Since a full moon on the winter solstice occurred in conjunction with a lunar perigee (point in the moon's orbit that is closest to Earth), the moon appeared about 14% larger than it does at apogee (the point in it's elliptical orbit that is farthest from the Earth).
    Since the Earth is also several million miles closer to the sun at that time of the year than in the summer, sunlight striking the moon was about 7% stronger making it brighter. Also, this was the closest perigee of the Moon of the year since the moon's orbit is constantly deforming. In places where the weather was clear and there was a snow cover, even car headlights were superfluous.
62. According to security equipment specialists, security systems that utilize motion detectors won't function properly if walls and floors are too hot. When an infrared beam is used in a motion detector, it will pick up a person's body temperature of 98.6 degrees compared to the cooler walls and floor.
    If the room is too hot, the motion detector won't register a change in the radiated heat of that person's body when it enters the room and breaks the infrared beam. Your home's safety might be compromised if you turn your air conditioning off or set the thermostat too high while on summer vacation.

1.The first mobile telephone call was made on April 3, 1973 by Martin Cooper, a former Motorola inventor, who is known as "the father of the cellphone".

2.From Sixth Avenue in New York he rang the boss of a rival manufacturer who was less than thrilled to discover that he had lost the race to develop a portable, hand–held device. Cooper later recalled: "There was silence at the other end of the line. I suspect he was grinding his teeth."

3.The weight of the phone used to make that call was about the same as a bag of sugar (2lb). The brick–like battery required, which allowed a talk time of just 30 minutes and took 10 hours to charge, made carting it around even more of a chore.
 
4.A decade later in 1983 the first mobile phones went on sale in the US costing about £2,500 each. By 1990 there were a million users.

5.The first mobile phone call made in the UK was in 1985 when comedian Ernie Wise called from London to Vodafone's offices in Newbury, Berkshire. Mobile phones went on sale here two years later costing £1,200 each and became the must–have gadget of the yuppie. They entered popular culture when Del Boy was seen brandishing one in hit TV series Only Fools And Horses. Nine out of 10 adults in the UK now have a mobile phone.6.Voicemail was first added to mobile phones in 1986, followed 10 years later by the first laborious internet access from handsets.

7.Long before the iPhone there was IBM Simon. Released in 1993 this bulky gadget was the first smartphone and had calendar, fax, touch screen and a host of other features – all for about £500.8.The bestselling single model is the Nokia 1100, made in Finland. More than 250million devices were snapped up, also making the phone the top–selling electrical gadget in history, ahead of the PlayStation 2. The phones are still highly sought after on the second–hand market and sales boomed after a false rumour that a software glitch allowed fraudulent bank transactions to be carried out using the device.

9.Mobile phone texting was first introduced 21 years ago. Neil Papworth, a 22–year–old software programmer from Reading, sent the first message when he wished his friend Richard Jarvis of Vodafone: "Merry Christmas." At the time mobile phones didn't have keyboards so it was sent via personal computer.

10.The first photo to be shared using a mobile phone was taken in 1997 by Philippe Kahn. He sent snaps from the maternity ward where his daughter Sophie was born. Kahn, an inventor from France, is credited with developing the world's first camera phone.

11.Celina Aarons, from Florida, is thought to hold the dubious honour of having racked up the highest ever mobile phone bill. She neglected to change her calling plan to an international one when the phone was used for two weeks in Canada. The result was a £142,000 bill, which was later reduced to £1,800 by the phone company.

12.In the UK a mobile phone is stolen every three minutes. The Metropolitan Police claim that such thefts account for one third such thefts account for one third of all street robberies in London. Inventors are working on the idea of keeping your sim card safe by inserting it into your forearm.

13.The Sonim XP3300 Force is recognised by the Guinness World Records as the toughest phone. It survived after an 84ft drop on to a layer of concrete without suffering any operational damage.

14.Drivers' reactions are a third slower when talking on a handheld mobile than when under the influence of alcohol.

