10 Facts About Rain

     Rain is a natural event that gives a lot of stories and inspiration either laughter or tears. Rain can make the atmosphere more romantic for lovers. Rain also often cause outrage to grief when disasters such as flooding were followed.

     However the rain is a symbol of the balance of nature and evidence of how great things on this earth has been designed by the Creator. Here are 10 facts about the rain.

1. Rain drops falling at an average speed of 8 to 10 km/h. However, depending on wind speeds and conditions in a particular region, can reach up to 35 km/h.
2. Rain initially falling as ice or crystal until it becomes water droplets.
3. The diameter of each drop of rain varies between 0.02 inches to about 0.031 inches.
4. The water generally falls to the ground at low speed, it is because the rain has a special form that increases the frictional effect of the atmosphere and helps it fall to earth with a lower speed. Imagine if there is no friction in the atmosphere, could be every drop of rain will pierce the earth at high speed and cause a lot of damage.
5. The minimum altitude of rain clouds is 1.200 meters and can be found up to 10.000 meters in the sky.
6. Every second, about 16 million tons of water evaporates from the surface of the Earth.
7. The amount of 16 million tons of water is equal to the amount of rain that falls back to Earth every second. Water moves continuously in a balanced cycle, so how great balance of nature going on around us.
8. The average rainfall is most common in Cherrapunju, India, ie as much as 26.5 meters (87 feet).
9. While the area is almost time of the year rain is Mt. Waialeale in Kauai, Hawaii. In this place for 350 days per year is always wet with rain.

Honey Bees Making Process

     Anyone know of honey produced by bees by changing the nectar obtained from flowers and then collected in the nest and into honey. So, how the process of nectar to be honey?

     In the nation of bees, as well as other insect colonies, have each task. Most of the so-called group of worker bees each day to lift the nectar is collected.

     The worker bees have a pouch in the body can store nectar. The bag has a capacity to accommodate the nectar produced between 150 to 1500 flowers. As a symbol of mutualism, the bee gives a bonus to the interest taken in the delivering nectar pollen that helps the process of fertilization of flowers.

     Well, after a carrier bag full of nectar, bees return to the hive. In the nest is waiting for some other bee assigned to await the return of the worker bees. This group is called the bees home, his job receives nectar is then processed in the mouth and stomach. In the mouth and stomach bee home that there are certain enzymes. Enzymes that function to break down sugar in the form of nectar in the form of disaccharides into monosaccharides, so that the shape becomes more simple.

     Results of processing the nectar is then placed by the bees in the hive. At first, the nectar has a water content of 70 to 80 percent, so the shape is very liquid. But, after going through some processes, the moisture content down so that only reached 18 percent. As a result, its form becomes thick.

     Moisture reduction is due to the enzyme treatment process and also the temperature of the honeycomb which is generally enough to make the water evaporate. Finally, nectar sugar forms simplified and condensed its form is what we know as honey.

Sightings Heart Shape on Pluto

     Recently, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), in a planetary exploration mission managed to take pictures of Pluto from a short distance. There is something unique about the image of the planet, successfully obtained this time.

     On the surface of planets discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930, it seems an area that resembles a "heart shape".

     Heart shape was touted as a bright area of ​​1,200 square miles - visible on the bottom right side of the planet.

Heart-shaped area on Pluto

     Pluto which usually can be seen as a point of light, then we can see the picture as a 'close-up - closer - like today after the efforts of NASA for 9 years. 3 billion mile journey to the New Horizon spacecraft.

     Although the discovery of 'heart shape' is already making hearts vibrate because of amazement, the scientists behind the New Horizons said, "The best do not even arise."

     Tuesday, July 21 next week, the spacecraft was scheduled to be approaching the planet Pluto with the closest distance than ever achieved before. Thus, NASA hopes to get a clearer picture of Pluto and much more detailed than the picture they ever took.

     "Next, we will see Pluto from the closest distance, so most of the region to be imaged at a resolution of approximately 500 times better than what we see today," said Jeff Moore, a geologist, geophysicist and a leader of the imaging team at NASA Ames Research Center, in a press release.

