cooker increases. keeps the liquid hot or cold inside a flask for a long time. between the double glass wall of a thermos flask. Hence. The energy for spraying is directly proportional to surface tension. 10. the pressure and density of air goes on decreasing. Question: Why is the sky blue? Answer: Violet and blue light have short waves which are scattered more than red light waves. 11. Thus. hence the weight of a person on the surface of the moon will be one-sixth of his actual weight on earth. 3. Question: On the moon. While red light goes almost straight through the atmosphere. blue and violet light are scattered by particles in the atmosphere. Question: Which is more elastic. the ball tends to regain its original shape for which it presses the ground and bounces up (Newton's Third Law of Motion). Question: Why can we see ourselves in a mirror? Answer: We see objects when light rays from them reach our eyes. oil burns but water does not. particularly in the upper deck of buses? Answer: On tilting the centre of gravity of the boat or bus is lowered and it is likely to overturn. willthe weightof a man be less or more than his weight on the earth? Answer: The gravity of the moon is one-sixth that of the earth. Question: Why does a liquid remain hot or cold for a long time inside a thermos flask? Answer: The presence of air. we see a blue sky. the light rays are reflected back to us and enter our eyes. it is temporarily deformed. 5 Question: Why is standing in boats or double decker buses not allowed. 13. the boiling point of water is . A Partially filled pen leaks when taken to a higher altitude because the pressure of air acting on the ink inside the tube of the pen is greater than the pressure of the air outside. 7. 16. 12. 6. 9. Question: Why Does ink leak out of partially filled pen when taken to a higheraltitude? Answer: As we go up. Question: Why does a solid chunk of ironsinkin water but float in mercury? Answer: Because the density of iron is more than that of water bus less than that of mercury. 14. 8. Question: Why is it the boiling point of sea water more than that of pure water? Answer: Sea water contains salt. and other impurities which cause an elevation in its boiling point. Question: Why is it recommended to add salt to water while boiling dal? Answer: By addition of salt. Question: Why is it easier to spray water to which soap is added? Answer: Addition of soap decreases the surface tension of water. Question: Ice wrapped in a blanket or saw dust does not melt quickly. The quantity of heat supplied is being utilized as latent heat of evaporation to convert the water at boiling point into vapour.raised. Once water starts boiling at this temperature. ice is heavier than alcohol and therefore it sinks in alcohol. 26. Question: Why is it easier to roll a barrel than to pull it? Answer: Because the rolling force of friction is less than the dynamic force of sliding friction. Question: Why is a small gap left at the joint between two rails? . body heat is taken away. During the process of evaporation of sweat. making a cracking sound. Question: Why do stars twinkle? Answer: The light from a star reaches us after refraction as it passes through various layers of air. Question: When a man fires a gun. Why? Answer: As the bullet leaves the nozzle of the gun?S barrel with momentum in a forward direction. Question: When wood burns it crackles. a wooden ball and a steel ball fall simultaneously in a vacuum. These gases and tar vapors escape. On freezing it expands. Question: Why do we perspire on a hot day? Answer: When the body temperature rises. the atmosphere gets saturated with water vapors. 17. However. 25. it is made to flicker by the hot and cold ripples of air and it appears as if the stars are twinkling. Question: Why do we perspire before rains? Answer: Before the rain falls. 29. Explain? Answer: Wood contains a complex mixture of gases and tar forming vapors trapped under its surface. Question: If a feather. 19. 27. the ejection imparts to the gun as equal momentum in a backward direction. which one of these would fall faster? Answer: All will fall at the same speed in vacuum because there will be no air resistance and the earth?S gravity will exert a similar gravitational pull on all. 20. as a result. They do not permit heat rays to reach the ice easily. Question: Why does a corked bottle filled with water burst if left out on a frosty night? Answer: Because of low temperature the water inside the bottle freezes. the process of evaporation of sweat is delayed. Question: Why does ice float on water butsinkin alcohol? Answer: Because ice is lighter than water it floats on it. Question: Why do we bring our hands close to the mouth while shouting across to someone far away? : By keeping hands close to mouth the sound is not allowed to spread (Phenomenon of diffraction of sound) in all direction. Why? Answer: Both wood and wool are bad conductors of heat. hence. 18. thermometer records no change in temperature. When the light passes through the earth?S atmosphere. 24. thereby its volume increases and pressure is exerted on the walls. Question: Why does athermometerkept in boiling water show no change in reading after 1000C? Answer: The boiling point of water is 1000C. the cooking process is quicker. 