Despite Andy Warhol's presence in the media, some people are still not familiar with him. You can't blame them that much since the person died a long time ago. Hence, here are ten facts about Andy Warhol you should know:

He called his studio, 'The Factory'. When he named his studio the Factory, it unbelievably became a meeting place for celebrities and creative personalities. Hence, you can't blame yourself if you want to hang out there as you will meet many famous people.

Joshua Miller

He worked on many forms of media. To say that Andy is versatile is an understatement. Besides, you would want to do things the right way and that is exactly what he does as he tried painting, drawing, sculpting, and even filmmaking. It is safe to say this man has many talents and he always aimed to expand his learnings.

He is scared of hospitals and doctors. It is safe to say that he takes good care of his health a lot. Besides, he is scared of doctors and hospitals so he will certainly not want to end up at the hospital. The only way to make that happen would be to take good care of yourself. You can't blame him for this fear as everyone is scared of something.

He is known for pop art. Andy is famous for designing cans and other product containers. He uses a combination of celebrities and artists. It is evident he would often put his creativity on display. There is a good reason why he knows many singers and actors. In fact, there is a chance they meet other celebrities at the Factory.

Andy produced work for many celebrities. Some of the celebrities whom Andy produced for include Mick Jagger, Diana Ross, and John Lennon. The list of celebrities who wanted work done by him would always become bigger. He even produced some dollar bills and soda bottles.

Andy suffered from St Vitus Dance as a child. Andy had St Vitus Dance while he was still studying. Unfortunately, it meant he was unable to go to school for some days. There are times when his arms and legs would twitch. It was not something he wanted but he was still smart enough to get good grades when he was a kid.

He never had sex. Despite the number of celebrities he met at the Factory, he has never had sex. Unfortunately, he died without experiencing it as it is one of the things you must experience before you die. What's worse is that he actually admits it in one of his movies. This would lead to many people questioning whether he was straight or not.

He got shot by a feminist. Andy and Valeria Solanas got into quite a few encounters before Solanas came to the Factory and shot Andy. The good news is that Andy survived and Valeria turned herself into the cops. She ended up getting treated and Andy spent several days confined at the nearest hospital. Solanas actually shot Andy three times but she failed to get the job done as Andy lived to fight another day.

His birth date was never recorded at a hospital. Whenever the media asks Andy about his birthdate, he would invent dates. This would lead to him making stories about his childhood. Thus, you can never assume that the stories of his childhood were true. It was his way of having fun with the press so he would always come out with new stories that apparently happened when he was a kid.

The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts was formed after his death. There is no doubt the art industry was hit real hard by his death. This foundation was formed in order to commemorate what he brought to the world. They provide grants to people who deserve it a lot.

It is a sphere about 7,500 miles in diameter. That is about the same size as the earth. Humans could feel at home as far as space is concerned on Venus.

Venus is one of the 4 planets in the solar system classified as rocky. The terrain would not be much different from earth if not for the heat, smoke, and atmosphere of the planet. Probes have landed on the surface, which is solid. The ground is red. But as it is now, we cannot walk on Venus even in space suits.

It is too hot for people for even a brief second to survive at about 900 Fahrenheit. The heat is mainly because of a greenhouse effect in the atmosphere. Volcanos are spread out over the surface. Scientists think some may still be active. Can you imagine the bubbling hot lava in that burning hot environment with no relief in sight?

That could also explain the temperature levels. The sun is about 67 million miles from the planet Venus.

The sun's gravity would derail any moons from orbiting a planet so close. If you were able to stand on the surface and look up, the night sky would be vastly different from that of Earth.

It has carbon dioxide and nitrogen but not oxygen. This would complicate efforts for people or almost anything else to live on Venus.

That is a shame considering the drastic desert conditions - it's hot, smoky and there is no water! This alone would make it intolerable for us to live there now.

Scientists have observed a compound called phosphine in the clouds which could indicate microbial life. Phosphine is a colorless, bad smelling gaseous compound of phosphorus and hydrogen, similar to ammonia, Microbes are bacterium which primarily cause disease or fermentation. This is not necessarily life we would like to be around.

A year is briefer than a day on Venus. The Sun sets in the east and rises in the west, taking about 243 earth days. But Venus orbits the sun quicker than our own planet, so a year is complete in about 225 Earth days. That means if you are about 10 years old in June 2022, and have lived around 3,666 earth days, if you lived on Venus, you would be 15 days old and 16 years old!

Sandwiched between Mercury and Earth, Venus is generally assumed to be the closest neighbor to Earth. However, it seems there is an alternate theory that Mercury may be closer to Earth than Venus is at least at times during our calendar.

The longest lasting probe sent, from Russia, survived about an hour due to the conditions. NASA has sent several ships and probes to gather information from Venus as well. None have survived for long. However, they have transmitted numerous pictures and other data for study.

There are two projects planned. Davenci will be a study of the atmosphere and conditions of the planet. Veritas will map the geological history of Venus. These missions are planned for 2027 – 2029 and will coordinate with each other.

Just like on Earth, Mars also has 4 seasons, and they are the same (spring, summer, autumn, and winter). However, the seasons do not have the same length since spring lasts about seven months, while summer lasts six months, but autumn and winter last only a short time.

Since its discovery, mankind believed that Mars was bigger than the Earth, but a few decades ago NASA confirmed that it is smaller than the Earth. The diameter of Mars is about 7000 square kilometers, while the diameter of the Earth is about 13 square kilometers. In addition, its total mass is 10% of the mass of the Earth.

