Venus might be the closest thing to hell in our solar system, with temperatures that average 462 degrees Celsius and an atmosphere so thick that the air pressure on Venus’ surface is more than 90 times that of Earth. Continue reading to discover how long we could survive on the fiery landscapes of Venus and … Read more
Canada is the second largest country on Earth, and Titan is the second largest moon in our Solar System. Comparing their sizes can be a challenge because Canada is a relatively flat piece of land, while Titan possesses a spherical shape. However, we can compare some key statistics of the two in order to determine … Read more
Asia is the largest continent on Earth, while Ganymede is the largest moon in our Solar System. Ganymede has a surface area of 87.2 million sq. km while Asia’s is far lesser at 44.57 million sq. km. In regards to volume Asia’s is 2.78 billion cubic km whereas Ganymede’s is 76.6 billion cubic km. Although the … Read more
Neptune is the eighth planet from the Sun, whose freezing temperatures, gassy surface, and lack of oxygen make it inhabitable for humans. While there could be liquid water lurking beneath the surface of this ice giant, the pressures make it too intense of an environment for us to explore. Discover why Neptune isn’t suitable for … Read more
USA is the third largest country on Earth and forms part of the North American continent while Callisto is the third largest moon in the solar system. Callisto has a surface area of 73 million sq. kilometers and a volume 59 billion cubic kilometers whilst Callisto is far smaller with a surface area of 9.88 million sq. … Read more
Generally, solar eclipses happens during the day, and a lunar eclipse occurs at night. Solar eclipses describesa phenomenon where our moon travels a path between our Sun and Earth blocking out the light that reaches us. But if the Sun is not in the sky, we can not witness this event. Still, lunar eclipses also … Read more
A satellite is any object which orbits a star or planet. We can generally group satellites into two main types: natural and man-made. Natural satellites include the moon, while man-made objects include the Hubble Telescope, which sits in a low earth orbit. Continue reading to discover the different types of satellites and how the Hubble … Read more
Canada has a surface area of 9.98 million and a volume of 349.46 mllion cubic kilometers while the Moon is a spherical entity with a surface area of 37.9 million square kilometers and a volume of 21.92 billion cubic kilometers. It only makes sense that the Moon would be bigger as it is spherical whilst Canada … Read more
Asia has a surface area of 44.58 million sq. kilometers and a volume of 2.78 billion cubic kilometers while Callisto is a spherical entity with a surface area of 73 million sq. kilometers and a volume of 59 billion cubic kilometers. As a result it only makes sense that Callisto would be the bigger of the … Read more
Solar flares and coronal mass ejections are both solar explosions that burst through the surface of the Sun (often near hotspots) and make their way toward Earth. Both of these phenomena are caused by the Sun’s twisting magnetic field, which can affect technology and communications here on Earth. Continue reading to discover the key similarities … Read more
