Sound of the Sun

Sound of the Sun

The Sun produces sound in the form of pressure waves from huge gas pockets rising from within. 

These waves travel at hundreds of thousands of miles per hour, breaking through the solar surface. 

The Sun’s atmosphere is akin to boiling water, and the wavelength of these waves is hundreds of miles, beyond human hearing.

Calories requirement of brain

 Calories requirement of brain       

Your brain consumes 400-500 calories daily, which is about 20% of your total energy needs. 

An average man requires 2,500 calories per day, while an average woman needs 2,000 calories. 

Most of this energy is used for automatic processes like muscle control and sensory processing. 

However, studies indicate that solving complex problems can also increase the brain's metabolic demands.

Dinosaur poop

Dinosaur poop            

Dinosaurs expelled waste, some of which fossilized into coprolites. 

Palaeontologists study these to learn about dinosaur diets and food chains. 

A notable coprolite, likely from T. rex, found in Canada, contains bone fragments, indicating powerful biting. Other coprolites show plant and decomposing wood remnants, suggesting varied diets.


 

Science of Goose bumps

Science of Goose bumps

Goose bumps, or piloerection, are present in land mammals but absent in marine mammals, birds, snakes, and frogs. 

This response, causing hair to stand on end, evolved for warmth and threat display. 

Marine mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians lack this feature due to different evolutionary adaptations.