15.Fake trees and cacti, which are used to conceal mobile phone masts, have become an art form and featured in photographic exhibitions. Following complaints about the appearance of the 40,000 masts in the UK, companies have developed ingenious disguises. Next time you're out take a closer look at that chimney, clock, drainpipe or weather vane.

16.The first cell phone to be used by James Bond was an Ericsson JB988 in Tomorrow Never Dies in 1997. The handset contained various fictional extras such as a fingerprint scanner, lock pick, stun gun and remote control for 007's BMW car.

 VITAL LINK: Today there are five billion handsets in circulation

17.The most common use for a mobile is neither calling nor texting but checking the time.
The world's most expensive mobile phone carries a £6.7million price tag. The height of luxury or vulgarity, depending on your point of view, it's a version of the iPhone. The device is made from solid gold, encrusted with 500 diamonds and comes in a platinum box.

18.Phantom calls to the police are a big problem. Even if a phone is locked emergency calls can still be made accidentally. At one time UK police forces were receiving 11,000 phantom calls a day. In the US two men were caught breaking into a car after one accidentally dialled 911 and officers overheard everything.

19.The most common use for a mobile is neither calling nor texting but checking the time. This has prompted concerns texting will bring about the death of the wristwatch.

20.More than 180million iPhones have been sold to date. If you turn them sideways and line them up, they measure more than 12,700 miles. Someone has bothered to work out that's long enough to build a bridge from Rio de Janeiro to Shanghai, go halfway around the world or circle Pluto almost three times.

Modern devices can weigh less than 3oz and around the world there are now five billion mobile telephones. In the UK the volume of calls from mobile phones first exceeded the volume of calls from fixed phones in 2011. The mobile phone industry is the fastest–growing in the world.

Earth Facts – 10 Interesting Facts about Earth | Planet

1. The Earth Generates $72 Trillion of Goods and Services Each Year
 
Earth FactsWhen we look at Earth facts, we look at the planet we call home. The incredible natural resources and the ingenuity of the people that live on Earth combine to make an impressive output of goods and services that are traded to sustain, inform and entertain.

The sheer scale of the world economy is mind-boggling. Earth facts teach us that each year, humankind produces $72 trillion worth of goods and services.

Whether these are tangible goods or not, we’re using the natural resources of the Earth to produce them. After all, everyone is breathing the Earth’s atmosphere!

When we examine historical Earth facts, we see that the production of goods and services across the world really took off about 200 years ago with the dawn of the Industrial Age.

Humankind has gotten really good at exploiting the many materials the Earth has to offer, including forging metals mined from the surface at extreme temperatures that are as hot as lava from a volcano.

2. The Word ‘Earth’ Has Been on Earth for 7,000 Years
 
Looking at Earth facts about the word Earth, we learn that not everyone agrees whether the word should be capitalized. Originally, the word earth wasn’t capitalized. Once the word Earth began to be used in scientific circles, it started to be capitalized when compared to other planets, such as Mars, Neptune and Jupiter.

Following the historical Earth facts about the etymology of the word Earth, we see that it comes from Old English, which is one of the Germanic languages. The form is found even earlier in proto-Germanic as something like erde.

Digging deeper into historical Earth facts, we find that the proto-Germanic word dates back to the time of the Proto-Indo Europeans. This early culture dates from some time around 5000 BCE.

Linguists have revealed Earth facts about the origin of the word, and it was likely pronounced something more like h’er. The word changed over time until it became the word that we pronounce as earth today. These Earth facts are great fun facts about Earth for kids because it shows how language can change over thousands of years.

3. The Earth Isn’t a Perfect Sphere – It Has a 27 Mile Tall Bulge at Its Belly
 
We don’t need Earth facts to tell us that it’s not polite to talk about your mother’s weight. Many people call Earth Mother Earth because the planet sustains all life as we know it. In the same way a mother feeds and protects her children, Earth feeds and protects all of humanity.

