Butterflies have big round eyes that are called hemispherical compound eyes. Each eye has up to 17,000 tiny lenses that work in unison and create a mosaic view of their environment.
A typical lightning bolt contains 1 billion volts and contains between 10,000 to 200,000 amperes of current. The average flash would light a 100 watt lightbulb for 3 months. A typical lightning bolt contains 1 billion volts and contains between 10,000 to 200,000 amperes of current.
Ants can lift 50 times their body weight. So for most people, the answer is Car, but if you were also 1,000 pounds, then you could lift a fire truck, too [50 x 1,000lbs = 50,000 lbs]. Rocket ships are 1 million pounds so there’s no shot with that.
Nonillion sounds like a fake word to most people, but it’s actually a real number.
Yes, air does have weight. Have you ever tried blowing up a balloon? Did it get heavier?
1 sextillion has 21 zeros. 1 octillion has 27 zeros. 1 googol has 100 zeroes. It looks like this: 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Atoms win by a long shot. There are roughly 5 sextillion atoms in just one drop of water. On Earth, there are an estimated 100 quindecillion atoms—that’s 1 with 49 zeros!
Insects live only for months, humans live for decades, and trees live for hundreds or even thousands of years!
Atoms and bacteria are so small that they can only be seen under a microscope. Ants are also quite small, but are visible to the human eye.
Congrats! We hope you've learned a lot.