This has been one of the most difficult challenges that NASA has had to deal with for the Mars One project since Mars has the most intense sandstorms in the entire Milky Way. This is mainly because the dust particles retain sunlight and increase the temperature of the atmosphere, which causes winds of more than 300 km / h generating storms that last up to four and five months.

One of the most interesting facts about the red planet is that it has the highest mountain in the Milky Way, which was named Mount Olympus in honor of the home of the gods in Greek mythology. This mythical mountain has an elevation of more than 27 km above the surrounding plains, being three times higher than Mount Everest.

Mars is the only planet in the solar system that is rusting. This is because it is largely composed of iron and oxygen, so even the metal rocks and mountains are rusting all the time. Because of the iron oxide is that the planet has its characteristic rusty color with different shades of red and dark brown.

People would weigh less on Mars than on Earth because the gravity is much lower, about 62.5% less, so 100 kg here would be about 39 kg on Mars. This has allowed the Mars rovers to perform better and move more easily across the surface.

As mentioned above, Mars is the fourth planet in the solar system, and therefore its climate is colder, not only because of this but also because its atmosphere is very thin and retains little heat. During the day, the temperature can reach 20 degrees Celsius, while on winter nights the temperature can drop to -140 degrees Celsius.

Among the most amazing curiosities of the red planet is its unique phenomenon known as araneiform terrain. This natural phenomenon consists of spider-shaped monticules that form when the carbon dioxide ice that is on the surface, overheats and is released to form these monticules.

Mars has an impressive canyon system, Valles Marineris, where the deepest canyon in the solar system is over 4000 km long, and in some areas, it is up to 7 km deep. Valles Marineris was discovered in 1971 by NASA's Mariner 9 probe.

One of the most impressive phenomena on Mars is the sunsets because unlike on Earth, the sunsets are blue. This is because there is a lot of dust in the atmosphere, which distorts the light and makes it look blue.

Mars

Uranus is the coldest planet in the solar system. It has a temperature of around minus 400 degrees Celsius, which is about -423F.] The atmosphere of Uranus consists mainly of hydrogen and helium, with some methane and neon gases mixed in as well. Uranus's atmosphere is fragile, only 0.5 percent of Earth's atmosphere, making it hard for sunlight to reach its surface.

Like most planets, Uranus orbits the Sun on its side rather than in a straight line. Uranus is tilted because, when it was formed, it was closer to the Sun than Neptune and had to move farther away from it to balance itself out.

Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun and the second-largest in the Solar System. It is named after Uranus, the Greek god of the sky. It has 84 moons, which are named after characters from Greek mythology.

Uranus is the second least dense planet in our solar system. The density of a world is directly related to its mass.

The density of Uranus was calculated by the Hubble Space Telescope using interferometry. This involved observing the planet at different light wavelengths, allowing scientists to determine how much it weighed.

Uranus has an average density of 1.3 grams per cubic centimeter. It's seven times less dense than Earth, but it still has enough mass to be considered a gas giant like Jupiter or Saturn.

Uranus has rings, but they are not visible to the naked eye. The ring system consists of six narrow rings and one wide ring with 57 known moons. Calls are made of dark and light material, making them difficult to see without optical aid. The planet's rings are named after characters from Greek mythology, such as Atlas and Prometheus, who were punished by being bound to rocks for eternity after attempting to steal fire from Zeus for mortals. The Uranian ring system is similar in structure to Saturn's, but unlike Saturn's, it has only two gaps in its outermost rings that could be seen with the naked eye. These gaps were discovered by Voyager 2 in 1986 when it passed by Uranus on its way outbound from the Solar System.

The atmosphere of Uranus is composed of hydrogen, helium, and methane. The planet's atmosphere contains ices with a density about one-tenth that of water. The presence of these ices explains why the surface temperature on Uranus is low – about minus 288 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 174 degrees Celsius). The lack of an atmosphere also helps explain why the planet has a blue color.

Uranus' moons are named after characters from Greek mythology, with the names Zeus, Aphrodite, and Dione being used. The terms are not related to their appearance or orbit. However, Uranus' moons have orbits much closer to the planet than most of its neighbors. This means they can be seen in detail using a telescope or binoculars.

The five innermost moons (Cressida, Cordelia, Juliette, Ophelia, and Desdemona) are known as the "tear-drop" moons because they appear as if they have been pulled apart by an invisible force. They range in size from 1 to 2 miles in diameter. The other 14 moons range in size from 6 to 12 miles across.

Uranus

Earth is not a perfect sphere. If you look at Earth from above, you'll see that it has bulges in the middle (it's called the "oblate spheroid"). There are various reasons for this, but the most likely reason is that it got pulled in two directions after its formation. The pressures of its formation placed wrinkles on top of itself and forced it to flatten out. It's like a piece of fabric with wrinkles: they break away when pressed. But this process doesn't happen evenly everywhere; there are areas where the wrinkles get deeper and others where they're shallow. When viewed from above or below, these spots on Earth look like small spherical islands above or below other landmasses.

The circumference of the Earth is 24,901 miles, which makes the literal distance around the Earth 40,075.26 statute miles (40,074 statute miles plus the length of one foot - one statute mile is 5,280 feet).

Earth has an uneven gravitational field. The Earth's outer core is extremely powerful, generating the tidal forces with which the Earth is battered. But the core's massive weight (from about 30% to 80% of the calculated mass of Earth) is balanced by its lightness; despite being 10 times as massive as all the other solid materials on Earth, it weighs only 5% of Earth's total weight. The mantle above it, on the other hand, has no light material to balance it and thus consists mostly of dense rock (mostly iron). As a result, its gravity pulls more strongly on any object within than the force exerted by the core.

