Q1 Do you want to sharesomething new? A1 Lalit Sharma Fri Engineer,Entrepreneur , Motivator, Teacher, Learner, Etc · 5+years in Teaching Futuretechnologies in Pune Believe me This is petrol. Yeah the same petrol you get at Filling stations. But but But… This isthe petrol being delivered at the very first stage. This is what it looks like whenextracted from Crude oil by fractional Distillation process.(COLOURLESS- Picture not added) All your life you must have seen the colourful petrol. Right?You arecorrect, the colours (Dyes)are added post this stage To identify the petrol easily from water since it looks like water and soit prevents mishaps also. It is easy to identify water contamination in fuel when they are colourful. Now some Fuels are green some red, that also indicates octane numbers andas norms set by governments of different countries. Colour coding is different in different states depends on factors.

A2 Shared by Adarsh Gupta March3 2021 Yes I have. And it was worth the money spent. ₹1324 perperson which includes 2 course meal and other facilities. We boarded the train from New Delhi railway station at around 6:00 in themorning, and reached Varanasi by 2:00 pm sharp. Commendable punctuality. Properly used up space & no congestion. We were offered newspapers inthe very beginning, andserved tea/coffee of good brands with biscuits (couldn’t click photo) After 2 hours we were served coffee/tea with a sumptuous breakfast :) Lunch was served 2 hours before the destination & had Daal tadka,chilly paneer, tandoori roti, rice, mix veg, pickle & Gulab jamun :)) froma very reputed hotel. Other services like the attendants, leg space, luggage space wereamazing! Best part,washrooms were pretty clean. It might sound weird, but my favouritepart were the big windows so that I could have an uninterrupted view ofoutside. My return journey from my hometown to Delhi was also by Vande BharatExpress & I so didn’t want to leave it. Q3 What actiongenerates/creates gravity? A3 Ankit Shrivastava AnsweredOctober 8, 2014 Is it the circular motion that generates it? Does sun rotate or it juststays there and burns out? How does the sun keep the planets in orbit? Is thegravity of Earth more than that of Sun, is that what keeps the Moon aroundearth? Woah! Hold your horses... Too many questions at once. Let's try to answer these oneat a time. What creates gravity? No it is not the circular motion that creates it. Gravity is one of thefundamental forces and that too a weak force. Any object that has mass exerts gravitational force on any every otherobject which possesses mass. It is also postulated that the mass is created due to subatomic particlescalled Higgs Bosons, your beloved God particle. The mathematical formula for Gravitational force goes like this: G here is the gravitational constant. G = 6.67384 × 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2 The force is directlyproportional to the masses of the objects and inversely proportional to thedistance between them. Sun, Earth, Moon and all theother space bodies have enormous mass and going by the mentioned formula, theyall exert huge forces on each other. When the universe was evolving, it is assumed that the different heavenlybodies were in a state of chaosafter the big bang and they were all in a state of motion, because of theinitial force from big bang explosion. As these objects clustered and created mass, they started exertinggravitational forces on nearby bodies which were lying in space. Now two forces were into the picture in this situation, the heavier ones were pulling theother objects towards their side and the already linear motion of thesecondary object. These two forces balanced out ina state of sustained circular motion. In the circular motion, Gravitational force was balanced out by thecentrifugal force which prevents the planet from collapsing into the sun. This interaction of forceshappened with all the other planets in the solar system. The forces got balanced and we have a stablemotion of planets around the sun. Is it the circular motion that generates gravity? No, in fact as I explained earlier, it is the circular motion whichstarted due to the gravitational force. Does the sun rotate or it juststays there? For anything to rotate, itrequires a force. It isoften romanticized to imagine sun as rotating on its axis in the centre of thesolar system but theories suggest against it. Universe is expanding, nothing isat rest. Sun is a star and it is always burning. There is complete chaos within it and it doesn't have a solid surface.Sun is a ball of burning hydrogen and Helium gases so rotation as a concept aswe know it doesn't even apply to it. On the other hand, Sun is believed to be in a continuous linear motion. It might be itself revolving around some otherheavenly body, may be the centre of the milky way galaxy. Sun itself is in motion and all the planets and asteroids revolve aroundsun in a 3-D motion, like a spiral, changing their plane every moment. In this picture one can see the motion of sun in a linear way and all theplanets are catching up with sun intheir respective revolution paths making spirals in the space matrix. This is simply mind blowing. How does the Sun keeps theplanets in orbit? I have already answered this part earlier in