WHAT IS THE SCIENCE BEHIND WHY THE SUN APPEARS RED DURING SUNRISE AND SUNSET?


The secret of this scientific process lies in Rayleigh scattering, Lord Rayleigh being the first British scientist to explain light scattering in the 19th century. Sunlight consists of all colors and this process occurs when sunlight enters the Earth's atmosphere and all the colors together make the sunlight bright white. All colors present in sunlight have different scattering abilities. All colors except red light are scattered or scattered and mixed into the light. Then the dust and soil particles collide and spread, but this does not happen at sunrise and sunset.

The rays of the sun have seven colors, of which the rainbow or vibgyor is formed. Its colors are purple, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. Red has the longest wavelength. This means that the red color can be seen from the farthest. When the sun rises or sets, it is farthest from our eyes, so its red color is clearly visible to us, while the other 6 colors are not visible due to distance.

What color is the Sun really, yellow, red or white?

If you are asked what color the Sun is, what will you answer? Of course, most people would describe it as yellow and some as red. But in reality the color of the sun is different. Former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly on Tuesday confirmed this space fact, that is, he told what color the Sun is. While on Earth, we see the Sun as yellow, because of the physics of light. For this reason the Sun appears yellow to us. But the true color of the Sun is actually white. The Sun appears yellow to us because of the Earth's atmosphere. But once you get out of Earth's atmosphere, the Sun appears white instead of a single colour. Actually, the sunlight mixes all the colors together, which appears white to our eyes, but this can be easily seen only in the pictures taken from space.



Light has an effect on the photoreceptor cells in our eyes. This brings all the colors together. When all the colors of light mix together, they end up in white. For this reason the Sun appears yellow, red or white on Earth and white in space. Earth's atmosphere plays a role in the color of the Sun. It allows our brain to perceive blue and yellow. Although it has no effect on our eyes. Whatever X-ray and gamma-ray radiation is in sunlight, it gets filtered before it gets close to the ground.

Why does the sky appear blue?

To understand why the sky appears blue to us, we first need to understand a little about light. White light from the Sun is actually made up of the spectrum of many different colors that we see spread out in a rainbow. Light is a wave of energy and different colors have all kinds of wavelengths. At one end of the light spectrum is red which has the longest wavelength and on the other side is blue and violet light which has very short wavelengths. When sunlight reaches the Earth's atmosphere, it It is dispersed, or deflected, by small molecules of gas (mostly nitrogen and oxygen) in the air. Because these molecules are so small compared to the wavelength of visible light, the amount of scattering depends on the wavelength. This effect is called Rayleigh scattering, named after Lord Rayleigh who first discovered it. Shorter wavelengths (violet and blue) are scattered most strongly,


so more blue light is scattered toward our eyes than other colors. You may wonder why the sky doesn't actually look violet because violet light More strongly scattered than blue. This is because sunlight doesn't have as much violet to begin with, and our eyes are more sensitive to blue.

HUMANS LIVE IN THE NEST BECAUSE OF 700 YEARS OLD HISTORY

 
 
Kandovan also known as Kanwan is an ancient village in Sahand Rural District in the Central District of Osku County, East Azerbaijan Province, North-Western Iran. It is situated at the foot of the Sahand Mountains near the city of Osku. At the 2006 census, the population of the village was 601 in 168 households. These villages are examples of man-made rock houses that are still inhabited. Troglodite houses excavated inside volcanic rocks are locally called karans, similar to dwellings in the Turkish region of Cappadocia. The karan was cut into non-welded ignimbrates, also known as the "ash-flow tuffs" of Mount Sahand. The conical form of the houses is the result of erosion of ignimbrite layers consisting of porous, round and angular pumice stone along with other volcanic particles that were located in a gray, acidic matrix. During the eruption of the Sahand, pyroclastic flows formed the rocks of Kandovan. The thickness of this structure around the village is over 100 meters (330 ft) and, over time, water erosion has formed cone-shaped rocks.

DO YOU KNOW WHERE IS THE SMALLEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD

 PRINCIPALITY OF SEALAND
 
The smallest country in the world is not Vatican City, but this small offshore platform in the North Sea known as Sealand. As the name suggests, it is a land surrounded by sea on all sides. However, Vatican City is the smallest country recognized internationally. Sealand on the other hand is not! 
 
