We generally draw the sun in yellow, orange or red in colour but what really is the color of the sun? We all have different opinions on this but scientifically, the Sun is all colors blended that seem white to our eyes. Did you know that? Science Fact: When we gaze at the sun with our naked eyes, we see yellow rays with a white center. When we see the Sun at sunrise or sunset, it is lower in the sky and may appear yellow, orange, or red. However, this is only because its short-wavelength colors (green, blue, and violet) are scattered by the Earth's atmosphere, whereas its longer wavelength colors penetrate through the dense atmosphere and are visible to the eyes. Our eyes can detect only a small amount of this energy, that portion we call "visible light." Listen to this episode and understand the entire phenomenon more vividly.

Do planes land with their nose pointing downwards? Well, let's find out the facts in this episode. The nose of an airplane is like the tip of an arrow, that determines where the plane goes.

“Lightning never strikes the same place twice” is a common phrase you’ve probably heard before. For a long time, lightning was also considered as a flash of supernatural origins - the great weapon of the gods. But scientifically, are these just myths, or is there some truth in these? Clouds are composed of water droplets and ice crystals. Cool air has ice crystals while warm air has water droplets. During a storm, the droplets and crystals collide and drift away in the air forming static electricity. This results in the release of electric energy. Lightning takes about only 30 milliseconds to reach Earth and right after it strikes, it resonates in rapid succession. So, in this short period, several strikes can occur at the same location. Listen to the complete episode to know about the places that receive the most and the least amount of lightning strikes per year and also why we don't feel it in the airplanes and high-rise buildings. https://kidacity.club/ https://chimesradio.com http://onelink.to/8uzr4g https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/ https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
