Nature is beautiful and amazing because we can see many amazing things happening in different part of the world. Check out these 15 things that you won’t believe they actually exist. All these places are real. It is hard to believe in that, but that is true.
10 strange and mind-blowing facts about nature
No doubt about it...nature is an amazing thing! But, there are some facts about nature that are completely mind blowing! Below are 10.
- there are 12 times more trees on earth than stars in the milky way.
Scientists estimate there are between 200 - 400 billion stars in our galaxy while there are an estimated 1 trillion trees on Earth. Counting stars seems like an impossible task, but the way scientists came up with that number can be found in this article.
- there was a time when 4 distinct human species lived at the same time
After carefully studying hominin fossils found in Kenya, Ethiopia and Chad, German scientists have concluded that 4 distinct human species coexisted at the same time about 3 million years ago. What isn’t known is how or if they are related and whether they interacted with one another.
- cows kill more people than sharks.
Hard to believe, but true. Sharks kill an average of 5 people per year while cows kill an average of 22 people per year. In fact, humans are more deadly to sharks than they are to humans. Humans kill about 100 million sharks per year!
- it’s unlikely that anyone could die in quicksand
You know all those movies and TV shows where someone very dramatically gets swallowed up by quicksand. It’s just that...dramatic, but not true. This is because most quicksand is only a few inches deep. If someone does die in quicksand it usually occurs in tidal basins. The person gets stuck, then drowns when the tide comes in.
- you can fit all of the planets in the milky way between the earth and moon with a little space left over.
Mind. Blown. If you don’t believe me, there’s a nifty graphic in this article that shows how they all fit
- lobsters don’t die of old age
There is some disagreement on this fact and it kind of all boils down to semantics. The explanation is long and very scientifically technical. So, I’ll let this article explain it.10 strange and mind-blowing facts about nature