the answer how the variousmotions got balanced to form a stable circular motion. Is Earth's gravity more thanSun? NO!A big NO. It is infact nothing in comparison to the gravity of Sun. As I mentioned in the formula above,the gravitational force is a function of mass. The mass of sun is many manytimes that of earth and that's why Sun exerts much more gravitational force. Is this what keeps Moon around Earth? The gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon is what keeps itaround. Moon is Earth's satellite and it is quite near the Earth as compared toany other massive entity. Similar story happened, moon came across earth'sgravitational influence and became bound to revolve around it till eternity. Hope I helped in clearing your questions. Q4 Why are pineapples notgrown in the continental United States? A4 Glenn R. Anderson Sun Historyteacher My brother and his wife bought a lakefront house in Orlando from an oldwoman who hated the neighbourhood children. Because shefeared they would come on to her yard she planted pineapples on ever squareinch of her property. They can be a very effective deterrent. It took five grown men 12 hoursto dig up and bag all the pineapple plants in the front and back yard. Although Hawaii and Puerto Rico are America’s largest producers ofpineapple, Florida andCalifornia also produce small amounts. Be that as it may, mostpineapples eaten in the U.S. come from Central and South America. Q5 Which is smaller amosquito or a black fly? A5 3 Answers Rosmarie Kelly, Entomologist atGeorgia Department of Public Health (2002-present)15-3-2021 That is kind of comparing apples and oranges because their body types aredifferent and different species are different sizes. 2ND ANSWER Matan Shelomi,Entomologist Updated November 4, 2016 · Featured on Slate Pest Control: For an insect that flies so slowly, why are mosquitos sobloody hard to swat? Mosquitoes fly at about two kilometers per hour (1.2mph), which soundsslow, but at their size it's like you flying over a hundred times that! Theyare going blindingly fast for something that small. You can't catch them for a fewreasons. One, they see you coming. Their eyes are big and round and multifaceted, so they are quitecapable of seeing above and behind themselves. You can't sneak up on a mosquitoeasily. Second is your hand moves slowerthan they fly and has more distance to cover. The mosquito doesn't need to move far to get away from your face, whileyour big and slow hand has to travel all the way to your head. Lastly, the mosquito makes decisionsfaster than you. When youdecide to hit a fly, a signal goes from your brain to your spinal cord to yourarm muscles to start the hand in motion. The time it takes is a fewmilliseconds (thanks to commenters at Slate for the correction). That sounds impressive,but once the mosquito sees motion, a signal from its brain goes to its nervecord to its wing muscles, and the time ends up being a fraction of ananosecond. They think and act 100 times faster than you can. Your hand neverreally had a chance! 3RD ANSWER- MarkMoore, I read books about insects. Answered June 25, 2018 What is the difference between a mosquito and a fly? Let’s get something straight here, a mosquito is a fly. Any insect thatbelongs to the order Diptera is a fly and mosquites belong to the orderDiptera, thus mosquitoes are flies. Therefore, the question needs to berephrased. Here is how the question should be phrased: How do mosquitoes differfrom other flies? First, Let’s explore the similarities that mosquitoes have with otherflies. Mosquitoes are flies. In fact,the word “mosquito” is adiminutive of the Spanish word “mosca”, which means fly. Therefore, the word“mosquito” means little fly in Spanish and the “mosca” comes from the Latinword “musca”, which means fly. Mosquitoes aren’t only flies tohave a common name that doesn’tinclude the word fly. The other flies that have a common name that doesn’t includethe word fly are midges, gnats, and lovebugs (species Plecia nearctica) There are other flies that have a similar appearance to mosquitoes. Theseflies include gnats, midges, and crane flies. Now, let’s explore thedifferences that mosquitoes have with other flies. The term fly refers to anyinsect of the order Diptera, whichincludes mosquitoes and the term mosquito refers to flies that are in thefamily Culicidae. Mosquitoes consume blood fromhumans and other animals.Most other flies don’t consume blood. However, there are exceptions. Here arethe exceptions: The genus Glossina is amonotypic genus of the familyGlossinidae. The common name of this genus is tsetse fly. Tsetse flies arefound throughout central Africa. They transmit the disease sleeping sickness,which affects humans and other animals. Black flies (family Simuliidae)of the genus Simulium suck theblood of humans. They also are capable of transmitting the tropical diseaseknown as river blindness (onchocerciasis). There are three other black flygenera (Austrosimulium, Prosimulium, and Cnephia) that suck blood from humans,but they don’t transmit any diseases to humans. The genera Lutzomyia andPhlebotomus of the familyPsychodidae suck blodd from humans. They are transmitters of the parasiticdisease leishmaniasis. There are so many things , In our hectic lives , wedon't notice