21. as per Newton's Third Law of Motion. he is pushed back slightly. but is directed to a particular direction and becomes louder. thus giving a sense of coolness. 28. 23. It is nature's way to keep the body cool. the sweat glands are stimulated to secrete perspiration. 22. Question: Why cannot a copper wire be used to make elements inelectric heater? Answer: Copper melts at 108. 32. When he jumps out.Answer: To permit expansion of rails due to heat generated by friction of a moving train. which causes the drop to take a round shape as for a given mass he sphere has minimum volume. the inner layer of the tumbler gets heated. Question: Why is water from a hand pump warm in winter and cold in summer? Answer: In winter. 40. Question: Why does an electric bulb explode when it is broken? Answer: The bulb encompasses partial vacuum and as it breaks. 38. and therefore. which is little above the real position. the outside temperature is lower than that of water flowing out of the pump. Question: Why does smoke curl up in the air? Answer: Smoke contains hot gases which being lighter in weight. air rushes in causing a small explosion. Question: Why is a rainbow seen after a shower? Answer: After a shower. it feels cold. 37. Hence. we can identify direction. 35.30C and forms a black powder on reacting with atmospheric oxygen. his feet comes to rest while touching the ground but his upper portion which is still in motion propels him forward. it expands before the outer layer and an unequal expansion of both layers causes the tumbler to crack. which is essential to attain equilibrium or stability. the outside temperature is higher than the water of the pump. 36. Question: Why is a compass used as an indicator of direction? Answer: The magnetic needles of a compass under the influence f the earth?S magnetic field lie in a north-south direction. Question: Why are water or mercury droplets always round when dropped on a clean glass? Answer: The surface of a liquid is the seat of a special force as a result of which molecules on the surface are bound together to form something like a stretched membrane. Question: Why does a swimming pool appear less deep than is actually is? Answer: The rays of light coming from the bottom of the pool pass from a denser medium (water) to a rarer medium (air) and are refracted (bend away from the normal).31. Whereas in summer. Question: Why does a man fall forward when he jumps out of a running train or bus? Answer: He is in motion while in the train or bus. follows a curved path because of the eddy currents that are set up in the air. they form an image of the bottom of the pool at a point. 34. 30. 39. For heater elements a metal should have more resistance to produce heat. When the rays return to the surface. They tend to compress the molecules below to the smallest possible volume. Question: Why does a balloon filled with hydrogen rise in the air? Answer: Weight of hydrogen is less than the weight of air displaced by it. In balloons hydrogen is normally filled because it is lighter than air. and therefore. the water is warm. . Question: Why do we lean forward while climbing a hill? Answer: In order to keeps the vertical line passing through our centre of gravity always between our feet. the clouds containing water droplets act like a prism through which the white light is dispersed producing a spectrum. Question: Why does an ordinary glass tumbler crack when very hot tea or milk is poured in it? Answer: When a hot liquid is poured into a tumbler. 33. leaving the surface cool. heat is taken away in the process. Question: Why is a metal tyre heated before it is fixed on wooden wheels? Answer: On heating.42. This makes fixing the wheel easier and therefore cooling down shrinks it. Question: Why are winter nights and summer nights warmer during cloudy weather than when the sky is clear? Answer: Clouds being bad conductors of heat do not permit radiation of heat from land to escape into the sky. water vapor contained in the breath condenses into small droplets. 51. 52. 55. 49. Question: Why does ice float on water? Answer: The weight of the ice block is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the immersed portion of the ice. hence the up thrust is more than that of river water. Question: Why is it less difficult to cook rice or potatoes at higher altitudes? Answer: Atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes is low and boils water below 100C. which act like capillaries. 54. The boiling point of water is directly proportional to the pressure on its surface. Question: Why does blotting paper absorb ink? Answer: Blotting paper has fine pores. As this heat remains in the atmosphere. 44. whereas water displaced by the immersed portion of a ship is equal to its weight (Archimedes? Principle). When a portion of blotting paper is brought in contact with ink. 43. 48. and so that of oxygen. the metal tyre expands by which its circumference also increases. 50. Question: Why does moisture gather outside a tumbler containing cold water? Answer: The water vapour in the air condenses on cooling and appears as droplets of water. For the same reason cream rises in milk and floats at the top. Question: Why does kerosene float on water? Answer: Because the density of kerosene is less than that of water. 