The length of the day is increasing slightly, contrary to what you may have heard. This is because the Earth's rotation is slowing down due to the increasing centrifugal force caused by the increasing energy input.

Earth is a terrestrial planet, meaning it's composed of silicate rocks and metals. This means it has a solid crust, solid mantle, and solid core. Earth's atmosphere is an extended atmosphere that gradually thins out with depth (and pressure). It is less dense at the top than at the bottom. Earth's atmosphere also has constant circulation patterns; winds move in massive circles called Hadley cells, and these winds vary with altitude, latitude, and season.

Earth is approximately 93 million miles away from the sun. It takes light from the sun about 8 minutes and 19 seconds to reach Earth.

The largest living thing in the world is a fungus: the Parasitic Clavate Orbweaver, which measures 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) across. It can be found in the forests of Costa Rica and Panama.

Earth's magnetic north pole is moving northward. The Earth's magnetic field is weakening, and the north pole will eventually shift to the Arctic Ocean. This process can be seen in real-time at Real Time Magnetic Resources.

Last updated in February 2013, the Earth BioGenome Project documented 8,688,437 species on Earth. That's about 86 percent of all species estimated to exist in the world, and including extinct species, it's about 98 percent of all species that have ever existed.

The Pacific Ocean is Earth's largest ocean basin, covering about 31% of the Earth's surface and holding about 66% of all Earth's water. Second-largest is the Atlantic Ocean, followed by the Indian Ocean.

Oceans cover about 70 percent of Earth's surface. If you add to this the fact that there is water in the Arctic and Antarctic icecaps, it brings the total to about 96 percent.

Mawsynram in India holds the record as the wettest place in the world. It rains here over 450 days a year. This is equal to over twenty feet (six meters) of rainfall.

The oldest tree in the world is almost 5,000 years old. It is located in eastern Turkey and is a Great Basin bristlecone pine.

Earth

When we imagine a planet, we usually picture something like Earth, with temperatures that are 40 degrees or higher and a habitable area. Neptune is the farthest planet from the sun and has an average temperature of minus 350 degrees Fahrenheit. That is the reason why it's considered to be in a permanent state of winter. Astronauts have to wear special suits and helmets to survive while they're walking on the surface of Neptune.

As we already mentioned, it's a very windy planet in Neptune, with winds reaching up to 1,100 miles per hour. It's estimated that its winds blow approximately 2,000 miles per hour when it's closest to the sun. By comparison on Earth, tornadoes only blow at an average rate of 110 miles per hour.

Neptune's atmosphere contains dense clouds that are made from methane gas and helium ice. Methane is considered to be a potential source for life as we know it on Earth. This planet is a giant ice giant with a mass of 1.2x that of the Earth, and it's considered to be one of the coldest planets in our solar system.

Neptune has 16 moons that are considered to be discovered; however, some scientists believe that it has around 30 moons. The 16 moons that have been discovered so far have been named for water nymphs and Greek gods and goddesses. Triton, one of Neptune's moons, is considered to be a big moon that is over 300 miles wide and has a retrograde orbit. In other words, it rotates backward around Neptune. A scientist named Lucie Green noticed that Triton, the sixth-largest moon on Neptune, has cracked that planet into two parts.

Neptune is also considered to be one of the blue planets in our solar system. It's rich in many things, such as volatiles and organic molecules. This planet's atmosphere consists of hydrogen, helium, and methane. The upper atmosphere has been known to have dark blue clouds made from ammonia crystals and hydrogen sulfide, which are salts that cause our eyes to burn when they come into contact with them. These clouds reflect the light making Neptune appear blue.

There are six faint rings in Neptune. These were first discovered in the 1980s and were barely seen, even with the most advanced telescopes. In 2014, a high-resolution image was taken of Neptune's rings that made them visible. The rings are named after scientists who have contributed to the understanding of Neptune. They are Galle, Le Verrier, Lassell, Arago, Adams, and Leverrier. When looking at the rings of Neptune, one can see that they are tilted toward the back of this planet.

The Great Dark Spot is the most intriguing feature on this planet.

This spot was discovered in the 1980s by an astronomer from Voyager 2. The Great Dark Spot is about three times the size of Earth, and it has a thick vortex. The spot is so dark because of the high concentration of methane gas that makes up this region. Scientists are still not sure how it was formed. One theory suggests that it resulted from an encounter with a smaller moon or another planet. Another theory says that the Great Dark Spot was formed by a giant flash flood several minutes long as well as a huge cloud that descended into the low-lying areas of Neptune's deep atmosphere.

One year on Neptune is equivalent to 165 years on Earth.

This is the longest year known to Earth, and it's approximately 165 Earth years long. The only other planet in our solar system except for Neptune that has these kinds of years is Jupiter. One day on Neptune is longer than a year on Earth because this planet rotates very slowly.

Neptune

It is the smallest planet in the solar system.

Mercury is a small rocky planet that circles the sun at the closest point to it among all planets in the solar system. It's much smaller than our earth and has a day side that’s bigger than its night side. When scientists compare it to our planet, it is about four times smaller. That’s why it only takes about 88 Earth days to orbit the Sun by Mercury! That’s a little more than half as long as Earth takes to orbit the Sun.

It’s even smaller than our moon. Our Moon is 1/400th as large as our planet and orbits the Sun at a distance of about 1,080,600 miles (1,738,000 kilometers). If Mercury and Earth were the same sizes, it would take Mercury about 3 and a half times more days for it to orbit the Sun.

By contrast, Mercury is the smallest planet in its system by more than 30 percent. It is about four times smaller than dwarf planet Pluto.

