2. The Eiffel Tower grows 15 centimeters in summer

The huge structure is built with temperature compensators, thanks to which the steel can expand and contract without any damage.

When the steel heats up, it begins to expand and takes up more volume. This is called thermal expansion. Conversely, a drop in temperature leads to a decrease in volume. For this reason, large structures such as bridges are built with expansion joints that allow them to change in size without damage.

3.20% oxygen is generated in the Amazon rainforest

The Amazon rainforest covers 5.5 million square kilometers. The Amazon jungle produces a significant portion of the oxygen on Earth by absorbing huge amounts of carbon dioxide, which is why they are often called the lungs of the planet.

5. A teaspoon of a neutron star will weigh 6 billion tons

Neutron stars are the remnants of massive stars, consisting mainly of a neutron core covered with a relatively thin (about 1 km) crust of matter in the form of heavy atomic nuclei and electrons. The nuclei of stars that died during a supernova explosion were compressed under the influence of gravity. This is how superdense neutron stars were formed. Astronomers have found that the mass of neutron stars can be comparable to the mass of the Sun, while their radius does not exceed 10-20 kilometers.

6. Every year Hawaii approaches Alaska by 7.5 cm

The earth's crust consists of several huge parts - tectonic plates. These plates are constantly moving with the top layer of the mantle.

7. In 2.3 Billion Years, Earth Will Be Too Hot for Life

Our planet will eventually become an endless desert, similar to today's Mars. For hundreds of millions of years, the Sun has been heating up, getting brighter and hotter and will continue to do so.

As scientists predict, in the next several billion years, the Sun will turn into a red giant and completely swallow the Earth - the planet will definitely come to an end.

10. If you remove all interatomic space, humanity will fit in a sugar cube

In fact, more than 99.9999% of an atom is empty space. An atom consists of a tiny, dense nucleus surrounded by a cloud of electrons, which proportionally take up more space. This is because electrons move in waves. They can exist only where the crests and troughs of waves fold in a certain way. The electrons do not stay at one point, their location can be anywhere within the orbit. And therefore they take up a lot of space.

11. Stomach juice can dissolve razor blades

The stomach digests food thanks to caustic hydrochloric acid with a high pH (hydrogen index) - from two to three. But at the same time, acid also affects the gastric mucosa, which, however, is able to quickly recover. Your stomach lining is completely renewed every four days.

Scientists have many versions of why this is happening. Most likely: because of the huge asteroids that influenced its course in the past, or because of the strong circulation of air currents in the upper atmosphere.

13. A flea can accelerate faster than a space shuttle

Jumping fleas reach mind-boggling heights - 8 centimeters per millisecond. Each jump gives the flea an acceleration of 50 times the acceleration of the spacecraft.