45. thus fixing the tyre tightly. ink enters the pores due to surface tension (capillary action f liquids) and is absorbed. Question: Why doesn?T the electric filament in an electric bulb burn up? Answer: Firstly. Question: Why is the water in an open pond cool even on a hot summer day? Answer: As the water evaporates from the open surface of a pond. the cloudy nights are warmer. Question: Why is it easier to swim in the sea than in a river? Answer: The density of sea water is higher. which become visible but in summer they are quickly evaporated and not seen. Secondly. because is made of tungsten which has a very high melting point (34100C) whereas the temperature of the filament required to glow is only 2700oc. Question: Why is one?S breath visible in winter but not in summer? Answer: In winter. Question: Why does a small iron sink in water but a large ship float? Answer: The weight of water displaced by an iron ball is less than its own weight. Question: Why is it difficult to breathe at higher altitudes? Answer: Because of low air pressure at higher altitudes the quantity of air is less. 47. Question: Who will possibly learn swimming faster-a fat person or a thin person? . 53. oxygen is absent since the bulb is filled with an inert gas which does not help in burning. 46. 57. This allows the cool air to come in the room to take its place. the existing temperature is so high that the water poured on the fire evaporates even before it can extinguish the fire. Question: Why does oil rise on a cloth tape of an oil lamp? Answer: The pores in the cloth tape suck oil due to the capillary action of oil. Question: Why are air coolers less effective during the rainy season? : During the rainy reason. which is heavier than petrol. However. 62. thereby resulting in the sinking of the needle. 59. when oil is sprinkled. it reaches the earth before the sound of thunder. in a soap solution the needle sinks. grass gives out water constantly (transpiration) which appears in the form of dew because the air near grass is saturated with water vapour and slows evaporation. the atmosphere air is saturated with moisture. However. Therefore. 60. water evaporating from the wet cloth produces a cooling effect and brings the temperature down. the surface tension of water reduces. 56. Question: Why does grass gather more dew in nights than metallic objects such as stones? Answer: Grass being a good radiator enables water vapour in the air to condense on it. Question: To prevent multiplication of mosquitoes. it is recommended to sprinkle oil in the ponds with stagnant water. Moreover. . 66. 58. Why? Answer: The surface tension of clean water being higher than that of a soap solution.61. 63. The latter is true if a small quantity of water is poured. Question: Why cannot a petrol fire be extinguished by water? Answer: Water. Dew is formed on objects which are good radiations and bad conductors. Question: Why do we place a wet cloth on the forehead of a patient suffering from high temperature? Answer: Because of body?S temperature. Here evaporation of water takes place thereby producing a cooling effect. the surface tension is lowered resulting in drowning and death of the larvae. Question: How does ink get filled in a fountain pen? Answer: When the rubber tube of a fountain pen immersed in ink is pressed. it cans support the weight of a needle due to its surface tension. Question: Why are ventilators in a room always made near the roof? Answer: The hot air being lighter in weight tends to rise above and escape from the ventilators at the top. the process of evaporation of water from the moist pads of the cooler slows down thereby not cooling the air blown out from the cooler. Besides. 65. slips down permitting the petrol to rise to the surface and continue to burn. the blotting paper sinks after a few minutes but the needle floats. By addition of soap. Question: When a needle is placed on a small piece of blotting paper which is place on the surface of clean water. Question: Why does water remain cold in an earthen pot? Answer: There are pores in an earthen pot which allow water to percolate to the outer surface.Answer: The fat person displaces more water which will help him float much more freely compared to a thin person. Why? Answer: Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water. the air inside the tube comes out and when the pressure is released the ink rushes in to fill the air space in the tube. The larvae of mosquitoes keep floating on the surface of water due to surface tension. 64. Question: Why is a flash of lightening seen before thunder? Answer: Because light travels faster than sound. Question: Why does the mass of an iron increase on rusting? Answer: Because rust is hydrated ferric oxide which adds to the mass of the iron rod. whereas dark or black clothes are good absorbers of heat. soap does not lather with hard water. The process of rusting involves addition of hydrogen and oxygen elements to iron. white clothes are more comfortable because they do not absorb heat from the sun rays. Question: Why does milk curdle? Answer: Lactose (milk sugar) content of milk undergoes fermentation and changes into lactic acid which on reacting with milk protein (casein) form curd. grass absorbs all colors except green which is reflected t us. Question: Why is it dangerous to have charcoal fire burning in a closed room? Answer: When charcoal burns it produces carbon monoxide which is suffocating and can cause death. Question: Water pipes often burst at hill stations on cold frosty nights. Question: Why does a rose appear red grass green in daylight? Answer: Rose absorbs all the constituent colors of white light except red which is reflected to us. Why? Answer: Because carbon dioxide does not help in burning. 