Mercury has no atmosphere.

This may not seem like such a big thing, but it makes all the difference when sending robots to its surface. Without an atmosphere, its surface is exposed to cosmic radiation and solar winds which would quickly destroy any robot we send there. When we have to send astronauts someday, we need to have a space suit that can protect them from this radiation as well as a shuttle all powered by solar panels. For that reason, Mercury is the only planet where we can't send robotic probes. There is no life on either, but it doesn't make space exploration any less fun.

Mercury spins backward.

When Mercury was first formed, its rotation started much like Earth's – slowing down as the planet grew heavier until it finally stopped spinning altogether. However, something very weird happened to make it spin backward! It is believed that when a large object struck Mercury in the past, its direction of rotation was flipped over. Scientists aren't entirely sure why this could happen, but it's a very cool question! When you give any planet or satellite this much trouble, you should probably keep it in mind for a new planetary system.

Mercury is made completely of metal.

The surface of the planet is completely made up of metal, which isn't too surprising. What IS surprising, however, is its density it has the highest density of any planet in the solar system! It also has one of the largest iron cores around – about half its volume. Scientists think this lumpy composition may have something to do with its unusual spin characteristics.

Mercury's surface is dotted with craters.

Mercury has over 300 craters on its surface, and scientists think that it may have had many more in the past. These are pretty old craters, which were likely formed when the planet was young and before it lost some of its mass. Because of the planet's small size, these craters are also very close together – making them easy to spot by spacecraft.

Mercury may be the only rocky planet in its system.

Since it was formed, Mercury has been losing mass fast and not adding any more. However, we don't know if this is because the planet is made up entirely of metal and not rock. There have been many arguments from scientists who think it should have a rocky core like Earth does. Only when we send a probe to Mercury's core will we know for sure whether or not it is rocky.

It has wrinkles on its surface.

Unlike Earth, Mercury is a smooth planet. However, over time, it has developed what scientists have called “wrinkles” on its surface. These wrinkles are still being studied by scientists but no one is exactly sure what they mean! Some think they are caused by the formation of its magnetic field, while others say it has to do with the fact that it spins backward. Whatever the case may be, it's another fun fact about our dynamic little planet.

Mercury

Known as the largest planet in the Milky Way, Jupiter is the body with the most mass and volume in our solar system after the sun. Since its discovery in 1610 by Galileo Galilei, scientists have made strenuous efforts to discover and understand all the phenomena that occur from the atmosphere to its core, but so far they have managed to decipher very little information about the giant planet Jupiter. However, below we will share with you 8 interesting facts about Jupiter that you may not know.

This planet has a characteristic ring system that was formed from dust, probably as a result of asteroids that impacted Jupiter's moons over millions of years. It was not until 1979 that the ring system was seen for the first time, thanks to the Voyager 1 probe, which revealed that it is composed of four rings. The main and most visible ring is approximately 6,400 km wide.

One of the most impressive features of Jupiter is its mysterious red spot, which has been for many years the focus of study of scientists investigating this planet. Today, we know that it is the largest anticyclonic vortex on the planet and one of the rarest phenomena in the entire solar system. Robert Hooke discovered the Great Red Spot in the 17th century.

According to NASA, this planet is about 4.5 billion years old. Although there are several theories about how it was formed, there is a theory that is more supported by the scientific community, which indicates that it all started from a core of ices that formed in a mass 10 times larger than the Earth's mass, which was attracting gas from the protosolar nebula to form the planet it is today.

Since its discovery more than 400 years ago, several satellites have been discovered orbiting this planet, being considered moons because of their size. So far, 79 moons are known to be orbiting Jupiter, and probably many more are yet to be discovered. The vast majority of the moons are small asteroids that are difficult to see from Earth. It was in 2017, with the help of the Hubble telescope, that the last 10 moons were identified, but unlike the others, they have irregular orbits. It should be noted that Jupiter is located near the asteroid belt, so many asteroids that collide with each other and deviate end up in an orbit around Jupiter.

Jupiter's atmosphere is responsible for the planet's vibrant colors. As you might expect, it is the largest atmosphere we know of in the solar system. It is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, although it also contains methane, ammonia, and water. This combination of gases creates a unique phenomenon of clouds of ammonia and water moving between hydrogen and helium, which creates brilliant colors of different hues.

The sun is the largest emitter of radiation in the entire Milky Way illuminating all the bodies in this space, which makes it possible for us to see the rest of the planets and stars. However, recently a group of scientists discovered that like the sun, Jupiter also emits radiation because it is composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, the same components of the sun's core.

Despite being the largest planet in the solar system, it is the fastest planet spinning on its own axis, which is extraordinary considering its great mass. It takes the Earth 24 hours to spin on its own axis, while it takes Jupiter only 10 hours. However, it takes 12 years to go around the sun, so one year on the giant planet is equivalent to 1433 days on Earth.

As mentioned earlier, the composition of this planet is very similar to that of the sun, mainly hydrogen and helium. Because of the high temperatures and pressure changes, the hydrogen in the atmosphere is constantly changing from a gaseous to a liquid state, giving rise to the largest hydrogen ocean in the solar system. Although more studies are still needed, there is a theory that indicates that this liquid hydrogen could be a conductor of electricity when it is near the planet's core because of the high pressures.

Jupiter

When you think about the pressure of the earth, you likely imagine it as a great amount of force pressing down on you. However, this is incorrect reasoning. The atmospheric pressure on Earth is approximately one bar (1 bar = 105 kPa), while the average atmospheric pressure in Saturn's atmosphere exceeds 100 bars (100 bars = 101,300 kPa). This is because Saturn's atmosphere is so large that its density is 1,300 times the density of Earth's atmosphere. It is the highest atmospheric pressure known to mankind.