Earth facts regarding the shape of Earth show that our planet is not a perfect sphere. There is a bulge around the center of the Earth. This is what’s considered an oblate spheroid; it’s like a squashed ball.

This bulge around the center of the Earth means the diameter at the equator is 43 kilometers, or 27 miles, larger than the diameter going top to bottom or from the North Pole to the South Pole.

4. The Earth Is 32.1% Iron and 30.1% Oxygen
 
When we examine geological Earth facts we find that the Earth is made up of a handful of elements and a sprinkling of trace elements. The Earth is the densest planet of the solar system. Let’s take a look at some fun Earth facts about the elements that make up the Earth.

The Earth is strong! Earth facts tell us that it is 32.1% iron. Surprisingly, oxygen accounts for 30.1%. This is due to the number of oxides that make up the Earth. Silicon, which makes computer chips, makes up 60.2% of the Earth’s crust and 15.1% of the total elements in the Earth.

Magnesium makes up 13.9% of the Earth, sulfur makes up 2.9%, and nickel and calcium both account for over 1.5% of the Earth. Aluminum makes up 1.4% of the Earth and the remaining metals account for only 1.2%.

From these facts, it’s clear why certain elements are valuable. A metal like gold is only a trace element compared to the mass of the Earth. Looking at the distribution of elements in the Earth, Earth facts show that nearly 90% of all iron on Earth is in the core.

5. The Center of the Earth, at 10,380 °F, Is as Hot as the Sun
 
Earth facts tell us about the shocking conditions at the Earth’s core. Geothermal power is produced by the radiant energy coming from the Earth’s core. This radiant energy is what heats volcanoes and powers the movement of the continents on Earth through a system known as plate tectonics.

When scientists look at what causes this heat, it appears that 20% of the heat is still the Earth cooling off from when all the rocks slammed together to form the planet in the early solar system. Another 80% of this heat occurs in the form of radioactive decay.

According to Earth facts, radioactive potassium, uranium and thorium are all present in the Earth’s core, and are giving off a lot of heat. So much heat, in fact, that the temperature of the Earth’s core is as hot as the surface of the sun, at more than 10,000 °F!

Based on the fact that much of this heat energy comes from radioactive decay, it’s likely that when the Earth formed, before the half-life of many isotopes had been reached, the Earth might have been putting out twice as much energy from the core.

6. If The Earth Was Smooth, A 1.5 Mile Deep Ocean Would Cover the World
 
While we might think that Earth facts would teach us about the different oceans on Earth, the truth is, there is actually only one ocean on Earth. The names for the different oceans on Earth are really man-made constructs, just like the borders between countries.

All of the Earth’s oceans connect to form one large ocean that covers over 70% of the Earth’s surface. There’s a lot more water than land on the surface of the Earth. While the oceans only cover the surface of the Earth, they account for 1/4400 of the mass of the Earth.

There is a lot of water in the Earth’s ocean. If the Earth was totally smooth, with no mountains, or valleys on land, or underwater, the result would be a 2.7 kilometer, or 1.5 mile, deep ocean that covered the entire surface of the Earth.

7. It’s Hard to Tell Where Earth’s Atmosphere Ends and Space Begins
 
Another of the surprising Earth facts is that there is no clear boundary between the Earth’s atmosphere and outer space. While we typically think of the Earth as this perfect sphere, we already know from our Earth facts that it’s more like a squashed ball.

Looking at the edge of the atmosphere, Earth facts become a little blurry. The atmosphere slowly becomes thinner and thinner until it fades into outer space. There’s no clear line or sign that says welcome to outer space.

The atmosphere of Earth is one of the unique features that allows such an amazing array of life forms to exist on the planet. The atmosphere, in conjunction with the magnetosphere, protects us and the other forms of life on Earth from some of the most harmful energy that’s produced by the Sun.

8. Going as Fast as the Earth You Could Reach the Moon in 3.5 Hours
 
Earth facts about speed are blazing fast facts. The speed at which the Earth orbits the Sun is over 100,000 kilometers per hour, or over 66,000 miles per hour!

