Fun Facts…The Sciences Part 2

The only point at which Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature scales read the same is at -40°.

The transition of a solid material into a gas without melting and becoming a liquid in between is called sublimation. 

Liquid nitrogen is -196C (-320°F).

Dry ice, the strange material used to produce a smoke-like special effect on stage and screen is actually made of solid carbon dioxide.

The “triple point” is the point at which a substance can exist in all three basic states of matter: solid, liquid and gas.

The triple point of water is 0°C ( or rather, just above it) (32F) as water can be both ice and liquid at this temperature and, using a vacuum, can be made to boil at its freezing point too.

The burning filament inside a light bulb is made of tungsten.

Tin has the shortest name of all the elements on the periodic table.

The bizarre effect that causes you to feel pulled forward as a large vehicle pulls past you while waiting at a crossing is called the “Bernoulli effect.”

Bible Verse

Think about this. People sell five birds for two small coins. But each little bird is valuable to God. He knows about them all and he takes care of them.God even knows how many hairs there are on your head. So do not be afraid of those people who are against you. You are more valuable to God than many little birds.

The faster you travel; the slower time goes.

50% of the world’s oxygen is produced by the sea.

Lightning strikes produce ozone.

The only two metallic elements that are not silver in color are copper and gold.

Only two chemical elements are liquid at standard room temperature, mercury and bromine. Some others melt and become liquid just above or below room temperature. The metal gallium, for instance, can be melted in a person’s hand.

The Similar Editor:   Could you explain ‘analogy’ for our Democrat readers, LL?

The Simple Cat:   I sure can.   Here is one definition.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/analogy

Consider baseball as America, and the umpires as the media and judges.   The umpire is clearly wrong on the first base call, but nothing is said until the video is viewed.  Everyone knows the umpire made a mistake, but doesn’t want to go against the system.   In short, they push their own beliefs not the law.

Maybe one day incompetent officials will be fired.

Astronomy Picture of the Day

Artemis II: Flight Day 6
Image Credit: NASA, Artemis II

Explanation: On flight day 6 (April 6) the Artemis II mission achieved a historic lunar flyby. Rounding the lunar far side, the deep space maneuver marked humanity’s first venture to the Moon since Apollo 17 in 1972. The Orion spacecraft Integrity reached a maximum distance of nearly 407,000 kilometers, and the Artemis II crew, Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen, set the record for the farthest distance from Earth traveled by any human since the Apollo 13 crew in 1970. From behind the Moon on flight day 6, a solar array wing camera recorded this space age selfie, framing the spacecraft and lunar far side. Planet Earth, home to the Artemis II crew, is the small, bright crescent beyond the lunar limb. The crew safely returned home on Artemis II mission flight day 10.