79. 70. 75. 74. 71. they burst. Question: How do bats fly in dark? Answer: When bats fly they produce ultrasonic sound waves which are reflected back to them from the obstacles in their way and hence they can fly without difficulty. Therefore. For burning. This exerts great force on the pipes and as a result. Question: Why are white clothes more comfortable in summer than dark or black ones? Answer: White clothes are good reflectors and bad absorbers of heat. Therefore. Similarly. Question: Why is it dangerous to sleep under trees at night? Answer: Plants respire at night and give out carbon dioxide which reduces the oxygen content of air required for breathing. 76. Question: If a lighted paper is introduced in a jar of carbon dioxide. Question: Why is a new quilt warmer than an old one? Answer: In a new quilt the cotton is not compressed and as such it encloses more air which is bad conductor of heat. its flame extinguishes. 78. Therefore. Question: Why does hard water not lather soap profusely? Answer: Hard water contains sulphates and chlorides of magnesium and calcium which forms an insoluble compound with soap. 72. it does not allow heat to pass. resulting in an increase in volume. Why? Answer: The temperature may fall below 00C during cold frosty nights which converts the water inside the pipes into ice. 69. the upthurst produced by the sea water on the ship is more . Why? Answer: Because a fast moving train or vehicle leans inwards while taking turn and the banked or raised track provides required centripetal force to enable it to move round the curve. Question: Curved rail tracks or curved roads are banked or raised on one side.67. oxygen is required. 73. 68. Question: Why does a ship rise as it enters the sea from a river? Answer: The density of sea water is high due to impurities and salts compared to river water as a result. . 13. "Lightning!" then hats off to you.8 Celsius) on Sept. geologists say. 83. 1922 -. The blue light falling on grass will be absorbed by it. And the coldest place around here? Far and away. 1983. it bursts. growing about 1 millimeter every million years. By breaking the circuit it saves electric equipment or installations from damage by excessive flow of current. Question: Why are fuse provided in electric installations? Answer: A safety fuse is made of a wire of metal having a very low melting point. is easier to lift objects. 1. True enough on many days. and I'm thankful for that. we hear it as thunder. Question: Why is it easier to lift a heavy object under water than in air? Answer: Because when a body is immersed in water. Rocks called iron-manganese crusts grow on mountains under the sea. Antarctica. which compresses the air and forms a shock wave. The crusts precipitate material slowly from seawater. In Death Valley. 3. Some of it can float. What makes thunder? If you thought. 2. the violent separation of gas from lava produces a "frothy" rock called pumice. This sudden heating causes the air to expand faster than the speed of sound. it got up to 134 Fahrenheit on July 10. and hence. on July 21. But El Azizia in Libya recorded a temperature of 136 degrees Fahrenheit (57. 82. 4. and hence. the coldest temperature ever measured on Earth was -129 Fahrenheit (-89 Celsius) at Vostok. loaded with gas bubbles. Can rocks float? In a volcanic eruption. the wire gets heated.than that of river water.the hottest ever measured. Question: Why do two eyes give better vision than one? Answer: Because two eyes do not form exactly similar images and he fusion of these two dissimilar images in the brain gives three dimensions of the stereoscopic vision. But I had a more illuminating answer in mind. 80. Your fingernails grow . 81. melts and breaks the circuit. Question: What will be the color of green in blue light? Answer: Grass will appear dark in color because it absorbs all other colors of the light except its own green color. 84. it may result in bursting of the tyre. When excess current flows in. but observing the process is less interesting than watching paint dry. Question: If a highly pumped up bicycle tyre is left in the hot sunlight. 5. 1913. Can rocks grow? Yes. The air around a lightning bolt is superheated to about five times the temperature of the Sun. What is the hottest place on Earth? Count one wrong if you guessed Death Valley in California. Why? Answer: The air inside the tube increases in volume when heated up. As sufficient space for the expansion of the air is not available because the tube is already highly pumped. I've never seen this happen. it will appear dark in color. it experiences an upward thrust (Archimedes? Principle) and loses weight equal to the weight of the water displaced by its immersed potion. compared to 365 days for Earth. it's nearly twice as long. making the Sun appear to rise in the morning and sending it down in the evening.000 tons of material enters the atmosphere every year and makes its way to Earths surface.100 meters).] 