Lightning Temperature Shocking

-


A bolt of lightning can reach temperatures of roughly 30,000 kelvins (53,540 degrees Fahrenheit). The sun, on the other hand, is eclipsed in this case - its surface temperature is just 6,000 kelvins (10,340 degrees Fahrenheit). It's one amazing piece of science trivia, but what exactly does it all mean?


First, it's important to realize that the sun's surface is actually its coolest layer. Dive down to its core, and you'd encounter plasma temperatures of about 15 million kelvins (about 27 million degrees Fahrenheit). Things also heat up just above the sun's surface, as its atmosphere exceeds temperatures of 500,000 kelvins (about 900,000 degrees Fahrenheit).


"Power is the rate at which energy is used or transferred," explains University of Washington physics professor Robert H. Holzworth. "So power is energy per second, and the energy per second in lighting can be very high, but it only lasts a really, really, short time, like tens of microseconds. So the total energy isn't like the total energy from the sun, obviously, but the rate the energy dissipates can be very large. It's one of the most powerful natural phenomena on Earth."

بجلی کا ایک بولٹ تقریبا 30،000 کیلون (53،540 ڈگری فارن ہائیٹ) کے درجہ حرارت تک پہنچ سکتا ہے۔ دوسری طرف ، اس معاملے میں سورج گرہن ہے - اس کی سطح کا درجہ حرارت محض 6،000 کیلون (10،340 ڈگری فارن ہائیٹ) ہے۔ یہ سائنس ٹریوئیا کا ایک حیرت انگیز ٹکڑا ہے ، لیکن اس کا قطعی مطلب کیا ہے؟


پہلے ، یہ سمجھنا ضروری ہے کہ سورج کی سطح دراصل اس کی بہترین پرت ہے۔ اس کی بنیاد پر ڈوبکی ، اور آپ کو تقریبا 15 ملین کیلون (تقریبا 27 ملین ڈگری فارن ہائیٹ) پلازما درجہ حرارت کا سامنا کرنا پڑے گا۔ چیزیں بھی سورج کی سطح سے بالکل اوپر ہی گرم ہوتی ہیں ، کیونکہ اس کا ماحول 500،000 کیلون (تقریبا 900،000 ڈگری فارن ہائیٹ) کے درجہ حرارت سے تجاوز کرتا ہے۔

یونیورسٹی کے فزکس کے پروفیسر رابرٹ ایچ ہولز ورتھ کی وضاحت کرتے ہیں ، "پاور وہ شرح ہے جس پر توانائی کا استعمال یا منتقلی کی جاتی ہے۔" "لہذا طاقت فی سیکنڈ توانائی ہے ، اور لائٹنگ میں فی سیکنڈ توانائی بہت زیادہ ہوسکتی ہے ، لیکن یہ صرف دسیوں مائیکرو سیکنڈوں کی طرح واقعی ، واقعتا، ، مختصر وقت تک قائم رہتا ہے۔ لہذا کل توانائی اس طرح کی توانائی کی طرح نہیں ہے سورج ، ظاہر ہے ، لیکن توانائی کے ضیاع کی شرح بہت بڑی ہوسکتی ہے۔ یہ زمین کے طاقتور ترین قدرتی مظاہر میں سے ایک ہے۔ "

The Hagia Sophia.....

The Hagia Sophia , whose name means “holy wisdom,” is a domed monument originally built as a cathedral in Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey ) in the sixth century A.D. It contains two floors centered on a giant nave that has a great dome ceiling, along with smaller domes, towering above. “Hagia Sophia’s dimensions are formidable for any structure not built of steel,” writes Helen Gardner and Fred Kleiner in their book "Gardner’s Art Through the Ages: A Global History." “In plan it is about 270 feet [82 meters] long and 240 feet [73 meters] wide. The dome is 108 feet [33 meters] in diameter and its crown rises some 180 feet [55 meters] above the pavement.” In its 1,400 year life-span it has served as a cathedral, mosque and now a museum. When it was first constructed, Constantinople was the capital of the Byzantine Empire. This state, officially Christian, originally formed the eastern half of the Roman Empire and carried on after the fall of Rome. F...

Benefits of Exercise. . .ورزش کے فوائد

New research published in the journal Cancer, Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention shows that exercise like walking may reduce a person's risk for cancer. The researchers found that postmenopausal women who were very active or walked for at least seven hours a week had a reduced risk for breast cancer. The researchers looked at a cohort of 73,615 postmenopausal women who reported their physical activity and found that women who participated in vigorous physical activity every day had a 25% lower risk for breast cancer, and women who walked for at least seven hours a week had a 14% lower risk for breast cancer. Given that 60% of women report some type of daily walking, the researchers say promoting walking as a leisure time activity can have protective benefits for women. Even without any other forms of exercise, women who walk had higher chances of keeping breast cancer at bay. Walking could be as beneficial to the body than say running and swimming. Research loo...

Eyes Blinking

Scientists have shown that the average person blinks 15-20 times per minute. That's up to 1,200 times per hour and a whopping 28,800 times in a day—much more often than we need to keep our eyeballs lubricated. In fact, we spend about 10 percent of our waking hours with our eyes closed. So why do we blink so much? New research from Japan's Osaka University found that blinking may serve as a form of momentary rest for the brain, giving the mind a chance to wander and "go offline." These brief breaks may last just a split second, or even a few seconds. When our brains aren't concentrated on a task, brain regions known as the "default mode network" come alive, allowing our mind to switch into an idle mode—a phenomenon researchers discovered decades ago. But how does blinking affect this idle state? According to the new research, blinking and the brain at rest go hand in hand. In order to understand this phenomenon, scientists monitored the brain activity of ...
