HOW MUCH DOES THE SKY WEIGH?

 

How much the sky weigh?

Sky weight? A silly question.. Right? How could the sky weigh anything.. But that’s wrong.

Sky is made of atmosphere and the atmosphere contains water vapors. The Karman line which is 60 miles above the Earth’s surface is a partition between Earth’s atmosphere and the edge of the space. So, we have to measure the weight of this.

Atmospheric pressure is 15 pounds every square inch. So, it would be 60,217,344,000 pounds every square mile. Total surface area of Earth is 201,061,929 square miles. So, when we multiply them we get to know that Earth’s atmosphere weighs 12,107,415,343,900,000,000 pounds.

Now water vapor is 0.04% of our atmosphere. This significant that sky holds 4,824,146,196 gallons of water. Eight pounds every gallon is 38,593,169,564 pounds. When we add all this the answer comes to be that the sky weighs 12,107,415,382,493,169,564 pounds.  

This concludes that the sky weighs so much but we think it weighs nothing.

WHY MOON APPEARS SHINY IN THE NIGHT?   Does the moon have its own light or not? At night we all see a shiny round thing in the sky which appears in different shapes every day. Do you know what it is? It is the moon. The moon is the shiniest thing in the sky during night and many people think that it has its own light. But it is wrong. The moon does not have its own light like the bulb, lamp or sun. From all the celestial bodies in the space there are only the stars which have their own light. Even planets also do not have their own light. From the earth our eyes perceive that moon must have its own light but the reality is quite different. The rays of sun that fall on moon undergo reflection and when the reflected rays reach our eyes we are able to see the moon and perceive that moon is shining. The same is responsible for the different shapes that the moon acquires. The phases of moon are in being due to variation of the area on which the light is falling. The area of the ...