13. If you find one.000 million grams. where it's caught up in the trade winds and carried across the sea. it is growing. How much space dust falls to Earth each year? Estimates vary. it bulges at the midsection.S. A day on any planet in our solar system is determined by how long it takes the world to spin once on its axis. but the USGS says at least 1. 7. a recent study showed. if you're from Mars. How long is the average Martian day? A Martian can sleep (or work) and extra half-hour every day compared to you. 11. Accelerated melting of Earth's glaciers is taking the blame for the gain in equatorial girth. and I'm not holding my breath.000 feet (6.about the same amount every two weeks. Environmental Protection Agency. There's been no proof of this. compared to 23 hours. So a 100-pound person on Earth would weigh 38 pounds on Mars. 9. The dust is kicked up by high winds in North Africa and carried as high as 20. and that extraterrestrial organisms are responsible for flu epidemics . Based on NASA's present plans. creating a sort of pumpkin shape. Taking into account Mars' different rotational time (see #13 below) calendars on Mars would be about 670 days long with some leap days needed to keep things square. 6. or roughly 1. 8. it'll be decades before this assumption can be observationally proved. 56 minutes on Earth. Where is the worlds highest waterfall? The water of Angel Falls in Venezuela drops 3. .212 feet (979 meters). How far does regular dust blow in the wind? A 1999 study showed that African dust finds its way to Florida and can help push parts of the state over the prescribed air quality limit for particulate matter set by the U. suddenly. too. Mars days are 24 hours and 37 minutes long. causing Los Angeles to move towards San Francisco. 10. which runs north-south. however. How long is a Martian year? It's a year long. What would a 100-pound person weigh on Mars? The gravity on Mars is 38 percent of that found on Earth at sea level. The red planet takes 687 Earth-days to go around the Sun -. Is Earth a sphere? Because the planet rotates and is more flexible than you might imagine. I'm curious how they worked out the months. [The initial publication of this fact mistakenly said a Mars calendar would have 687 days. Dust from China makes its way to North America. The bulge was lessening for centuries but now. To an earthling. please mail it to me. One group of scientists claims microbes rain down from space. 12. is slipping at a rate of about 2 inches (5 centimeters) per year. given they have two moons. too. What two great American cities are destined to merge? The San Andreas fault. Scientists forecast LA will be a suburb of the City by the Bay in about 15 million years. 9. California? The 1994 Northridge earthquake had a magnitude of 6. China. killing an estimated 830. The Moon is still moving away -.thinner than the skin of an apple. California. had a magnitude of 9.8 and killed 5. and more than $40 billion in damage. the Moon was in a tighter orbit. In a problem repeated elsewhere in the country.600 kilometers) long.000 people were killed. 18.000 injuries and more than $100 billion in economic loss.000 feet (9. Not even a close second is Bad Water in Death Valley. 17. 19. Its height was revised upward by 7 feet based on measurements made in 1999 using the satellite-based Global Positioning System. Its base would almost cover the entire state of Arizona.000 miles (1. 22. which occurred off the coast. Meanwhile. the pumping of natural underground water reservoirs in California is causing the ground to sink up to 4 inches (11 centimeters) per . It struck a region where most people lived in caves carved from soft rock. 20.5 miles or 15. right? Actually parts of it are. Has the Moon always been so close? It used to be much closer! A billion years ago. which sits under the surface of the sea. which is so interesting that I snuck this non-question onto the list. How far is it to the center of the Earth? The distance from the surface of Earth to the center is about 3.14.000 injuries. What is the largest volcano? The Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii holds the title here on Earth. What was the strongest earthquake in recent times? A 1960 Chilean earthquake. Where is the lowest dry point on Earth? The shore of the Dead Sea in the Middle East is about 1. What is the highest mountain? Climbers who brave Mt.7 was responsible for approximately 60 deaths. a day will be 960 hours long! [ Find out why] 21. Earth's rotation is slowing down.6 inches (4 centimeters) a year. at a mere 282 feet below sea level. The mostly solid skin of the planet is only 41 miles (66 kilometers) thick -. taking just 20 days to go around us and make a month. Much of Earth is fluid. An earthquake like that under a major city would challenge the best construction techniques.963 miles (6. The Kobe earthquake of 1995 was magnitude 6.about 1. The dwellings collapsed.300 feet (400 meters) below sea level. It rises more than 50. Good thing California isn't sinking further. 