PLANETS COMPATIBILITY

MERCURY:
  •   It does not have any moons or rings.
  •   We can jump up to 4ft(1.2M).
  •   Your weight on Mercury would be 38% of your weight on earth.
  •   A year on Mercury takes 88 earth days only.
VENUS:
  •   A day on Venus is longer than a year.
  •   Unlike other planets, Venus spins clockwise on its axis. 
  •   We can jump upto 1.7ft(0.6M).
  •   Venus has 90 times the atmospheric pressure of Earth.
EARTH:
  •  Earth is a squashed sphere.
  •   The only planet having plate tectonics that keep the planet comfortable. 
  •   It is mostly iron, oxygen and silicon. The molten iron core creates a magnetic field.
  •   We can jump upto 1.6ft(0.6M).
MARS:
  •   Mars had water in the ancient past and has frozen water today.
  •   It used to have a thicker atmosphere which contains 95% CO2.
  •   Average temperature is about -50°F(-45°C).
  •   We can jump upto 4ft(1.2M).
JUPITER:
  •  It is the fastest spinning planet.
  •   Its magnetic field is 14 times stronger than Earth’s field.
  •   It has rings and 67 moons.
  •   We can jump upto 0.6ft(0.2M).
  •   It has the shortest day of the eight planets and 11.86 earth years .
SATURN:
  •  Saturn is the least dense planet in the solar planet.
  •    It has taken 29.4 earth years to orbit the sun.
  •   The length of the day is a mystery until recently. But approximately it is found that 10hr 32mins 35secs.
  •   Saturn gives off more energy than it receives from the sun and has the fastest winds.
URANUS:
  •  Uranus has rings and 27 moons.
  •   It is the coldest planet in the Solar system. 
  •   The mass of Uranus is about 14.5 times the mass of Earth.
  •   Uranus rotates on its axis once every 17 hrs 14 mins and takes 84 earth days to orbit the sun. 
It is known as “giant ice".

NEPTUNE:
  •  Neptune’s surface gravity is almost like Earth.
  •   It has thin rings and 14 moons.
  •   A year on Neptune lasts 165 earth years.
  •   It is the coldest planet with an average surface temperature of -214°C.
  •   Neptune spins very quickly on its axis and the atmosphere is extremely active.

WHY ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC OCEAN ARE NOT MIXED?

Nearly 72% of the earth is filled with water and it is present with different names- oceans, seas, rivers. Why are they named differently? There are five oceans namely Artic ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Indian ocean and Antarctic ocean . All the oceans are different in their physical and biological character called ocean clines. When we look at the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean junction, they do not mix. Is there any invisible Wall in between them? Many scientists have conducted research to solve this mystery. The Atlantic and Pacific Ocean have different chemical composition. The salinity of the water in the Atlantic Ocean is five times more than the Pacific Ocean. The density of water is also different, so even marine animals in Atlantic Ocean will not go to the Pacific Ocean. They cannot survive in other oceans. Atlantic and Pacific Ocean meet at Cape Horn. The narrow straight line formed by the water bodies is called Drake Strait. The Pacific Ocean is ...

The Chemical Lake

 Spotted Lake or Lake khiluk in Canada is richly concentrated with various minerals. It contains dense deposits of magnesium sulfate, calcium, and sodium sulfates. It also contains high concentrations of eight other minerals and lower amounts of silver and titanium. Most of the water in the lake evaporates over the summer, revealing colorful mineral deposits. Large ‘spots’ on the lake appear and are colored according to the mineral composition and seasonal amount of precipitation. Magnesium sulfate, which crystallizes in the summer, is a major contributor to spot color.  Originally known to the First Nations of the Okanagan Valley (Native American Tribe) as Khiluk, Spotted Lake was for centuries and remains revered as a sacred site thought to provide therapeutic waters. It is the most mineralized lake in the world. Each spot holds a different cure due to the unique chemical content found within each puddle. Lake Khiluk is considered a saline endorheic alkali lake. The Okanag...

Why is the Pacific Ocean shrinking and the Atlantic Ocean is getting wider?

Twenty million years ago there was no Atlantic Ocean. But then, thanks to plate tectonics, the South American and North American continents were separated by a rift valley that eventually turned into the Atlantic Ocean. The complementary shapes of the South American and African continents have long been noticed, but it wasn't until the 1960s that the theory of plate tectonics became accepted as the explanation. These days, the Atlantic Ocean is growing at a rate of five centimetres per year, as new sea floor is created by volcanic activity along its mid-ocean ridge.        On the other hand, the much older Pacific Ocean is currently estimated to be shrinking by two to three centimetres each year. Again, this comes down to plate tectonics because the Pacific Ocean has subduction zones on three sides - where the Pacific plate submerges beneath other plates.  Since there are very few subduction zones in the Atlantic, Indian and Arctic oceans...