 
 
The Principality of Sealand is an unrecognized micronation that boasts an offshore platform HM Fort Ruffs (also known as Ruffs Tower) in the North Sea, approximately 12 kilometers (7.5 mi) off the coast of Suffolk, as that its area. Ruffs Tower is a Maunsell sea fort built by the British in international waters during World War II. Since 1967, the decommissioned Ruffs Tower has been occupied and claimed as a sovereign state by the family and associates of Paddy Roy Bates. Bates confiscated Ruffs Tower in 1967 from a group of pirate radio broadcasters with the intention of setting up his own station. Sealand was invaded by mercenaries in 1978, but was able to repel the attack. Since 1987, when the United Kingdom increased its territorial waters to 12 nautical miles, the platform has been in British territory. While Sealand has been described as the smallest country in the world, it is not recognized by any sovereign state.

How and when was Sealand formed?
 
Sealand was created by the British during World War II. It was used as a fort for the army and navy. It was located outside UK waters (the border), so it should have been demolished after the war ended, but somehow it was not destroyed. During World War II, in 1943, HM Fort Roughs was constructed by the UK government as Maunsell Forts. They are mainly used as a defense against important shipping lanes in nearby estuaries. It was also useful against German mine-laying aircraft. These Maunsel forts were closed in 1956.

Who owns Sealand?

In 1967 Sealand was occupied by Paddy Roy Bates. He got it claimed by pirate radio broadcasters and declared it a sovereign country. However, for the last 54 years it has been operating in defiance of the United Kingdom government. However, the Principality of Sealand is a disputed micronation. It is located 12 kilometers off the coast of Suffolk as its territory.

Sealand's total area 

Area total 0.004 km (0.0015 sq mi)

Here is the Prince of Sealand and his seal

 
Sealand Currency and passport


 
Sealand flag
 

The British Government's case against Bates

In 1968, British workers attempted to enter the Principality of Sealand to serve their shipping buoys. Bates tried to scare them by firing some warning shots. Although at that time it was a British subject, so he was summoned by the UK Court. They were not punished as the offenses committed were outside the 3 nautical miles of the country's waters and thus the case could not proceed. It was then that Bates introduced a constitution, a national flag and national anthem along with currencies and passports in Sealand. 

History (HM Fort Ruffs)

In 1943, during World War II, HM Fort Ruffs (sometimes called Ruffs Tower) was constructed by the United Kingdom as a Maunsell fortress, primarily from a German mine - from a nearby neighbourhood. Protecting important shipping lanes against laying in aircraft. It consists of a floating pontoon base consisting of a superstructure of two hollow towers connected by a deck to which other structures can be attached. The fort was moved to a position above the Rough Sands sandbar, where its base was deliberately flooded to drown its final resting place. It is approximately 7 nautical miles (13 km) off the coast of Suffolk, which is outside the United Kingdom's then 3 nmi (6 km) claim and, therefore, is in international waters. The facility was occupied by 150–300 Royal Navy personnel during World War II; The last full-time employees left in 1956. Mounsel Fort was closed in the 1950s.

Business and establishment

Ruffs Tower was captured by Jack Moore and his daughter Jane on behalf of the pirate station Wonderful Radio London in February and August 1965. On 2 September 1967, the fort was occupied by British civilian and pirate radio broadcaster Major Paddy Roy Bates. , who ousted a competing group of pirate broadcasters. Bates intended to broadcast his pirate radio station - Radio Essex - from the stage. Despite having the necessary equipment, he never started broadcasting. Bates declared independence.

DO YOU KNOW WHY AMERICA INTRODUCED JEANS IN THE WORLD ?

 
 
America has introduced jeans to the world. Through this country, jeans reached all corners of the world. The jeans which are considered a fashion statement today were actually made for the labourers. The reason behind making jeans was that the clothes of the workers should not be too dirty. Yes, jeans were made because of not having to wash the pants again and again. In today's time everyone wears jeans. A small pocket (Tiny Pocket In Jeans) remains in the inner part of its pocket. 

 
 
We use it to keep coins. Most of the people do not know that the correct answer is why a small space is made in the area inside the pocket of the jeans? The pocket made on the right side in jeans is actually used for some other reason. Actually, it is used to keep a small clock, not a coin. Actually, the history of jeans is very old. Initially it was made for laborers but later it became a fashion statement. In the 18th century, small chain clocks used to run. This space was made in the pocket to keep the same watch.