15. 16. But that's all volcanic chump change. Olympus Mons on Mars rises 16 miles (26 kilometers) into the Martian sky. relatively speaking.6 and broke a fault more than 1. Which earthquake was more catastrophic: Kobe. A day on Earth back then was only 18 hours long. lengthening our days.035 feet (nearly 9 kilometers) above sea level. There were some 37. More than 250.530 people. Everest in the Nepal-Tibet section of the Himalayas reach 29.000 people. Japan or Northridge. In the distant future. What was the deadliest known earthquake? The world's deadliest recorded earthquake occurred in 1557 in central China. In 1976 another deadly temblor struck Tangshan.378 kilometers).2 kilometers) above its base. too. What is the longest river? The Nile River in Africa is 4. Earth phases can be seen in recent photographs taken by Mars Global Surveyor and the European Mars Express 31. That's about 10 times more than fairly wet major cities in Europe or the United States. it would stretch from New York City to Los Angeles. Does Earth go through phases. Valles Marineris on Mars extends for about 3.160 miles (6.000 debris flows were triggered during a single night! Property damage was over $66 million. Every year as much as $2 billion in landslide damage occurs in the United States. In fact. 23. 25. too. or more than 40 feet (13 meters). Different materials behave differently. What is the wettest place on Earth? Lloro. even fewer than New York . and a magnitude 8 or greater earthquake on average every 14 years. Colombia averages 523. At that rate. like the Moon? From Mars. scientists found in 1999 that molten material in and around Earth's core moves in vortices. 29.03 inches (0. some 18. fast-moving mud and debris flows. in Chile. it would take a century to fill a coffee cup.695 kilometers) long. slow-moving landslides. In places this vast scar on the Martian surface is 5 miles (8 kilometers) deep. What's the driest place on Earth? A place called Arica. map. But let's compare. . 26. 30. Do things inside Earth flow? You bet. and as the two planets travel around the Sun. Its main branch is 277 miles (446 kilometers) long. the planet's core moves in other strange ways.800 kilometers). Earth is inside the orbit of Mars. What causes a landslide? Intense rainfall over a short period of time can trigger shallow. steady rainfall over a long period of time may trigger deeper. sunlight would strike our home planet from different angles during the year.000 miles (4. swirling pockets whose dynamics are similar to tornadoes and hurricanes. and 25 people died.year in places. Slow. 24.6 inches of rainfall a year. Earth would be seen to go through distinct phases (just as we see Venus change phases). What is the most earthquake-prone state in the United States? Alaska experiences a magnitude 7 earthquake almost every year. Florida and North Dakota get the fewest earthquakes in the states. How fast can mud flow? Debris flows are like mud avalanches that can move at speeds in excess of 100 mph (160 kph). 27. What is the largest canyon? The Grand Canyon is billed as the world's largest canyon system.76 millimeters) of rain per year.S. gets just 0. 28. And as you'll learn later in this list. In a record-breaking storm in the San Francisco area in January 1982. If added it to a U. Water and sewage systems may soon be threatened. How many of Earth's volcanoes are known to have erupted in historic time? About 540 volcanoes on land are known. Which of the Earth's oceans is the largest? The Pacific Ocean covers 64 million square miles (165 million square kilometers).000 feet (2. the Grand Canyon is less than 6.4 miles (3. meanwhile.926 miles (12.craters that can by millions of years old -. which means that when the next asteroid hits the planet. lakes. in terms of both geology and weather. In contrast.711 square miles (510.756 kilometers).000 square kilometers). How much surface area does Earth contain? There are 196. the Snake River dug Hell's Canyon along the Oregon-Idaho border. 33. .100. What is the deepest canyon in the United States? Over the eons.000 feet deep -. Is air mostly oxygen? Earth's atmosphere is actually about 80 percent nitrogen. with tiny amounts of other stuff thrown in. Pluto is rocky. 34.950.a bit more than a mile. the other two inner rocky planets. and modified by earthquakes and landslides. 41. Most of the rest is oxygen. or groundwater and accounts for a mere 1 percent of the Earth's total. Oceans make up about two-thirds of Earth's surface. 37.4 kilometers) deep.425 feet (739 meters). but the results are pretty hard to study. 38. The Moon. It has an average depth of 2. some of the oldest Earth rocks might be awaiting discovery on the Moon. 36. Mercury and Mars. It is more than two times the size of the Atlantic. What percentage of the world's water is in the oceans? About 97 percent. 40. are much smaller. having been blasted there billions of years ago by the very asteroid impacts that rattle both worlds. weathered by wind and rain. No one knows how many undersea volcanoes have erupted through history.104 kilometers) wide. its craters tell a billions-year-long tale of catastrophic collisions. 