RANDOM THINGS!
This is where all the cool random stuff lives! Pick a category below or search for something specific. There's so much interesting stuff to learn about!
SPACE IS HUGE!
Space is so big that we can't even imagine it! The nearest star to us (besides the Sun) is 4.24 light years away. That means light takes over 4 years to get there!
There are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on all of Earth's beaches. That's like... a LOT of stars!
COOL FACT: A day on Venus is longer than its year! Venus spins so slowly that it takes 243 Earth days to rotate once!
DINOSAURS WERE REAL!
Dinosaurs lived on Earth for over 160 million years! Humans have only been around for about 300,000 years. Dinosaurs were here WAY longer than us.
The T-Rex had teeth as big as bananas and could bite with 12,800 pounds of force! That's stronger than any animal alive today.
Some dinosaurs had feathers! Scientists now think many dinosaurs, including some raptors, were covered in colorful feathers like birds.
WEIRD FOOD FACTS!
Honey never goes bad! Archaeologists have found 3000-year-old honey in Egyptian tombs and it was still perfectly edible!
Carrots were originally purple, not orange! Orange carrots were bred in the Netherlands in the 1600s.
YUMMY FACT: The world's largest pizza was over 13,000 square feet! That's bigger than a basketball court!
AMAZING ANIMALS!
Octopuses have three hearts and blue blood! Two hearts pump blood to their gills, and one pumps it to the rest of their body.
Elephants are the only animals that can't jump! But they can communicate using sounds too low for humans to hear.
A group of flamingos is called a "flamboyance" - which is perfect because they're so fancy and pink!
SCIENCE IS COOL!
Lightning is five times hotter than the surface of the Sun! A single bolt can reach 30,000 degrees Celsius!
Water can exist as a solid, liquid, and gas all at the same time at exactly 0.01 degrees Celsius and specific pressure. It's called the "triple point"!
SCIENCE FACT: If you could fold a piece of paper 42 times, it would reach the Moon!