Cities at Night: The World Project for Conscientious Light Pollution

     Speaking of pollution, we often just assume pollution pollution of air, water or soil. Actually there is one form of pollution that often we have neglected the light pollution. To follow up on the pollution level, various organizations, including NASA and ESA, join and create a project called "Cities at Night". The project aims to examine the level of light pollution in many cities in the world and examines the impact.

     The project "Cities at Night" involving astronauts and International Space Station (ISS) to take pictures and data on pollution in many cities in the world directly from space. From the data collected to date, there are some facts that quite surprising. The light emitted by a large class of mega cities, it still can be detected up to tens or even hundreds of kilometers from the city area. In addition, the researchers also found that several European countries are heavily indebted large enough turned out to have a high level of light pollution.

     The discovery certainly confirms that light pollution not only affects the environment, but also can be used as one parameter of economic conditions in a country or city. Light pollution also leads astronomers will be more difficult to observe the star because the light emitted by the lamps in the city causing visibility to the sky is getting shorter. If you want to see the data research, you can visit the official website of "Cities at Night".

Scary Video, Tornado Fire in Idaho

     In certain circumstances, a fire can create a  dangerous tornado fire because it can spread the sparks.

     Craig Fluer, a firefighter in the US Forest Service, uploaded the records tornado occurrence of a fire in a fire in Idaho through Instagram.

     He explained that the twister rising until it reaches a height of about 30 meters. He said, "This criminal blew flames up to 30 meters into the air before passing forward, dropping debris and hot ash into our helmets."

     According to a report in National Geographic, the whirlwind of fire (firenado) is actually quite common, but rarely recorded. Tornado is similar to the incidence of 'dust hell', but different from the tornado (tornado) is bigger and powerful due to large rotation patterns that become hurricanes.

     'Dust hell' formed when the hot air near ground level soared rapidly through the low-pressure air bags cooler. When air is inflated, the air bend vertically and cause rotation.

     Warm air that comes from the base of the vortex then soar well thereby strengthening the rotation. In the event of a fire vortex, fire that first heating the air at the surface.

     Back to the events in Idaho, fires there had devoured an area of ​​more than 113 thousand hectares in southwest Idaho and southeast Oregon, and already there are dozens of wild horses that died. Cause of the fire itself has not been clear until now.

     Authorities forestry sector call this fire season as "fire season were beyond expectations", which is exacerbated by high temperatures and dry air.

Wet Soil Smell After Rain

     Do you like the scent of wet earth after rain? If so, you are not alone. In fact, some scientists believe that people inherit their love for the scent of rain from their ancestors who rely on rain for their survival. But what makes the scent of wet earth after rain?

     There are some aromas associated with rainfall pleasant smelling man. One of the smell, which is called "Petrichor", the aroma that comes up when it rains after a prolonged dry spell.

     Petrichor - the term was coined in 1964 by two Australian scientists studying the smell of wet weather. Petrichor derived from the word 'Petros' Greek, which means stone and 'ichor', which means that the liquid flowing in the veins of the gods. It is defined as "a distinctive aroma that accompanies the first rain after a long dry season"

Petrichor comes from a pair of chemical reactions:

     Some plants produce oil during dry periods, and when it rains, this oil is released into the air. The second reaction which creates Petrichor occurs when chemicals called geosmin produced by Streptomyces bacteria that live on the ground, are released into the air. Both of these aromatic compounds combine to create Petrichor, pleasant aroma when the rain hits the ground.

     Bactrian camels can detect water from a distance of 50 miles away. This is because the aroma of Streptomyces easily carried across the desert and camel picked up by a sensitive nose. In return, the spores of the bacteria can be spread around. Musty earth scent of some cactus flowers are also derivatives of geosmin. Make pollinating insects comes with the promise of water. This is known as mimicry interest. Unfortunately, the fish also absorb some of the water geosmin not really feel it.