Moving at that speed, you could reach the moon in 3.5 hours, and you could travel the whole way around the Earth in about seven minutes.

When we look at Earth facts about how fast the Earth rotates, we find that it’s spinning fast, too. The Earth is spinning at 1,675 kilometers per hour, or over 1,040 miles per hour!

Because the Earth is spinning so fast, at the equator, the centrifugal force caused by the Earth spinning pushes against the gravity pulling objects towards the Earth. Someone who weighs 150.8 lbs. at the North Pole would only weigh 150 lbs. at the equator.

When someone tells you that life moves slow, tell them some of these Earth facts and they might think we’re all living life in the fast lane!

9. When the Earth Was Formed, a Day Was Only 5.5 Hours Long
 
We already know from our Earth facts that the Earth is spinning fast. It’s shocking to learn that the Earth, spinning at over 1,000 miles per hour, is actually slowing down.

The cause of the slowdown is the moon! One of the most surprising Earth facts is that the moon has such a big impact on the Earth. The friction caused by the Moon and other objects, such as other planets, pulls on the Earth and slows it down.

This is a good thing, when you consider each year the length of a day gets a little longer. Based on the rate that the Earth is slowing down, when the moon first formed billions of years ago, the Earth was rotating so fast, that a day was only 5.5 hours long. That must have made for some fast sunsets!

10. 77% of the Earth’s Population Lives in the Northeastern Quadrasphere
 
First let’s look at the Earth facts that tell us what a quadrasphere is. The Earth is typically divided into Northern and Southern or Eastern and Western hemispheres. Well, the name given to the northern part of the Eastern hemisphere or the western part of the Northern hemisphere is a quadrasphere, which is one half the size of a hemisphere.

Earth facts teach us that 90% of Earth’s population lives in the Northern Hemisphere. Going by the most recent counts, we also find that 86% of the Earth’s population lives in the Eastern Hemisphere. Putting these two facts together, we find that 77.4% of the people that live on Earth live in the Northeastern quadrasphere, or the northern part of the Eastern hemisphere.

Interesting Facts about Earth Summary
Earth facts teach us about the amazing planet that we call home. This fast moving planet is spinning at over 1,000 miles per hour and the temperature at its core is over 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit!

Many people call Earth Mother Earth, and the planet’s unique atmosphere protects and sustains life in conjunction with the magnetosphere and the geological movements of the planet itself.

When Earth was born, it was hotter and was spinning faster. While life may seem like it gets more hectic each year, the Earth is actually cooling down and slowing down. Maybe we should take a lesson from Mother Earth and things would be more peaceful here!

Titanic Facts – 10 Amazing Facts about the Titanic

1. The Name Titanic is Over 2,500 Years Old

Titanic FactsOne Titanic fact has its roots further back in history than you might think. When the builders of the Titanic were searching for a name, they wanted a name for the ship that meant huge. They also wanted a name that elevated the Titanic as a monumental work of shipbuilding. The shipbuilders Harland and Wolff chose a name from Greek mythology.

The name Titanic comes from Titan. In Greek mythology, Titans were the ancient Gods of Greece. Thought to be giants, Titans were overthrown by a race of younger Gods, the Olympians, including Zeus and Athena. Once you know this, it’s not surprising to learn that the Titanic’s sister ship was named the Olympic. The two ships were constructed at the same time and were incredibly similar in design.

2. 7 People Died on the Titanic Before it Launched

It’s a gruesome Titanic fact that people died during the building of the ship and her sister ship, the Olympic. The Titanic was built over 100 years ago, between 1908 and 1911, and the health and safety conditions of the workers were nowhere near those that we have today. Workers didn’t even wear hard hats when they were building the Titanic!

