 Myths Of Space

Author : DIYAN CHHEDA

Hello Friends!
Today I am going to present 10 Myths and Misconceptions about space that have been debunked by scientists.

1.) Mercury Is The Closest To The Sun So It Is The Hottest
Distance from the sun actually does not affect the temperature of the planet. Venus, the second planet from the Sun is the hottest planet. Venus has a huge amount of greenhouse gases in its atmosphere so it is hottest.

2.) Black Holes Are Like Vacuums
Black Holes don't suck up everything nearby; instead, they sit pretty dormant. If a star comes very near then they become active.

3.) People Explode In Space
Space is near vacuum so we can't actually explode in space. It is like an extreme version of bends that divers face in the water.

4.) The Sun Is The Only Star That Has Planets
Most Stars in our Milky Way have planets surrounding them. Any planet found outside our solar system is called as an exoplanet.

5.) Sun Is A Ball Of Fire
The sun is actually glowing, not burning. This might seem like an insignificant distinction to the average person, but the heat generated by the sun is actually the result of a nuclear reaction, not a chemical one which is what burning is. While we’re at it.

6.) Sound In Space
Movies rarely get sound right in space. I guess that if you’re spending a fortune on filming an explosion or a dramatic death, you definitely want the audience to hear it. However, space means no atmosphere which means there is nothing for the sound waves to travel through. Again, Kubrick got this one right in 2001. However, this shouldn’t suggest that there is no sound in the universe apart from our planet. If you go someplace else with an atmosphere, then there will be sound, but it will probably be a little weird. On Mars, for example, the sound will be higher in pitch.

Thank You. I hope you liked my blog and please do comment

Those Were The Days ... Author : SHRIYANS CHANDAN MOHAPATRA

  Those Were The Days ... Author : SHRIYANS CHANDAN MOHAPATRA Do you wish you could return to moments from your past? Yes, I wish I could return memories from your past as those were the days. Many people say that growing up is the best part of life. But I disagree. Growing up means a smaller margin for errors, a necessity for seriousness and I just dislike all of those. The only positive about growing up Is total freedom. No one to stop from chasing your dreams except you yourself. But then you need to mature and grow responsible, along with still obeying everyone; that is an expectation that others have of you. Meanwhile when you are a child; a chick whose egg has just cracked, your mistakes are turned into a laughingstock and your naughtiness are converted into a chance to snuggle into your mother’s safe hands. I tell you those were the days. I sometimes feel as if I would give everything I have, even if it means my life to go back in time. Sometimes I feel if only everyone...

The Lonely Old Lady Author : RIYAA JOSHI

  The Lonely Old Lady Author : RIYAA JOSHI "It started a few years ago. I was thirsty for blood. I had developed a taste for human meat and skin. My first victim, Officer Black, was my gardener. One fine day, he came at sharp 6 in the morning, as always, and watered my precious garden generously. At 7, he came in, and requested me to give him a glass of water. I went into the kitchen, alright, but a glass of water wasn't the only thing I took. As Frank the gardener gulped down his glass, my hand rose behind him and a long, sharp knife came into view. I plunged the knife straight through the hem of his shirt and inside his hot and sweaty back as a fountain of blood splashed my pretty pink dress. I couldn't help it, Officer. You see, I am an old lady. I get lonely sitting alone in the small of these four walls. My cannibalism always seems to overwhelm me. My second victim, was old Mrs. Thomas from across the street. Poor lady, I tell you Officer Black. Always cares for me, y...