We tend to think of Saturn as being a solid sphere. In reality, it is a gas planet and its outer atmosphere has been compressed by high pressure and gravity into a solid form. The surface of which appears like a flattened globe surrounded by rings that are comprised of 98% water ice particles with a dash of rocky material embedded in them. While the planet is most known for its set of rings, Saturn has a total of 62 ringlets and each one of them extends 60,000 km (37,000 miles) outwards from the planet.

Just like the earth, Saturn is composed mostly of oxygen and hydrogen. Unlike our planet, however, a lot more of its atmosphere is made up of helium as opposed to oxygen and hydrogen. This heavy helium makes up approximately 95% of Saturn's atmosphere. The major difference between Saturn and our planet is that the density of Saturn's atmosphere is about 80% greater than our own. As a result, Saturn can float on water which is why it appears to be a disc-shaped body of water floating in the sky.

Saturn has a magnetic field that wraps around its planet just like how the Earth has its magnetic field (the north and south poles). This means that the planet's magnetic field is strong enough that it can act as a shield. It protects the planet and satellites from the bombardment of charged particles that exist in space, like cosmic rays and solar flares.

Saturn has the most moons in our solar system – more than 60 moons to be exact. They are named after Greek and Roman deities including Prometheus, Pan, Atlas, Pandora, and Rhea. At least 15 of Saturn's satellites have been visited by spacecraft launched into space by NASA, ESA, and other organizations at various points in time. The largest of its moons is Titan, which is the second-largest moon in our solar system and the only moon to have a dense atmosphere.

The number one source of pollution in the ocean is plastic.

Plastic always comes from reckless humans. We can do our part just by avoiding consuming plastic products. We can also refuse straws at fast food chains. As expected, the number one solution for avoiding plastic would be to reuse recyclable materials. After all, you just need to clean your water jugs in order to use them again.

Plastic comes mainly from China and Indonesia.

80% of the plastic pollution in the ocean actually comes from 20 countries alone. Hence, you just need to focus on those countries. Unfortunately, one of those countries is the United States. That does not mean the other countries are doing a good job though. It is possible they just have no opportunity to throw waste into the ocean. This is most likely related to the number of manufacturing companies in China.

Littering causes pollution in the ocean.

Unfortunately, billions of tons of litter end up in the ocean each year. Hence, if you see someone throwing trash into the ocean then you must inform that person doing that is the wrong thing to do.. In fact, the number of plastic pollution in the sea causes a decrease in marine life.

The dead zones in the ocean are growing.

Dead zones are areas in the ocean where animals have low oxygen so they will most likely die. In fact, there is a huge dead zone in an ocean that is the size of a city. We can only hope these dead zones would stop increasing as it is definitely bad news for marine animals.

We cannot see ocean pollution

Most of the ocean pollution sinks to the bottom of the sea. Therefore, it would be impossible to clean up that garbage. Volunteers of most campaigns can only dive and clean the debris that they can see.

Garbage like plastic bottles, shoes, and aluminium cans can reach the ocean if not disposed of correctly.

When these things reach the ocean, they can go back to the shore and they would also pollute the beach. Before you know it, these pieces of trash would affect the tourism industry in more ways than one. As a result, better put these things in the right trash bins and not in the ocean.

Sewage water is discharged into the water.

The problem is you can never be sure whether or not the sewage water getting dumped into the ocean is treated or not. The truth is the people doing this can hardly care about the consequences. Hence, more people need to know the consequences of their actions so they need to be more careful next time.

100 million marine animals die every year from plastic waste.

Now would be the best time to start a movement where everyone would be discouraged to throw plastic waste into the ocean. Kids do it too so they should be educated as early as possible. We should act pretty fast before it is too late.

705,000 tons of fishing nets are lost in the sea.

Fishermen are irresponsible human beings in the sense that they don't really care about marine animals. They go out to the ocean with the hopes of killing poor fishes that will end up being on their plates.

The majority of fish we eat consumed plastic.

Somehow, ocean polluters can affect the health of innocent human beings. It is one of those reasons why we should never consume fish and other animals. Going vegan is the best decision you will ever make in your life.

Africa is the source of the longest river in the world. River Nile flows about 4,258 miles across Africa. It flows northwards, where it crosses 11 countries. It flows from Lake Victoria in east Africa and empties into the red sea in Egypt. Some countries it flows through are Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi, Kenya, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Eritrea, Sudan and Egypt.

The University of Karueein is the oldest educational institution in the world. It was founded in 859 AD. The founder was Fatima al-Fihri, who established the university in Fez, Morocco. It started as a madrassa but grew to become a university. It is among the oldest institutions in the world. The University of Bologna follows it, established in Italy in 1088 AD. Bologna is the oldest university in Europe.

Mansa Musa is believed to be the wealthiest man in history. Mansa was the tenth emperor of the Mali empire. The prosperous kingdom was established in the Saharan region and controlled the slave trade routes. It is believed that he had a wealth of about us$400 billion during his death. Mansa once had a pilgrimage to Mecca, where he established cities along the way. His wealth was in the form of gold and other luxuries.

The Sahara Desert is the largest and hottest in the world. It comes at number three in terms of a length behind the arctic and Antarctica, which are cold deserts. The Sahara Desert stretches to about 3.6 million square miles. It is bigger than the USA. It covers 11 countries across the northern part of Africa. Madagascar forms the largest island in Africa.

The African elephant is the largest land animal weighing over six tons. The animal can stretch over 7 meters. The world’s tallest animal is the giraffe which can reach up to 6m in height.