them ( we do sometimes but we eventually forget ) Q6 What are the things we donot know about earth? A6 Here are 10 questions which not even scientists know withless than 5 uncertainty. (1) why does earth exist ( who created it and who created the creator andso on ) (2) where is earth ( on which side of not the 4% but 100% universe ) (3) why is earth there where it exists ( don't tell me gravitationalforce ) (4) why life on earth and not on other billion planets ( as we know from21st century ) (5) why were , how were humans created and why that fellow dog is not ascurious as us ( resarch is going in this ) (6) what's exactly at the core of the earth (7) why is earth rotating ( some scientists say it's because of the verymagnetic field which makes the compass needle point to the north pole) (8) what happens if anyone dies (obviously it is related to earth because as far as scientists know , allorganisms have died on earth itself ) (9) who is this second person and does he think somewhat like me ( you mightlaugh at this but if you think deeply , you'll get a shock ) (10) why are you reading this answer and not talking to your friend ornot walking on the moon , what's the probability and can we predict things withsome accuracy 2nd answer- MiyaAtsumu Answered 14-3-2021 There are a lot of things we do not know about the earth like a lot- alot (I mean it) but hear are some examples -what is the thing that holds our atomic bonds together -what is consciousness -is trump an alian -who is the bestmine craft player -why does life exist (intelligentlife like us is so rare humanity is super lucky that we are still alive) Etc, we do not know a lot of things it is impossible to name them alljust search on Google things we dont know about earth it will satisfy youranswering ability for a lifetime. Q7 What are some brilliantskills that will blow people's minds? A7 Ashwin Ramesh January 4,2019 Seeker · Eternal seeker of knowledge I bet you don’t know him! This is Ranchordas Pagi. He was directlyresponsible for saving thousands of Indian lives. Ranchhod Pagi belonged to a family of nomads. He was recruited by theIndian Army. The reason? He was an exceptional scout. He couldaccurately tell the number of enemy intruders, their speed and the amount ofload they were carrying just by looking at footprints. He could eventell the direction in which they had gone and if they had sat on the ground. In one of his most remarkableachievements, Ranchod Pagi traced the location of 1200 enemy soldiers hiding inthe wilderness in utter darkness. This led to a decisive Indian victory. He also helped the Indian army capture several key posts during the 1965and 1971 wars with Pakistan. The man would continue to serve the armed forces well past his 100thbirthday.He won several awards including the Sangram Medal,Samar Seva Star and Police Medal. Such was the importance of his contribution that BSF honoured him bynaming one of its Banaskantha outposts after him as Ranchhod Post. Pagi passed away in 2013 at the ripe age of 112.[1] Footnotes [1] This Unsung Rabari Herder From Kutch Played a Key Role in TwoIndo-Pak Wars Q8 What are the majordifference between Punjabis and Tamilians?

Q9 Is it safe to leave therefrigerator on if you are going out for months? A9 Prasanna Bhalerao· December26 Technology geek, Amateur Photographer, History enthusiast How “long” is “long”? Ifgoing away for a month, even two months, what I would do is empty the fridge of all contents and keep it running at minimum coolingmode. If much longer, then I would take elaborate methods to cleanthe fridge. I would clean the fridge completely at least 24 hoursbefore, switch it off and leave all doors open. Before departing, I would shutthe doors and then cover the fridge with a cover or sheet. The fridge can develop mildew and fungus when it is not working. Hence if you wish to switch it off, it isessential to remove all humidity from the compartment. Is it safe to leave it switched ON for months? Yes. I believe so. But besure to empty it completely. Q10 What touched you deeplytoday? A10 Aayushi Raj 14-3-2021 Travelinitiator (2016–present) I was travelling via train from Patna to Jaipur. The journey almost take2 days. These people board the trainin hurry due some emergency. They haven't packed any Home-made food in hurryand just packed some packaged junk food. Surviving with the packaged food may harm the health as well as stomach. They also didn't buy food from stations due to food safety and hygiene. Concerning all this, I talked with them and told them about the trainfood app. I always use food in train apps. The food served from train food appis hygenic and they take extra precaution while cooking food and delivering thefood on train. I made them install the best food delivery app which I always use, thatis RAILRESTRO APP. Ordered their favourite food. After receiving the hot and delicious food, they got very excited. Theythanked me for this. They were very happy and satisfied after taking a full meal. I would also prefer you to use this app. I am using since 2 years, andnever get disappointed. It is the best and must-have app for train journey. All the above QA are based onQuora digest to me on 15-03 - 2021. Quora answers need not be 100% correctanswers Compiled and posted by R.
