Earth
The highest point on Earth is Mount Everest.
The peak is 8848 m above sea level. However, Mount Everest is not the farthest point from the center ...
Aurora
To the naked eye, we see the Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis lights as greenish and white. Full colors can only be seen in the photos.
This is because, in low light, the eye registers light with rods that are not color sensitive but respond only to light.
Silver
Silver compounds are used to silver mirrors and to produce explosives (e.g. silver acetylides).
They are also used in analytical chemistry, e.g. to detect aldehydes (Tollens test).
lava
The temperature of lava, depending on its composition, can range from 700 to 1,200 °C.
Beyond Earth, lava can reach even higher temperatures; the record holder is Io, Jupiter's moon, where satellites have recorded lava flows with an average temperature of 1,300 °C (2,370 °F).
Tears
Tears are made up of three layers.
Oily layer–smoothens the tear’s surface and prevents evaporation of other layers Mucous layer–allow ...