Six people died on the ship itself during the construction of the Titanic, and 246 injuries were recorded. This sad Titanic fact may have foretold the tragic fate of the ocean liner. It’s a spooky Titanic fact that another worker was killed right before the ship’s launch. It almost seems as though the ship was cursed from the start. We should remember, though, that poor safety conditions in the early 1900s led to many deaths on other major projects, such as the building of the Panama Canal.

3. The Steel Rivets on the Titanic Weighed Over 1,200 Tons

Perhaps it was all the boasting about the size of the ship that first made Titanic facts a part of our culture, even before the ship was launched. The White Star Line that commissioned the building of the Titanic wanted to boast to its passengers that they had built the biggest ship in the world.

Nearly every Titanic fact regarding the size of the ship deserves an exclamation point. The steel rivets holding together all the metal on the ship alone weighed over 1,200 tons! The rudder of the ship had to be steered with engines, and weighed in at over 100 tons! The two main reciprocating engines that powered the ship weighed over 700 tons! The ship was built on such a massive scale that it’s still huge, even by today’s standards.

The Titanic was identical to its sister ship, the Olympic, except for some minor differences. The Titanic had a steel screen with sliding windows installed on one of its decks. The screen was added to give first class passengers more shelter from the elements. Perhaps it was more the feeling of protection that the builders wanted the first class passengers to have. Because of the screen and other changes, the Titanic was slightly heavier than the Olympic, and could rightly claim the title of the largest ship afloat at the time.

4. The Titanic was a Massive Polluter Burning 600 Tons of Coal per Day

With all that weight to move as the biggest ship afloat, the Titanic was probably the most polluting ship of its time! Steam power was the only power source in those days that could deliver the over 40,000 horsepower that was needed to move the Titanic through the water. We can’t quite call it a green Titanic fact — the Titanic used over 600 tons of coal each day it was at sea!

It took over 170 workers, working 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to feed the furnaces powering the steam engines on the Titanic. There were over 150 furnaces on the ship, heating nearly 30 boilers to create the steam that powered the engines. Each day, 100 tons of ash had to be jettisoned into the sea. This was non-stop, around the clock! The furnaces were constantly burning coal to keep the ship moving.

5. The Mail Room in the Titanic Handled 60,000 Pieces of Mail Each Day

One interesting Titanic fact is that it was commissioned to be more than just a passenger liner. The RMS in the ship’s official name, RMS Titanic, stands for Royal Mail Ship. The Titanic was under contract with the Royal Mail Service and the United States Post Office. Like most other Titanic facts, the amount of mail the ship carried was huge. Get ready for another exclamation point…there was over 25,000 cubic feet of storage on the ship for mail, letters and parcels alone!

The Titanic was almost like a floating city. The ship generated as much electricity as a city at the time. Like any other city, the Titanic had its own post office. The Sea Post Office on the Titanic had five postal clerks who worked seven days a week sorting mail. There was so much mail, that they sorted up to 60,000 pieces each day!

6. There Were Only Enough Lifeboats for 1,178 People on The Titanic

Of all the Titanic facts, this one tells us the most about what happened on the fateful day of the sinking of the Titanic. The Titanic had the capacity to hold over 60 lifeboats. With 16 sets of davits that could each handle four lifeboats, the ship could hold exactly 64 lifeboats. Get ready for some more math…with each lifeboat capable of holding 65 people, these 64 lifeboats would have been enough to carry the roughly 3,500 passenger maximum capacity of the Titanic.

It’s a sad Titanic fact that the Titanic wasn’t even at full capacity on its maiden voyage. It had only 2,223 passengers and crew when it sank, yet it still did not have enough lifeboats. Although the Titanic could hold over 60 lifeboats, there were only 20 lifeboats in total. There were 14 standard lifeboats, each capable of carrying 65 people, four more collapsible lifeboats that could carry 47 people each, and two emergency cutters that could carry 40 people each. Don’t put your calculator away…that means the Titanic only had enough lifeboats for 1,178 people!

And that’s why the sinking of the Titanic became such a tragedy. On the night of the RMS Titanic’s sinking, there simply weren’t enough lifeboats to save everyone on the liner.

