MUST KNOW FACTS I

Sunlight exerts pressure (solar radiation pressure). 

On average, our bodies constantly resist an atmospheric pressure of about 1kg per square cm. Thanks to blood pressure otherwise I wouldn't have been writing this.

Due to the effect of Thermal Expansion, the Eiffel Tower is upto 15cm taller in summer.

If an atom were the size of a stadium, its electrons would be as small as bees. Comparable dimensions!!

If given the same mass, our body would actually be hotter than the Sun. The continuous conversion of chemical energy to thermal energy.

The only rock that floats in water is pumice. Its an igneous rock.
