  Whenever we think about prehistoric animals,  we always think about dinosaurs. We all do know how dinosaurs became extinct- because of an asteroid. Bu what was that asteroid and what were the other challenges that dinosaurs had to face? We'll get to know about it all in this blog! So, what do we know about dinosaurs? Dinosaurs are huge prehistoric animals that came on earth around 245 million years ago. After that, they thrived for nearly 180 million years! They became extinct 66 million years ago when an asteroid crashed onto earth! Dinosaurs were extremely large.  Why is that so? Well, this is because long time back  the oxygen level on earth was extremely high, around 35% in the atmosphere! These helped land animals to increase their body masses and therefore grow to such a large size. The period between which dinosaurs thrived is known as the Mesozoic Era. The Mesozoic Era is further divided into 3 periods- Triassic period,  Jurassic period, and finally Cr...

  Why is the sky blue? This is the most common question most of us have heard of. The sky is blue in the morning and red in the evening. Why is that so? In this post, we will get to know about it! In this image,  we can see that the sky is entirely blue with white clouds. And in this image, we can see that the sky is reddish pink. All these beautiful phenomena occur because of a specific reason.  The sun is 93 million miles away from us. The light from the sun takes 8 minutes to reach here. The light has to enter the atmosphere to reach us. We know that the atmosphere is composed of many gases and particles.  These particles act as an obstacle for the light of the sun as it enters the atmosphere. They make the light to scatter here and there, resulting the light to appear blue . Wait, how does that happen? For that, we have to take a look at the light spectrum! Have you seen a rainbow? Doesn't it look colourful? Rainbow is formed when waterdrops break the light of th...

                          We all have heard of the equation E=mc^2. In fact, whenever we think of equations, this equation comes in our mind first. But what exactly does it mean? We'll dive into this topic today! The equation  E=mc^2 was first proposed by the world renowned scientist named Albert Einstein . E =mc^2 is the same as m=e/c^2. I know these equations look so large and confusing at first, but we'll soon know it. This equation tells us that energy and mass are the same. This equation allow us to convert mass into energy.  = energy = mass = the speed of light In the equation, E stands for energy, m stands for mass, and c stands for the speed of light(which is approximately 300,000 km or 180,000 miles!). But here it says c^2,  which means speed of light squared or multiplied by itself.  To get the energy of an object, we should multiply the mass of the object to the speed of light  and mul...

THINGS YOU GOTTA KNOW BEFORE MAKING A WEBSITE!!! Today, making a website is extremely easy because of various technologies and website builders that allow you to make and publish websites with 0% code experience. If you are a beginner and you're planning to make a new website, then you are in the right place! Let's start!   1. Choosing a building platform You have to choose a website builder platform before you start making websites. The best examples of website builders for a beginner is Google Sites and Wix. Both these platforms provide easy-to-use interface for the user and the user requires 0% coding experience! 2.  Building There are many options available to make your website interactive and give it designs. There are many designs and templates to choose from.  3. Select a domain You can buy a domain from godaddy or namecheap or use a free subdomain provided by your website builder. 4. Publish Publish your website from your website builder and and complete all the s...

                      ATOMIC BONDING We've discussed about atoms and molecules in my last blog  . But let's recall. Molecules are a group of two or more atoms and they make up matter. Atoms combine to form a large variety of molecules. But how do atoms combine in the first place? They combine through a process called bonding. In this blog, I am going to discuss what is bonding and the 3 types of bonding. Get ready for the adventure! Bonding The bonds that hold atoms together are formed by the outermost electron shells of the atoms. There are three types of bonding- covalent bonding, ionic bonding and metallic bonding. 1. Ionic Bonding Many solids are made of ions- atoms which carry an electric charge, because of more or less electrons. Ions form when atoms or group of atoms give or receive electrons so that they can fill their outermost electron shells. Let's take an example. Salt is formed when sodium and chlorine combine tog...

  Making a blog is not as easy as you think it is. There are many obstacles that you must face to bring up your blog. I started my blog a month ago, and it took me a whole month to understand the secrets to increase the traffic of my blog. Here are some tips that may be useful to you while making a blog: 1. Choose an SEO friendly blogging platform You need to use an SEO friendly blogging platform to make it come to google quickly. According to me, the best example of this is Wix. Wix is not only a website/ blog building platform, but also SEO friendly. It took my Wix website only around 11 days to come to google, while my google sites website is yet to be indexed by google. Currently, I am using blogger as my blogging platform, but to my disappointment, it is not the first website to come in google search. So, if you are planning to start a blog, you can use Wix or Wordpress if you want a really good output. 2. Choose your goal While making a blog, you must know the reason behind w...

 TYPES OF PARTICLES As we discussed earlier in  my blog about atoms , particles come under many types based on their behaviour and utility. Electrons are elementary particles, meaning that they are not further divided into any components. However, that's not the same with protons and neutrons. These particles are called subatomic particles, which means that they can be further divided into quarks and gluons. Therefore, these particles are divided into 3 main types- fermions, hadrons and bosons. Fermions consist only of elementary particles. These particles are further divided into leptons and quarks. Quarks are of 6 types. They are: Up quarks Down quarks Top quarks Bottom quarks Charm quarks Strange quarks Leptons include: Electrons Muons Electron Neutrino Muon Neutrino Tau Particle Tau Neutrino The second type of particles we know of is Hadrons. Hadrons are further divided into mesons and baryons. Baryons include: Protons Neutrons Lambda Particles Mesons include: Positive Pio...

                                    ATOMS:           THE BUIDLING BLOCKS OF MATTER                             Atoms, as we all know, are the smallest unit of matter and cannot be seen with our eyes. Matter is everything- you, me, the device you are using, the oxygen that you are breathing, etc. This matter is made up of extremely small particles called molecules. Molecules are basically a group of atoms connected together. This type of connection is called bonding, about which we will discuss later in another post Ok, let's get back to atoms. As we said earlier, they are soo small that they cannot be seen with our eyes. Atoms form a structure of a nucleus in the centre and electrons which orbit around the nucleus. There are many types of structures of atoms, including the solid state sphere model in...
