Why is an MRI so loud?

An MRI is noisy because its magnetic field is created by running electrical current through a coiled wire—an electromagnet. When the current is switched on, there is an outward force all along the coil. And because the magnetic field is so strong, the force on the coil is very large.

​​What’s the difference between Meteor, Meteorite, Meteoroid, Asteroid, Comets & Shooting Star?

Meteor:
A small particle from space that enters Earth's atmosphere, producing a bright streak of light. Burns up completely, leaving no physical evidence. Also known as a shooting star. Typically seen at night.

Meteorite:
A piece of a meteor that survives its passage through the atmosphere and lands on Earth's surface. Can be composed of rock, metal, or a combination of both. Provides valuable insights into the formation of our solar system.

Meteoroid:
A small particle from space that orbits the Sun, potentially becoming a meteor if it enters Earth's atmosphere. Can range from tiny dust grains to large boulders. Found in various orbits around the Sun.

Asteroid:
A large rocky object that orbits the Sun, often found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Can be thought of as a "minor planet." Ranges in size from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers.

Comet:
An icy body that releases gas and dust as it approaches the Sun, creating a bright tail. Originates from the outer solar system. Can be seen from Earth when close to the Sun.

Shooting Star:
A colloquial term for a meteor. A bright streak of light seen in the night sky as a small particle burns up in the atmosphere.

How many frets are on a guitar?

The pitch of each consecutive fret is defined at a half-step interval on the chromatic scale. Standard classical guitars have 19 frets and electric guitars between 21 and 24 frets, although guitars have been made with as many as 27 frets. Frets are laid out to accomplish an equal tempered division of the octave.

What percentage of our brain do we use?

The popularly and widely spread belief that we only use or have access to 10 percent of our brain's power is often used to speculate about the extent of human abilities if only we could utilize our brain's full capacity. In reality, this claim is 100 percent myth. We use all of our brain.

What makes a wave break?

As the water begins to get shallower, water movement is slowed by friction against the bottom. The waves are slowed down and pushed together. That makes each wave steeper, especially on its front side. As the water gets shallower, the waves get steeper and steeper until they fall over and break on the front side.

Why does your body get the chills?

Chills (shivering) may occur at the beginning of an infection and are usually associated with a fever. Chills are caused by rapid muscle contraction and relaxation. They are the body's way of producing heat when it feels cold. Chills often predict the coming of a fever or an increase in the body's core temperature.

Why does the moon control the tides?

The tides are due to the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on the Earth. Because the gravitational force decreases as the distance squared, the part of the Earth that is closer to the Moon or the Sun is pulled a little extra and a bulge is created.

Why are icebergs made of fresh water?

True icebergs are galcier fragments that have fallen into the sea. Glaciers are made of compacted smow, which is fresh water. Additionally, "sea ice" that forms from the freezing of sea water is also basically fresh water as well. This is because when saltwater freezes, it excludes salt from the ice crystal lattice.

Why do lakes freeze from the top down rather than the bottom up?

The reason why ice forms on the top of lakes and ponds is that once water cools below 39 degrees Fahrenheit, it becomes lighter and less dense the more it cools. This means that water expands as it freezes into ice. As a result, ice takes up more room than the water it was made from.