35. Even more recent events evident on the surface -. Venus is 7. Interestingly. What is the highest waterfall in the United States? Yosemite Falls in California is 2. Why is Earth mostly crater-free compared to the pockmarked Moon? Earth is more active.32. 39. The remaining fresh-water supply exists in the atmosphere. It is more than 8. Some of that is regurgitated by volcanoes. too. but it's comparatively tiny (and some say it is not a planet at all).get overgrown by vegetation. Much of our planet's geologic history was long ago folded back inside. odds are good it will splash down. Is Earth the largest rocky planet in the solar system? Just barely! Earth's diameter at the equator is 7.521 miles (12. is geologically quiet and has almost no weather.9 kilometers). streams. Which two landmasses contain the vast majority of the Earth's fresh water supply? Nearly 70 percent of the Earth's fresh-water supply is locked up in the icecaps of Antarctica and Greenland. 48. Which of the following sources stores the greatest volume of fresh water worldwide: lakes. Property damage in San Francisco was also greater in relative terms due to the destructive fires that destroyed mostly wooden structures of the time. Where do most earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur on Earth? The majority occur along boundaries of the dozen or so major plates that more or less float on the surface of Earth.62 miles) you go down. This is comparable to the entire population of the world at the beginning of the seventeenth century! 47. in which the water typically runs around and through the stone and other material. and more than 3.000 degrees Fahrenheit (3.2. Which earthquake was more destructive in terms of loss of life and relative damage costs. 45. located between southeast Europe and west Asia. But the outer portion of the core appears .8. for example. is around the massive Pacific Plate commonly referred to as the Pacific Ring of Fire.42. temblor? The Anchorage earthquake had a magnitude of 9.000 square miles (1. streams or ground water? Groundwater comprises a 30 times greater volume than all freshwater lakes. 50. What is the largest lake in the world? By size and volume it is the Caspian Sea. the 1906 San Francisco earthquake or the 1964 Anchorage. whereas the San Francisco earthquake was a magnitude 7. It was responsible for 700 deaths versus 114 from the Anchorage earthquake.000 square kilometers). Alaska.295. This difference in magnitude equates to 125 times more energy being released in the 1964 quake and accounts for why the Anchorage earthquake was felt over an area of almost 500. its thought to be at least 7. USGS scientists estimated that volcanoes posed a tangible risk to at least 500 million people. and the United States in descending order of activity. It fuels shaking and baking from Japan to Alaska to South America. Which earthquake was larger. the 1906 San Francisco earthquake or the 1964 Anchorage earthquake? The 1906 San Francisco earthquake tops this category. Groundwater is housed in natural underground aquifers.000 times what's in the world's streams and rivers at any given time. 46.870 Celsius). One of the most active plate boundaries where earthquakes and eruptions are frequent. Japan. How hot are the planet's innards? The temperature of Earth increases about 36 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius) for every kilometer (about 0. How many people worldwide are at risk from volcanoes? As of the year 2000. 44. Is Earth's core solid? The inner portion of the core is thought to be solid. 49. Near the center. 43. What three countries have the greatest number of historically active volcanoes? The top three countries are Indonesia. Does all of Earth spin at the same rate? The solid inner core -. 1934. Are all tsunamis high waves when they strike a coastline? No.000 people. however . Rather. The water can rise higher than anyone along a given shore area has ever seen. Scientists figured this out by studying tides on Mars ( tides on Mars? ).a mass of iron comparable to the size of the Moon -. How much of the Earth's land surface is desert? About one-third. the sea floor rises and falls. which is liquid. What's the deepest place in the ocean? The greatest known depth is 36. pushing all the water above it up and down. New Hampshire.9 miles or 11 kilometers) at the Mariana Trench. 52. 55. rocks either erupted by volcanoes or molten rock that cooled below ground and has subsequently been exposed at the surface. . 58. researchers clocked the wind at 318 mph (513 kph). Immense pressure keeps it solid. This motion produces a wave that travels outward in all directions. Upon nearing the shore. it is forced up and can reach the height of tall buildings. the extra speed caused the inner core to gain a quarter-turn on the planet as a whole. Near the earthquake's epicenter. yes. [Model of an East Coast tsunami ] 56. So the inner core makes a complete revolution with respect to the rest of Earth in about 400 years. How much of the Earth's surface consists of volcanic rock? Scientists estimate that more than three-quarters of Earth's surface is of volcanic origin-that is. An interesting bit of recent evidence shows Mars' core may be similarly squishy. What is the fastest surface wind ever recorded? The fastest "regular" wind that's widely agreed upon was 231 mph (372 kph). so scientists aren't sure of the exact composition. But during a May 1999 tornado in Oklahoma. A study in 1996 showed that over the previous century. We've never been there though.448 kph). most do not result in giant breaking waves. 