7. 1,045 More People Could Have Been Saved on the Titanic

This is possibly the most controversial of the Titanic facts. There was another ship charting the ice-filled waters of the Atlantic on that fateful night, the SS Californian. The Californian warned the Titanic of pack ice via the early wireless communication system the ships employed. It was April 14th, 1912, and the Californian stopped for the night to avoid hitting any icebergs, and cautioned the Titanic to do the same.

The Titanic’s wireless operator criticized the Californian for being too cautious. Perhaps it was all the boasting at the time of the ship’s construction. Maybe it was the legendary and historic name of the ship. Whatever the case, the Titanic took no such precautions. After the Titanic struck the iceberg, the crew launched flares to attract the attention of nearby ships.

The SS Californian saw the flares, but did not take action. The captain of the Californian instructed his crew to send Morse code signals via lamp. He then went to sleep, telling his crew to inform him if the other ship responded to any signals. It’s likely the Titanic was simply too far way to see the signals.

It was early in the morning on the following day that the Californian finally tried to reach nearby ships using its wireless system. The crew soon learned what happened and went to try and help rescue the passengers of the Titanic, but it was too late and another nearby ship, the Carpathia, had already picked up any remaining survivors. The Californian was closer than the Carpathia to the Titanic. Had they responded with wireless instead of Morse lamps, they may have been able to save more passengers. While the number of lifeboats was not enough to save the passengers, there may have been enough to ferry everyone safely to the sanctuary of the Californian.

8. It Took Over 70 Years for the Titanic Wreck to Be Found

It wasn’t until 1985 that the wreck of the Titanic was found. Shortly after this, more Titanic facts began to emerge. It had long been debated whether the Titanic had sunk in one piece. One of the passengers of the Carpathia described a scene that was illustrated, showing the Titanic breaking in half before sinking. It was never a proven Titanic fact, until the wreck was found.

In September of 1985, a team of French and American explorers succeeded in finding the wreck of the Titanic. The Titanic had broken in two, and more Titanic facts were to be confirmed. The team showed that the Titanic had sunk more than 13 miles from the coordinates provided by the wireless operators on the ship.

9. The Most Valuable Item on the Titanic Was a $100,000 Painting

Despite rumors, one Titanic fact that’s really a myth is that there was a lot of gold on-board. The most expensive item, according to filings after the sinking, was a $100,000 painting. It’s ironic that many years later, some of the items retrieved from the Titanic have gained value because of the huge cultural meaning the ship has.

Most of the items held in the Titanic’s cargo were everyday things — food, furniture, and even some automobiles. The wreck has been declared a world heritage site to prevent anyone from taking any further items for their own commercial gain.

10. The Titanic Movie Broke All Previous Box Office Records

Perhaps it’s because of the huge boasts of the Titanic as the ‘unsinkable ship’ and then its tragic sinking. Even to this day, kids and adults from all over the world find Titanic facts compelling. The film Titanic, directed by James Cameron and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, is possibly the most well known of the many stories and movies relating to the great liner.

The movie does not contain a lot of new Titanic facts, as it is a drama and not a documentary. However, it’s clear that James Cameron researched a lot of Titanic facts when he made the film. All the sets were made to be exact recreations of the ship, and the timing of the events during the sinking were taken from eyewitness accounts.

Facts about Titanic Summary
The details of the RMS Titanic’s sinking and Titanic facts fascinate people from all walks of life, all over the world. The story of this large ocean liner holds a place in our shared cultural memory. From kids to adults, everyone has an interest in the Titanic. There are countless movies and stories about the sinking of the Titanic, and many well-known facts about its construction, and the famous boast of it being an ‘unsinkable ship’.

Despite the tragic history of the Titanic, one positive Titanic fact is that the sinking of the ship led to greater safety standards. Requirements for lifeboats and wireless communication systems aboard ships were strengthened and more widely enforced after the sinking of what was then the world’s largest ship afloat.
