Saturn Facts

Planet: Saturn

1: - Saturn's rings are only a few hundred million years old.

2: - The Spitzer infrared telescope recently discovered another ring around Saturn.

3: - The rings of Saturn are formed by bright particles of water ice.

4: - But, the new Saturn ring is composed of dark dust particles, not water ice, and extends from 8,000,000 miles to 12,000,000 miles from the center.

5: - The planet Saturn has a lower density than water. Then, if placed in water it would float.

6: - The moon Titan of Saturn has hundreds of times more oil and natural gas than all known reserves on Earth.

7: - Saturn is not only the planet with rings, Neptune also has its own ring system.

The average temperature of the planets

Within the Solar System, the average temperature on: • Pluto is around -235°C, • Neptune around -220°C, • Uranus -210°C, • Saturn -184°C, • Jupiter -153°C. • The temperature on Mars varies between about -87°C and -5°C, with an average of around -46°C. • The lowest natural temperature on Earth (recorded at Vostok, Antarctica in 1983) is -89°C; the highest surface temperature on Earth (recorded at Al 'Aziziyah, Libya in 1922) is 58°C; the mean overall temperature on Earth is 14°C. Planet Biography. Planets Surface Temperatures. Why temperatures differs from planets to planets? In general, the surface temperature decreases as the distance from the sun increases. Venus is an exception because its dense atmosphere acts as a greenhouse and heats the surface above the lead's melting point of 880 ° F (471 ° C).

Facts About Sun

Sun 1: - The Sun was approximately 10 times brighter than it is today, after forming from its interstellar gas cloud. 2: - The Sun produces so much energy, that every second the nucleus releases the equivalent of 100 billion nuclear bombs. 3: - The strongest color light emitted by the sun is green, but we see the combination of all the colors of the sun as white light. 4: - The average temperature on the surface of the Sun is 6,000 ° C. The brown dwarf star CFBDSIR 1458 10b is not hotter than a cup of coffee. 5: - The center of the Sun is about 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million ° C). 6: - Our Sun can be gigantic but it still loses 360 million tons of materials every day. 7: - Every second, the Sun pumps more than one million tons of materials into space through the solar wind (electrically charged particles). 8: - The Sun takes about 220 million years to make a revolution of the Milky Way. 9: - If the Sun became a Black Hole, it would ...

Learn Correct Sequence of planets

If you are having problems remembering the planets in their correct order, just remember this sentence:-  " My very educated mother just served us nine pickles ," Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto (now a 'dwarf-planet', not a planet anymore).

DISTANCES BETWEEN PLANETS

SOMETIMES THE DISTANCES WILL BE CLOSER AND OTHER TIMES THEY WILL BE FARTHER AWAY. Credit: Google The reason for this is that the planets have elliptical orbits and none of them are perfect circles. As an example, the distance between the planet Mercury and the Earth can vary from 77 million kilometers at the nearest point, to 222 million kilometers at the furthest point. There are a lot of differences in the distances between the planets depending on their position in their orbital path. The following table shows the eight planets and the average distance between them. The AU column is the distance in astronomical units. 1 AU is the distance from the Sun to Earth, which is 149,600,000 km .

Tips To Prevent Bad Breath

Bad breath or halitosis is usually due to the breakdown of proteins by bacteria somewhere in the mouth. However, there are several other possible causes in the airways, oesophagus and stomach that can also lead to bad breath. If you do not brush and floss daily, particles of food remain in the mouth, collecting bacteria, which can cause bad breath.   • Always maintain a high level of oral and dental hygiene. • In addition to brushing, it is important to clean between the teeth using dental floss. • Use a tongue cleaner and clean right to the back of the tongue. • Drink plenty of fluids and avoid too much caffeinated products like coffee. • Eat fresh fibrous vegetables.Use a mouthwash recommended by your dentist or pharmacist. • The best time to use it is just before sleeping. • A fluoride mouth rinse, used along with brushing and flossing, can help prevent tooth decay. • Clean your mouth after having milk products, fish and...

Why Are Planets Round?

Our Solar System. Big, small but round. But, why all the planets and stars are round?  The eight planets in our solar system differ in many ways. They are of different sizes. They are different distances from the sun. Some are small and rocky, and others are large and gaseous. But all are nice and round. Why is that? Why don't they have cubes, pyramids or discs? Planets are round because of a process known as "spherical shape formation". This process is caused by the forces of gravity and centrifugal force. Gravity is the force that pulls all objects towards the center of mass. The stronger the gravity, the more compact an object will be. As a planet forms, the gravity of all the matter within it causes it to pull together and become denser. This results in the planet becoming more and more spherical in shape. Additionally, as a planet spins on its axis, the centrifugal force caused by this rotation also contributes to the spherical shape. ...

10 Health Myths You Still Think Are True

The basic difference between fact   and myth is the ability to gather scientific evidence to support a fact. For instance, we say smoking causes lung cancer. Until the medical science community was able to document and scientifically prove, beyond a doubt, that smoking cigarettes directly contributes to lung cancer, it was considered a myth.

Silt

Silt is granular material of a size somewhere between sand and clay, whose mineral origin is quartz and feldspar. Silt may occur as a soil or as sediment mixed in suspension with water (also known as a suspended load) in a body of water such as a river. It may also exist as soil deposited at the bottom of a water body. Silt has a moderate specific area with a typically non-sticky, plastic feel. Silt usually has a floury feel when dry, and a slippery feel when wet. Silt can be visually observed with a hand lens. Sources:- Silt is created by a variety of physical processes capable of splitting the generally sand-sized quartz crystals of primary rocks by exploiting deficiencies in their lattice. These involve chemical weathering of rock and regolith, and a number of physical weathering processes such as frost shattering and haloclasty. The main process is abrasion through transport, including fluvial comminution, aeolian attrition and glacial grinding. It is in semi-arid envir...