53. One in 1964 was triggered in Alaska and swamped the small northern California town of Crescent City. Neptune's winds can rage to 900 mph (1. 54. For comparison. A radical Hollywood-like idea was recently put forth to blow a crack in the planet and send a probe down there to learn more.198 feet (6. 51. Between 1980 and 1990. in the Pacific Ocean well south of Japan near the Mariana Islands. A tsunami can be massive but remain relatively low in height in deep water. Asteroids can cause tsunami . How many people have been killed by volcanoes during the last 500 years? At least 300.molten. volcanic activity killed at least 26.spins faster than the outer portion of the iron core. moving train cars several blocks and killing several people there.000. too. Most of Earth's volcanic rocks are found on the sea floor. contrary to many artistic images of tsunamis. most tsunamis come onshore more like very strong and fast tides. Can an earthquake cause a tsunami? If the earthquake originates under the ocean. 57. on April 12. recorded at Mount Washington. but what's been detected so far is locked up as ice.176. What is the origin of the word "volcano"? It derives from Vulcan. others say it's a continent. just a shade younger than the Sun.] 62. Earth or Mars? Mars has two satellites. It's about 20 million years old and contains 20 percent of Earth's fresh liquid water. just 10 million years after the birth of the Sun. Approximately 50-100 new minerals are described each year. 66.000 kilometers) long and rises an average of 18. a stellar event typically put at 4. 68. Recent evidence actually shows that Earth was formed much earlier than previously believed. How old is Earth? Our planet is more than 4.000 square miles (2.6 billion years ago. What is the world's largest desert? The Sahara Desert in northern Africa is more than 23 times the size of southern California's Mojave Desert. How many minerals are known to exist? There are roughly 4. [Several readers have e-mailed to suggest that arid Antarctica technically tops this category. Continents are typically defined as landmasses made of low-density rock that essentially floats on the molten material below. but it's the Moon. Mars.59. 65. 64.5 kilometers) above the seafloor. Some scientists call Greenland an island. 63.000 feet ( 5. true. What is the world's largest island? Greenland covers 840. although only about 200 are of major importance. Phobos and Deimos. How much fresh water is stored in the Earth? More than two million cubic miles of fresh water is stored in the planet. the Roman god of fire. 67.7 kilometers) deep. 61. some researchers put it there. nobody has estimated how much might be there. What is the total water supply of the world? The total water supply of the world is 326 million cubic miles (1 cubic mile of water equals more than 1 trillion gallons). Which planet has more moons. but it's only about one-third the size of Australia. but most lists of deserts don't include it. too. appears to have a lot of water near its surface. What is the world's deepest lake? Lake Baikal in the south central part of Siberia is 5. most of them found fairly recently and leading to the possibility that scientists might one day need to redefine what it means to be a moon.5 billion years old. nearly half of it within a half-mile of the surface.000 miles (48.712 feet (1.000 known minerals. The Earth has only one natural satellite. 60. It . Greenland fits this description.000 square kilometers). Where are most of Earth's volcanoes? The most prominent topographic feature on Earth is the immense volcanic mountain chain that encircles the planet beneath the sea -. The outer planets have lots of Moon.the chain is more than 30. seas could jump 3 feet (1 meter) by 2100. Stuff flew everywhere and a lot of it went into orbit around Earth.volcanic activity. Were Earth and the Moon separated at birth? Not quite. They are born. There are more volcanoes here than on land. there are more than a thousand thunderstorms around the Earth causing some 6. but a recent computer model suggested Hawaii might have been formed in this manner . Much of New Orleans actually sits 11 feet ( 3. The result: More volcanoes and earthquakes in places like California and Japan.000 flashes of lightning. But like all living creatures. but all experts agree that storm tides from a direct hit by a major hurricane would breach the system and swamp much of the city. Scientists know there's a melting trend underway. of course. During any given minute. The Moon gathered itself together out of the largely vaporized remains of the collision. The impactor was destroyed. . rivers have a life span. Can asteroids create islands? Speculation has existed for decades that ancient asteroid impacts might create hot spots of volcanic activity. which means sinking.is called the mid-ocean ridge and is where Earth's plates spread apart as new crust bubbles up -.S.