The highest Bungy jumpy in the world is available in South Africa. The Bloukrans bridge Bungy reaches a height of 216 meters, making it the largest in the world. It is located on N2 highway in South Africa.

Africa is the second most populous continent in the world. It is second to Asia. As per 2018 research, Africa has about 1.3 billion people. It has a land area of 30.3 million km², including its adjacent islands.

The Serengeti in Tanzania and Maasai Mara in Kenya experience the largest migration of wild animals. About 750,000 zebras march across the game park, followed by more than 1.2 million wildebeests that migrate in search of food.

Australia is the smallest continent. This may seem unbelievable, but it is true. It is true not only concerning the physical size of the continent but also in terms of population. Australia has a small population compared to other countries. Australia has a total area of 7 668 090 square kilometers, which makes it the smallest continent in the world. The second smallest continent is South America, which covers an area of 17 982 000 square kilometers, while Antarctica covers an area of 14 596 842 square kilometers.

Australia is the only country in the world that consists of a continent. The countries that comprise a continent are Australia, Greenland, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, and New Guinea. Interestingly enough, Australia is also the smallest country in the world.

Kangaroos only exist in Australia. This may lead you to believe that kangaroos were created in Australia and nowhere else on earth since kangaroos cannot survive any place other than Australia, as indicated by their anatomy. However, this is not true.

The capital of Australia is Canberra, after Canberra was made the nation's capital in 1908. Before that, the capital was Sydney (1829-1908). Canberra became the country's new capital because it is situated on an important part of the Australian coast, which also happens to be a strategic location. The major economic centers and ports are located in that part of the country.

For 26 years, from 1901 to 1927, Melbourne was the captial city of Australia. In 1901, the Parliament of Australia decided to establish a countrywide capital. In this regard, Melbourne was chosen as the new capital of the country. It was expected that the new capital would be not only convenient for parliamentarians but also a good location for diplomatic relations as well as good communications with other countries. The construction of the Albert Hall in Blackburn began on 12 February 1926, and it is considered to be one of the most significant cultural landmarks in Australia.

Australia is home to biggest reef system on Earth. The Great Barrier Reef is composed of over 900 islands. It is estimated to be around 2,300 kilometers long and covers an area of 344,400 square miles. There are 1,500 types of coral found in the Great Barrier Reef, as well as 2 200 fish species. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Tasmania is an island that is part of the continent of Australia. It is the only island state in Australia. In fact, Tasmania is also the smallest state by area.

Fraser Island is Australia's largest sand island, and the largest sand island in the world. Fraser Island is located in Queensland, Australia, and is known as the Big Sand Island; it has an area of approximately 300 square kilometers. Fraser Island has wide white beaches which are fringed with pink and grey sand dunes, making it one of the most beautiful places in the country. Aboriginal people used to live on this island before European settlement began in 1836. The Great Sandy Strait, which separates Fraser Island from mainland Australia runs into Hervey Bay.

About 90% of the Australian population lives on the coast. This is mostly due to the high cost of land in urban areas. In addition, the climate is generally cooler close to the coast. A large number of Australians live on the coast because they are employed in the fishing industry and tourism.

Australia has the highest level of internet usage in the world, with 71% of households owning computers and homes having wireless internet access. There are more than 262 million internet users in Australia, which is equivalent to 98% of the adult population with access to at least one communications device such as a mobile phone or laptop.

Antarctica was Discovered in 1820.

The history of Antarctica started in the early 5th century when it appeared on the map that was based on the work of Macrobius Ambrosius Theodosius, a Roman philosopher. Macrobius hypothesized that there should be a continental land in the Southern Hemisphere that will counterbalance the continental land in the Northern Hemisphere. However, it was not until 1820 that the vast continent was finally discovered by explorers.

Military Activity is Prohibited in Antarctica.

The Antarctic Treaty that was entered into force in 1961 aims to promote international cooperation in terms of scientific investigation. It states that the continent should only be used for peaceful purposes and should not be an object of discord between countries. No single country owns Antarctica and military activity from any country is prohibited.

The Antarctic Ice Sheet is the Biggest in the World.

Antarctica is a huge continent that is larger than Europe and two times larger than Australia. In its vastness, the continent is known to contain about 90% of the world's ice. In fact, if the ice in the continent melts, it would raise the global ocean levels by 65 meters or 213 feet.

No Visa is Required to Visit Antarctica.

Since no country owns Antarctica, entering the continent would not require any visa but tourist companies should procure a permit from any of the countries which have signed the Antarctic Treaty. Despite its remote location, inhospitable climate, and unpredictable weather, tourist companies still bring about 37,000 visitors to the continent every year.

Only Continent with No Time Zone.

Antarctica is not officially divided into time zones and it is up to its few inhabitants to decide which time zone they prefer to use. Aside from its 37,000 visitors per year, Antarctica also has a total of 4,000 inhabitants during summer which dwindles down to 1,000 in the wintertime. These temporary inhabitants are the scientists, researchers, and photographers who camp out in small settlements on the continent.

The Sun Never Shines during Winter But it Also Never Set in the Summer.

In Antarctica, the sun never shines during winter which makes the continent freezing cold and pitch black for months on end. However, in the summer months, it's the exact opposite. The sun never sets in Antarctica during the summer which means that daylight can be enjoyed on the continent, 24 hours a day for 7 days a week for the entire season.

Antarctica is Home to Several Active Volcanoes.

