Pluto.

1: - The Sun looks 1600 times weaker from Pluto than from Earth.

6: - Sunlight takes 8 minutes to reach Earth, 12 minutes and 47 seconds to reach Mars, and 5.5 hours to reach Pluto.

The Difference Between Being Intelligent And Being Wise

Intelligent : • wise, cunning, capable of thinking and reason Wisdom: • The state of being wise • Ability to use knowledge and / or experience wisely • Able to determine what is wise against what is unwise • A saying, a philosophy or other advice considered wise In Short: An intelligent man has a whole sea of knowledge and knows every fact. On the other hand, a wise man does not have all the knowledge that an intelligent man has, but he has the brain to know when to use knowledge. I have seen a lot of smart people make really stupid decisions. I was one of those people! The information I had before and after these decisions has not changed. But with every wrong decision, if I was willing to learn, my level of wisdom changed. The main difference is that: A smart or intelligent person knows how to solve any problem. A wise person knows how to avoid this problem. Knowledge makes a person intelligent. Experience makes a person wise.

Build a film Canister rocket

You will need! - One empty 35mm plastic film canister and lid. These are getting harder to find, but stores that develop film should have some.

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).

Electric Flux

Electric field can be quantitatively described by using the concept of electric flux. Electric flux is the number of electric field lines penetrating a surface or passing through a surface. The electric field can be uniform or non-uniform. Let us now try to find the electric flux passing through a surface when the field is uniform.

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...

Why Do People Fail In Life?

Because short term gratification is more appealing than not having a social life for X years. Hence, people end up tricking themselves by picking easy majors and easy goals. What kind of a sadomasochist wants to prioritize when you can just Netflix & chill? If a person hears “no,” he quits. Apply a little pressure or infuse the situation with a struggle and not a clear straight path and the person loses his shit. Not being realistic enough. Most likely, a Ph.D in mathematics at the age of 45 when you can’t grasp arithmetics is not pragmatic. Not having clear goals. I am not a fan of to do lists, but calendar planning works. Also, try to write down a “what I did today” list at the end of the day. If you didn’t do anything, that guilt feeling will kick in. Comparing yourself too much with others. You start to feel envy, to feel inadequate, and to feel ridiculed by your own self because you start to lose rationale. Not having gratitude, not having the ability to be happy wi...
