Some people think the sky in blue because of sunlight reflected off the ocean and back into the sky. But the sky is blue even in the middle of the country side nowhere near the sea! Other's think it's because of the water in our atmosphere . But the sky is blue in the places that are extremely dry like desert. Some say it's because of oxygen is blue coloured gas . Or because sunlight has a blue tint. So there are so many incorrect answers or you can say misconceptions are there-- What's the actual reason? The sky is blue because of the way sunlight interact with our atmosphere. There are 3 simple factors put together :- 1. Sunlight is made out of light of different colours/ wavelengths. 2. The Earth's atmosphere is made out of molecules that scatter different wavelengths light. 3. The sensitivity of our eyes. How these 3 factors all works together? If sunlight passes through a transparent material such as water ,glass th...

Our Earth is the home for billions of species of plants and animals, out of them some species are familiar and some are rare to find out..but some plants and animal species are so strange that we can't believe that these are from same planet. These species look like an  "Alien". So in this article you are going to know about  "The most Alien-like creatures of the sea ever discovered on Earth". "The sea was the cradle of primordial life, from which, the roots of our own existence sprouted. Billions of years of evolutionary development brought forth an enchanting variety of forms, colors, lifestyles, and patterns of behavior. " — Werner Gruter, Writer Let's see some strange species which will leave you awestruck!!! 1. Sea Sapphire :- photo credit : sciencesource.com Sea Sapphire  are copepods - little crustaceous with long antennae that live nearly everywhere water is found. In blue Sea Sapphire , the distance between the cry...

The Greenhouse Effect is a process that occurs when gases in Earth's atmosphere trap the Sun's heat. This process increase the Earth's temperature. The Greenhouse Effect is one of the things that makes Earth a comfortable place to live. Why it is called Greenhouse Effect? Because the Greenhouse Effect works like a Greenhouse. A Greenhouse is a building with glass walls and a glass roof. Greenhouses are used to grow plants , such as tomatoes and tropical flowers. A Greenhouse capture heat from the Sun during the day. It's glass walls trap the Sun's heat, which keeps plants inside the Greenhouse warm - even in cold nights. If it weren't greenhouses gases , Earth would be an extremely cold , deserted planet. Plants couldn't grow and and animals like us wouldn't be able to survive. What are Greenhouse gases? Greenhouses gases are found in Earth's atmosphere. They can trap the solar radiation/ ...

Earth , our home, is the 3rd planet from the Sun . It's the only planet known to have an atmosphere containing free O2 , that is life air , ocean of water on its surface and of course, life . Earth is the 5th largest planet in solar system. About 74% of the Earth's surface is covered by liquid or frozen water , because of this, people call it "Blue Planet" . Because of it's water, Earth is the home to millions of plants and animals species. Early cyanobacteria changed the air and gave it oxygen. The living part of Earth is called "Biosphere". So let's have a look some interesting and mind-blowing facts about the planet Earth which will stunned you!!! 1. Earth is not flat, but it's not perfectly round either. The Earth's rotation creates an outward force that is highest at the equator and zero at the poles. This force results in the Earth being "Squashed" into a slightly flattened sphe...

"Mother Nature is full of Miracles" Who doesn't like the serenity of the Earth? We know that our Mother Nature is most beautiful and weird at the same time. Some wonderful natural phenomenon we have often seen on the Earth like Rainbow, Snowfall, Thunder etc. But some most rare phenomenon also there in nature that you wouldn't believe that they are really exist. So here we take a look some rare natural phenomenon, which will leave you awestruck and stunned. 1. Blue Volcano:- (Kawah, Ijen, Indonesia) The reason behind the Blue Flame is the presence of extremely high sulphuric gases that combust with the O2 in air at temperature above 360 degree Celsius. These Sulphuric gases emerge from cracks in the volcano at high temperature and pressure. 2. Turquoise Ice :- (Lake, Baikal, Russia) It is oldest and deepest lake in the world. It is also the world's largest fresh water lake , accounting for about 20...