Despite its frigid conditions, Antarctica has several active volcanoes including Mount Erebus. It is the highest active volcano on the continent with an existing lava lake in its inner summit crater. During a Strombolian eruption of Mount Erebus, bombs of lava are ejected at irregular intervals which changes the topography around the mountain over time.

There's an Entire Lake Buried Beneath the Ice of Antarctica.

Hiding under the ice of Antarctica is a pristine freshwater lake that measures 2.5 miles or 3.7 kilometers. It is a 25 million-year-old lake that is about the size of Lake Ontario.

There is a Large Rift Hidden Under the Ice of Antarctica.

In 2010, a rift valley was discovered by the glaciologist Dr. Robert Bingham while he was conducting fieldwork on the continent for the University of Aberdeen’s School of Geosciences. The rift measures about 6 miles or 10 kilometers across and 62 miles or 100 km long. This rift valley is large enough to rival the Grand Canyon.

Emile Marco Palma was the First Person in History to be Born in Antarctica.

In January 1979, the Argentinian government sent the then seven months pregnant Silvia Morella de Palma to the continent to deliver her child and resolve a territorial dispute in Antarctica. A total of ten people have been born in Antarctica since then, and most of them are from Argentinian and Chilean parents.

The world's fastest marathon runner is from Kenya. The Ineos 1:59:55 is the current world record for the fastest marathon ever run. Eliud Kipchoge, a long-distance runner from Kenya, is the man behind this new record set during the Nike Breaking 2 marathon in Italy. Kipchoge, who started running in 2003, took his first steps into professional running in 2009 and has since gone on to win many races including Berlin Marathon three times and London Marathon twice.

Kenya is home to the first-ever recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. The history of Kenya is as rich as that of its people and many Kenyan achievements are now global. The first recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize is still honored in Kenya, Prof Wangari Maathai. This Kenyan woman, who was born in Nyeri and has a Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in October 2004. She is also well known for her years of work fighting for gender equality and women's rights in Kenya.

She also served as an elected Member of Parliament from 1997 to 2013. In addition to her political career, Maathai has worked as a consultant for many international organizations such as UNDP, UNFPA, and UNIFEM. She died in Nairobi on the 25th of November, 2011.

The second largest Mountain in Africa is in Kenya. The second largest mountain on the African continent is Mount Kenya. This mountain has an elevation of over 5,200m (17,000ft) making it the highest peak in Africa. Although this mountain is miles away from its nearest neighbor, Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, it is said that trees grow on its slopes as if they were planted there by an invisible gardener.

Kenya is one of the fastest-growing countries in Africa. Kenya is one of the fastest-growing economies in Africa and has been for many years. On the African continent, Kenya has one of the highest rates of growth. It is currently ranked number four as a source of income, tourism, and foreign investment in Africa. The country's promising future stems from its natural resources including vast deposits of oil and gas, gold, and diamonds. Kenya can also boast of being an agricultural powerhouse with increasing exports such as tea, coffee, and flowers each year.

There are over 50 national parks and reserves in Kenya. Kenya has over 50 national parks and reserves, different attractions, and breathtaking views. There are all sorts of the park - from Maasai Mara National Reserve to the Tsavo West National Park where you can see cheetahs, lions, and numerous other animals. Another fun park to visit is Amboseli National Park which follows the wide open plains with beautiful grasses and trees.

The Masai Mara National Reserve is an excellent place to see the Great Migration - when thousands of wildebeest and their young come to Kenya from Tanzania hoping for water and food during the dry season.

The largest desert lake is in Kenya Lake Turkana, located in Kenya's northern desert, is one of the largest desert lakes in the world. The lake, which is about 300 miles long, is about 620 feet deep and holds 138 billion gallons of water.

Lake Turkana National Park was established in 1949 as a natural reserve for birds. In 2001 it was renamed after an ancient lake that was used by early man and was once surveyed by members of the British Royal Geographic Society (BRS) during 1868-1871.

The Great Wildebeest Migration is the largest in the world. The Great Wildebeest Migration is one of the most spectacular sights in Africa. It is one of the five most important African wildlife migrations and has been described as a must-see when visiting Kenya. The Great Wildebeest Migration happens every year in July and November when wildebeest and zebras move from Tanzania's Serengeti plains to Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve.

Over 1 million wildebeest, giraffe, and antelopes migrate at a time that just keeps on increasing. The migration starts in the plains of Serengeti National Park and follows the rest of Kenya's plains, finally coming to an end in Masai Mara National Reserve.

The country's most valuable export is Coffee. Kenya is one of the world's largest coffee exporters. It is also a significant producer of tea and flowers. The export earnings from these two crops combined make up a substantial portion of Kenya's economy. Coffee is one of Kenya's main exports and has been so since the colonial era when it was first planted in Kiambu Province. Kenya produces only 10 percent of the world's coffee. The total coffee production in Kenya is around 250,000 tons per year. The top Kenyan coffee-growing regions are Mount Elgon, Kericho, Central Province, Nyeri, and Kakamega.

Cars are driven on the right-handed side. Unlike most countries in Europe and Asia, Kenya drives on the right-hand side of the road. This is also the case in most countries in South-Eastern Asia and Europe. The reason for this is that during the colonial era, the British drove on the right-hand side of the road even though most Europeans drive on the left-hand side of their cars. This was done to avoid collisions with oncoming traffic. In the past, this was also the case in Africa. However, car manufacturers have changed this to make it easier for drivers to change sides of the road.

Kenya was a British Colony between 1895 and 1963. Kenya was a British Colony between 1895 and 1963. However, the British were not the first to colonize Kenya. Having formed a successful empire in southern Africa, the Portuguese had arrived in the area in 1498 but were driven out by the British by 1894. This is why it was only the British who established a long-term presence and eventually controlled the country. They ruled through a series of treaties with local chiefs, set up tribal councils, and established public schools. The system of governance changed slightly after independence from Britain in 1963 when Kenya became a fully independent republic.

