Did you know....

...there are more atoms in one glass of water than there are glasses of water in all the oceans of the world.

(An average strand of hair is 50,000,000 atoms wide)

 

How big are the glasses? If the glasses are two molecules wide, is that still true? Or are we accepting an average of 200ml?

 

Same size glass you pedantic bugger !!!

Are you simoncc's alter ego ???

 

There are three atoms in a row.

How many ducks could they hold?

 

if an atom falls in the forest and there's no-one there to hear it, does the duck quack?

 

stop ducking the issue.

 

Excellent fact Fudd. I love stuff like that. Provide more please!

 

There once was a cat, 'twas a tom,
Which jumped up and down, with aplomb.
One day it jumped high
Right into the sky
And came down again, a tom bomb!

 

The earth actually has seven moons.

 

Rubbish, I can only think of six:

Alfie Moon, Nana Moon, Spencer Moon, actual moon, Jake Moon and Danny Moon.

 

Hmmm...

200ml? So 200g or so.

Thats 11.1 moles of water.

Multiply by Avogadros constant, I make that something in the region of 6.7x10 to the power of 24 molecules. Multiply by three for the number of atoms, about 2 x 10 to the 25.

6.6 times ten to the 9 people in the world... There are many, many, many more orders of magnitude more atoms in a glass of water than there are glasses. Unless every person owns, like, 10 to the power of 15 glasses.

 

Button.