     Another scent of rain is associated with ozone. During storms, lightning can separate oxygen and nitrogen molecules in the atmosphere, and they in turn can recombine into nitric oxide. This substance interacts with other chemicals in the atmosphere to form ozone, which has a pungent smell fresh.

     When someone says they can smell the rain coming, maybe that wind from the storm has made ozone down from the clouds and into the nostrils of the person.

What Happens If Suddenly the Earth Stopped Spinning ?

     As we all know, the Earth rotates on its axis, so that we experience day and night. Then what would happen if the earth suddenly stopped spinning? Remember, this will not be possible. Earth will only be slowed and slowed and then stopped in a few billion years, so do not worry. And these are the things that will happen if the earth suddenly stopped rotating.

Everything Will Be Launched on Ballistic trails.

     The first thing that needs to be taken into account is the momentum of everything on the earth's surface. We are all pressed by gravity and moving through space at a speed of rotation of 1674.4 km/h (at the equator). We did not feel it, because the momentum. Just as we do not feel as they move along an oncoming car on the highway. But we will feel the effects if the car suddenly stopped, or me-brake suddenly. So, if the earth suddenly stopped spinning, everything on the surface of the Earth's equator will suddenly moving with an initial velocity of 1.600 km/hour to the east. The escape velocity of the Earth is about 40.000 km/h, so the speed of the above is not enough to make us fly into space. But this is obviously going to cause some damage terrible because everything flew a ballistic trajectory to the east. Imagine the ocean water in the equatorial suddenly moving to the east at a rate of 1.600 km/h. The same thing is also experienced by the air that would cause a powerful storm that never happened !

     Earth's rotation speed decreases if we are far from the equator, toward the poles. So if we were further south or further north of the equator, the initial velocity of motion of our current earth suddenly stopped rotating, will be smaller than 1600 km/h. The more we get closer to the poles of the earth, our initial velocity will be smaller, even if we stand right at the north pole or south pole, we would barely feel it.

The day will last for 365 Days.

     The next problem is the day and night will never be the same again. When the Earth rotates on its axis, the Sun back to the same position every 24 hours. But if the Earth stopped spinning, it would take 365 days for the Sun to 'move in the sky' and return to the same position. Not only that, the direction of motion of the sun in the sky is no longer from east to west, but from west to east. Half of the Earth will be roasted light for half a year, while the other hemisphere in darkness. Earth will be very hot on the bright side and a very cold on the dark side. Such an event is obviously going to destroy plants and animals. And at the poles of the earth, only to experience a night for a whole week and then lunch also for a full week, and so on.

Earth will be shaped ball that Almost Perfect.

     This is a glimpse may be a small thing compared to other disasters, but the earth would be almost perfect sphere. When the earth is spinning on its axis, completing one revolution approximately every 24 hours. This causes the rotation speed of the Earth around the equator stand out, changing the shape of our planet into an oblate spheroid (flattened balls). If the earth is not rotating, the Earth's gravity will be able to form an almost perfect sphere. This sounded good and harmless, but actually it creates a big problem. Because the earth bulge in the middle, a sea of ​​stalling on the equator as far as 8 km. If the earth transformed into a ball, the world's oceans will pitch redistributed, inundating many regions of the planet with a large volume of water. We will end up with a single continent around the middle of the planet, the oceans surrounding the north pole and a south pole.

Earth No More Italic.

     The tilt of the earth is determined by how the planet rotates compared to the sun. Tilt the axis of rotation is defined seasons on earth. But if the earth without rotation, the concept does not make sense anymore. There is still a planet's north pole, where the radiation from the Sun is at its lowest angle, and the equator, a place that receives the most direct sun radiation. But there will be no season.

Earth will not be Protected from Radiation Dangerous to Life.

     If the Earth stopped spinning, there will be no magnetic field of the earth, because of the rotation of the earth was rotating molten metal core of the earth and generates a magnetic field. As a result, there will no longer Aurora and the Van Allen radiation belts that protect us from cosmic rays and other high-energy particles, will disappear. Things like this will destroy Life on planet Earth significantly.
