Does "100% Humidity" Mean Air Has Turned to Water?
Humidity is simply a measure of how "wet" the air is in a specific place, or the amount of water vapor present in the air. However, it's important to note that humidity is an umbrella term that can refer to three different types of...

Could We Dissipate A Tornado By Firing A Rocket Into It?
A tornado forms when there is a hot layer of atmospheric air that is covered by a relatively cold, dry bank of air above. When the warm air at the bottom of the atmosphere rises (due to its temperature), it pushes up on the cold air...

Can Light Escape a Black Hole?
Light is affected by black holes because of the theory of general relativity, which states that any massive object warps the spacetime around it. Since a photon travels by the shortest distance between two points, light appears to bend...

Black Holes Explained: What Is a Black Hole? How They Form?
A black hole is a celestial body or simply a place in space where the gravitational pull is so high that nothing, not even light can escape it. This is why it's completely black, and hence it's called a black hole. A black hole's...

Why Do Tightrope Walkers Carry Long Poles when Walking on A Rope?
Carrying a pole helps the walker increase their rotational inertia, which aids in maintaining stability while walking over the narrow rope. The pole also adds more weight below the center of gravity of the walker, which is another bonus...

Why Are Planetary Orbits Elliptical?
Planetary orbits are elliptical because gravitational interaction over time changes the delicate balance of mass, velocity and distance from the star which otherwise keeps planetary orbit circular. For a very long time, from Ptolemy to...
