Amazing Science Facts
Fact 1: Water Expands When It Freezes
Unlike most substances, water expands when it freezes. This is due to the hydrogen bonding in
water molecules, which causes them to form a crystalline structure with more open space.
Fact 2: The Speed of Light is Constant
The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second. This constant
plays a critical role in Einstein's theory of relativity and the structure of spacetime.
Fact 3: The Human Body Glows
Humans emit a small amount of visible light, but it's 1,000 times weaker than the human eye can
perceive. This bioluminescence is a result of metabolic reactions.
Fact 4: A Day on Venus is Longer Than Its Year
Venus rotates very slowly on its axis, taking about 243 Earth days to complete one rotation, while it
takes only 225 Earth days to complete an orbit around the Sun.
Fact 5: DNA is a Data Storage Powerhouse
A single gram of DNA can store about 215 petabytes (215 million gigabytes) of data. This makes
DNA the most dense data storage medium known to science.
