I thought I’d do a little V-Day Q&A.

So if you have any Valentine’s Day themed questions, anon or not, go for it! I’ll answer and publish any five! :]

The energy in the sunlight we see today started out in the core of the Sun 30,000 years ago – it spent most of this time passing through the dense atoms that make the sun and just 8 minutes to reach us once it had left the Sun! The temperature at the core of the sun is 13,600,000 kelvins. All of the energy produced by fusion in the core must travel through many successive layers to the solar photosphere before it escapes into space as sunlight or kinetic energy of particles.

I would tell them to be themselves and to embrace all the wonderful things that they are because everyone is special and unique in their own way, and it would be a terrible waste for the world to miss out on the wonderful that’s in you because you were afraid to show it or because you were forced to conform. 

It kind of reminds me of climbing a really tall tree with lots of branches. Some of them are loose and some seem too far too reach, some break off the moment you use them for support.

And on your climb up you almost fall off a few times and you get so tired of having to catch yourself, that you wonder if it’s even worth the climb. But you realize you’ll never know if you don’t make it there. 

And so you climb and climb and once you get to the top, you marvel at the view and sit there wonderstuck, and feeling so happy that you didn’t give up on your way up.

And this is advice I would give to anyone who is having a hard time, really, regardless of what they are struggling with.

Just know that there are people who love you. I hope I can help to let you know that you are loved and that everything is going to be okay, even if it doesn’t always seem like it.

Ahhh! You are so nice! *loves you back forever* <3

The density of Saturn is so low that if you were to put it in a giant glass of water it would float.
The actual density of Saturn is 0.687 g/cm³while the density of water is 0.998 g/cm³. At the equator Saturn has a radius of 60,268 ± 4 km – which means you would need an extremely large glass of water to test this out.

I’m always accepting submissions for everything! Nerd Quirks, facts and words! Feel free to send anything my way! :]
