Most Interesting Science Facts
Science is a broad concept which encompasses several disciplines, and hence compiling a list of interesting science facts is no easy job. We have compiled a few fun science facts which we think are quite amazing in themselves. Not many people know that the planet Venus is the only planet in the Solar System which rotates in clockwise direction. Similarly, not many people must be aware of the fact that they had 300 bones when they were born, which eventually fused to becomes 206. Given below is a list of 10 most interesting facts about science which you must have never heard before.
1.The tallest mountain in the world is Mount Everest with a height of 8842 meters, whereas the deepest part of the ocean - the Mariana trench has a depth 11,033 meters.
2.The human brain can continue to live without oxygen supply for a period of 4-6 minutes, after which it slowly starts dying.
3.Lake Baikal in Russia has the distinction of being the deepest lake in the world with an average depth of 2,442 ft, and the deepest point at 5,387 ft.
4.When an astronaut returns from the space you can see a difference of up to 2 inches in his height, as the cartilage disks in our spine tend to expand where there is no gravity.
5.The first picture of planet Earth from outer space was taken by the US satellite Explorer 6 in 1959, two year before Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person to see the planet from the outer space.
6.As of today, the hottest temperature on the planet has been recorded in Libya (136 °F in 1922), while the coldest temperature has been recorded in Antarctica (-128.6 °F in 1983).
7.Every single year, millions of earthquakes occur on the planet. However, most of them are too mild for us to sense, so we are not aware of them.
8.Have you ever tried to tickle yourself? It's impossible to do so because even before we think about doing it, our brain gets programmed to feel it.
9.Among all the natural substances found on the planet, the diamonds have the highest melting point.
10.The Earth travels at an enormous speed of 67,000 mph in the space.
