Top 10 Exciting Facts about Space



Solar system an interesting and unpredictable theme at all the time and it includes immeasurable amount of excellences. Here are some exciting information about the solar system and its related objects.

10. The lifespan of the solar system is around 4.6 billion years
When get back to the origin period of the solar system, it includes approximately 4.6 billion years. The scientist made the research about the lifespan of the solar system with the help of meteorites from that they examined an interesting result, which is the solar system is 4.6 billion years old. Through this interesting and unknown research result, we can know the period of solar system formation and its related aspects. This research also explains that every object in the solar system has this same lifespan in an estimated manner.

9. The orbit of solar system
In the solar system, all objects use same orbit that is a counter-clockwise direction. Scientist found that the direction of every object in the solar system is a counter-clockwise mode and the complete solar system is the formation of hydrogen cloud. This result gives the basic theme about the formation of the solar system and its essential core part.

8. Rotation of Sun with other objects
From the origin period to present minute of the solar system, the Sun is rotating in a same orbit way and it is accumulated with the amount of gas particles and dust. The rotation of Sun formed a gas disk, which covers the rotation of all planets and other types of objects. In addition to this, the Solar system also includes some interesting aspects about comets.

7. An effect of lightning on earth
As every year, lightning kills more than 1000 people approximately. Lightning is a substantial discharge of electrostatic power and it includes the electrically charged particles.

6. Power of one lightning
By and large, one lightning can give the power of electricity that is needed for the one month power usage of 10 million homes. Electricity that is produced from the lightning is a release of electrically charged particles within clouds.

5. The Speed of Sunlight
The speed range of sunlight is around 8 minutes and 19 seconds that is 499 seconds. This is a known fact for everyone. But, this speed range is the time taken of light travel to reach the Earth from the Sun surface only.

4. Actual lifetime of sunlight
Actual time of sunlight travel is really exciting. Exactly, the sunlight takes around 10,000 to 170,000 years for the process of photon travel from the central part of the Sun to the surface of the Sun. So, the light reaching the earth’s surface approximately includes the lifespan of a minimum of above 10,000 years to a maximum of 170, 000 years.

3. Temperature in the core of Sun
The temperature level in the central part of the Sun is about 13,600,000 Kelvin, but it will be reduced in a gradual manner while it travels towards the earth’s surface.

2. The movement of our earth through space
The Milky Way is rotating at a speed of 225 Km per second and the spin of the Milky Way Galaxy through space is 305 Km per second. From these statistics, we are travelling through the space at a speed of 530 Km per second. That means the total speed of our travel is 330 miles per second.

1. Movement of moon from the Earth
Every year, the moon moves 3.8 cm away from the Earth due to the tidal effects and the spinning speed of the Earth is reduced about 0.002 seconds in each day per century.
