None of the numbers from 1 to 999 contain the letter ‘A’. Letter ‘A’ is the second most frequently used letter in the English language. However, the first number to spell out with an ‘A’ is one thousand (1,000).
Thank you for sharing! The most popular letter in English is “E” and we have a number fact about it in the book, don’t we?
About 70% of our planet surface is covered by ocean. With an average depth of 3.7 kilometres, there is rarely any significant light beyond 200 metres and everything below that point is dark. This means that most of our planet stays in complete darkness at all times.
Plants rely on photosynthesis, a process that converts light energy into chemical energy, and therefore require sunlight to grow. So the darkness makes it impossible for traditional photosynthetic plants to exist. Does it mean there are no plants at all there?
Giraffes are much more likely to get hit by lightning than humans
The Chupa Chups logo was actually designed by Salvador Dalí! He’s the artist who painted all those weird, dream-like pictures. It’s amazing to think that a famous artist like him made the logo for a candy. So, when you’re enjoying a Chupa Chups lollipop, you’re also holding a piece of art created by Dalí.
Hey guys, guess what? I learned this super cool fact about Earth! Like, a really, really long time ago, way before dinosaurs or anything, it rained for millions of years! Yes, millions! This was way back, around 4 billion years ago. Imagine, it just kept raining and raining, non-stop!
You know the Moon up in the sky, right? And how it’s really, really far from us? Well, there’s enough room between us and the Moon to fit all the other planets of our solar system! Yes, all of them! Mercury, which is really tiny, and Venus, and Mars, and even the big ones like Jupiter and Saturn with its pretty rings, and also Uranus and Neptune – they can all squish in between Earth and the Moon! Isn’t that amazing?
If we took every tiny bacteria from all over the world and stacked them up, they would reach super far, like 10 billion light-years away! That’s like going to the end of the universe and back a bunch of times! And these little microbes, which are so small we can’t even see them, could wrap around our whole Milky Way galaxy more than 20,000 times. Isn’t that crazy?
Hippos, they can’t swim! For real! Their bones are like, super big and heavy, so they can’t float. They don’t swim, they kinda walk or gallop but like, really slow, on the river bottom or in the sea
when two mirrors face each other, they don’t make infinite reflections? It’s true! Each time the light bounces between them, the reflection gets a bit darker because mirrors absorb some of the light. After a while, you can’t see the reflections anymore. They can only bounce back and forth like a few hundred times!
Jupiter is twice as big as all the other planets combined
French fries originated in Belgium, not France
Time goes faster at the top of a building. According to the Theory of Relativity by Einstein, the farther an object is from the earth’s surface, the faster time passes, so time goes faster at the top of a building compared to the bottom