When a butterfly lands on a flower, it uses its feet to taste the nectar. If it's tasty, the butterfly will continue drinking.

When butterflies are together, they're called flutter. This term can be used to describe a group of any size, from just a few butterflies to millions.

Butterflies are social creatures and often gather in large groups. In addition, to flutter, a group of butterflies can also be called a swarm or a gaggle.

Some butterflies mimic the appearance of other animals, such as wasps and bees. This type of mimicry is called Batesian mimicry.

Batesian mimicry is named after British naturalist Henry Bates, who first described it in 1862. In Batesian mimicry, a harmless species (the mimic) resembles a dangerous species (the model). This resemblance confers a survival advantage to the mimic, as predators learn to avoid both the mimic and the model.

The Western Pygmy Blue is the smallest butterfly in the world, with a wingspan of fewer than 0.5 inches (1.3 cm). This butterfly is found in North America.

The Western Pygmy Blue is so small that it can often be mistaken for a moth. It's also one of the shortest-lived butterflies, with a lifespan of just two to three weeks.

Butterflies can see ultraviolet light, which is invisible to humans. This ability allows them to find flowers that are rich in nectar.

Ultraviolet light is a type of electromagnetic radiation that has a shorter wavelength than visible light. It's often used in Insect UV traps, which use ultraviolet light to attract and kill insects.

Butterflies have two sets of wings: the forewings and the hindwings. The forewings are larger and more colorful, while the hindwings are smaller and less brightly colored.

Butterflies can fly up to 25 miles per hour (40 km/h), making them one of the fastest flying insects.

The speed of a butterfly's flight depends on its size and the amount of wind. Smaller butterflies typically fly slower than larger butterflies, and butterflies fly faster in calm conditions than in windy conditions.

Butterflies are found on every continent except Antarctica. There are an estimated 20,000 species of butterflies in the world.

The vast majority of butterfly species are found in tropical regions, with South America and Africa having the most diversity. However, there are also a significant number of butterfly species in temperate and Arctic regions.

Butterflies undergo a process called metamorphosis, which is a complete transformation from caterpillar to butterfly. This process usually takes place over several weeks.

During metamorphosis, the caterpillar's body breaks down and reforms into the butterfly's body. This process is controlled by hormones, which are produced by the caterpillar's thyroid gland.

Butterflies are important pollinators, which means they help flowers to reproduce. When a butterfly visits a flower, pollen sticks to its body. This pollen is then transferred to other flowers, which helps the flowers produce seeds.

Pollination is a critical process in the life cycle of plants. Without pollinators, many plants would not be able to reproduce and would eventually become extinct.

Butterflies are one of the most important pollinators of wildflowers, and they are also important pollinators of crops such as tomatoes, potatoes, and cucumbers.

There are more than 10,000 known bird species all over the world.

Can you name 10 different types of birds? Chances are, you can only name a few. There are more than 10,000 known bird species all over the world! This number is constantly changing as new bird species are discovered. The exact number of bird species is unknown because there are probably many more that have not been discovered yet.

Birds come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.

The smallest bird all over the world is the bee hummingbird. It is about 2.5 inches long and weighs less than a penny! The largest bird all over the world ostrich which can weigh up to 350 pounds and is taller than most humans.

Birds are found all over the world.

There are birds on every continent except Antarctica. The Arctic is home to many different types of birds, including the snow goose, ptarmigan, and tundra swan. This means that there are birds in every climate, from the coldest to the hottest.

Birds have a variety of beak shapes and sizes depending on their diet.

Some birds, like the pelican, have long beaks for scooping up fish. Others, like the parrot, have strong beaks for cracking open seeds. This enables them to eat a variety of foods and also helps them to survive in different habitats. The shape of a bird's beak can tell you a lot about what it eats. For example, a hummingbird has a long, thin beak for sipping nectar from flowers.

Birds can fly, but not all of them can.

Birds that cannot fly are called flightless birds. Some examples of flightless birds are the ostrich, emu, and kiwi. These birds have evolved to not need the ability to fly because they live in environments where there are no predators or they have developed other means of defense, such as the ostrich's powerful legs.

Birds have feathers.

Feathers are unique to birds and help them to fly. They are also used for insulation and keeping the bird's body dry. This is why you will often see birds preening, or cleaning their feathers. Did you know that not all feathers are the same? The type of feathers a bird has depends on its lifestyle. For example, ducks and other waterbirds have waterproof feathers that help them to float on water. Birds that live in cold climates, like penguins, have feathers that are thick and dense to keep them warm.

Birds eat a variety of things, depending on the species.

Some birds, like the hummingbird, eat nectar from flowers. Others, like the vulture, eat carrion (dead animals). Some birds, like the penguin, eat fish. And some, like the woodpecker, eat insects. They are also known to eat fruits, seeds, and leaves.

Birds are social creatures and live in groups called flocks.

Flocks can be made up of anywhere from a few birds to thousands of birds. Birds flock together often. communicate with each other using sounds and body language.

Birds are interesting and unique creatures.

Each species has its own set of qualities and behaviors that make it special. For example, did you know that the ostrich can run faster than a horse? Or that some birds, like the kea, are known for being mischievous?

Birds are warm-blooded creatures.

This means that their body temperature is regulated and stays constant, regardless of the temperature of their environment. They can do this because they have feathers. Feathers insulate the bird's body and help to keep it warm.
