We have plenty of topics select what you like
human-body
1. Your body has enough iron to make a small nail
The average human body contains about 3–4 grams of iron, mostly in the blood (in hemoglobin). That's roughly the amount needed to make a small metal nail—pretty cool!
2. Your stomach gets a new lining every 3–4 days
The stomach secretes powerful acids to digest food. To protect itself from being digested, it constantly renews its inner lining—about every 3 to 4 days.
3. The human nose can detect over 1 trillion smells
Studies have shown that humans are capable of distinguishing at least 1 trillion different scents, thanks to around 400 types of scent receptors in the nose.
4. Bones are stronger than steel (per weight)
Bone is both lightweight and incredibly strong. A cubic inch of bone can bear a load of over 8 tons—making it stronger than some types of steel by weight.
5. You shed about 600,000 skin cells every hour
Your body constantly renews itself. Over the course of a year, you shed about 1.5 pounds (0.7 kg) of dead skin, which helps keep your outer layer healthy and new.
6. Your brain uses about 20% of your body’s total energy
Despite being only about 2% of your body weight, your brain consumes around 20% of your daily energy intake, mainly for maintaining its electrical activity.
7. You blink around 20 times per minute
That’s more than 1,000 times an hour, or over 10,000 times a day. Blinking keeps your eyes moist and free of irritants—and gives your brain tiny breaks.
8. Your small intestine is longer than you
Though it’s tightly coiled in your abdomen, the small intestine stretches about 20 feet (6 meters) on average. It’s where most digestion and nutrient absorption happens.
9. The strongest muscle (by size) is the masseter (jaw muscle)
While different muscles are “strongest” in different ways, the masseter (your jaw muscle) can produce the greatest force—up to 200 pounds (90 kg) of pressure when chewing.
10. Your tongue print is unique
Just like fingerprints, everyone has a distinct tongue shape and texture. It could theoretically be used for biometric identification—though it’s not very practical!
11. You’re taller in the morning
While sleeping, the spinal discs rehydrate and expand, making you about 1–2 cm taller in the morning. During the day, gravity compresses them back down.
12. Babies have more bones than adults
Newborns have about 270 bones, but as they grow, many of these fuse together (especially in the skull and spine), leaving adults with 206 bones.
13. The liver can regenerate
The liver is the only internal organ that can regrow itself. Even if up to 75% is removed, it can regenerate to its original size—an ability that’s vital for survival.
14. Humans glow slightly (bioluminescence)
Humans emit a tiny amount of visible light due to chemical reactions in the body—especially from oxidative stress. But this light is 1,000 times weaker than the human eye can detect.
15. The average heart beats about 100,000 times a day
That’s about 35 million times a year, pumping blood through 60,000 miles (100,000 km) of blood vessels—enough to circle the Earth more than twice!
plants
1. Jupiter is so big it could fit all the other planets inside it—twice!
It's more than 11 times the diameter of Earth and has a mass 2.5 times that of all the other planets combined.
2. Venus is hotter than Mercury—even though Mercury is closer to the Sun
Venus’s thick atmosphere traps heat in a runaway greenhouse effect, pushing surface temps to 465°C (869°F).
3. Mars has the tallest volcano in the solar system
Olympus Mons is about 3 times the height of Mount Everest, standing 22 km (13.6 miles) tall!
4. Saturn could float in water
It's mostly made of gas and has a very low density—less than water, so theoretically it would float in a big enough pool.
5. A day on Venus is longer than its year
Venus takes 243 Earth days to rotate once, but only 225 Earth days to orbit the Sun.
6. Uranus rotates on its side
Its axis is tilted over 98 degrees, so it spins almost horizontally—possibly due to a massive ancient collision.
7. Neptune has supersonic winds
Storms on Neptune produce winds over 2,100 km/h (1,300 mph)—faster than the speed of sound on Earth.
8. Earth is the only planet not named after a god
All the other planets are named after Roman (or Greek) gods and goddesses. "Earth" comes from Old English and Germanic roots.
9. Mercury has almost no atmosphere
Because it’s so small and close to the Sun, Mercury can’t hold a significant atmosphere, leading to extreme temperature swings—from -180°C to +430°C.
10. Jupiter has a storm that’s over 300 years old
The Great Red Spot is a massive storm larger than Earth, and it's been raging for centuries.
11. Mars has two tiny moons that may be captured asteroids
Phobos and Deimos are small, irregularly shaped, and may have been pulled in from the asteroid belt.
12. Saturn’s rings are younger than the dinosaurs
They’re likely only 100 to 200 million years old, while dinosaurs roamed Earth 230 million years ago.
13. There might be rain made of diamonds on Uranus and Neptune
Deep in their atmospheres, pressure could compress carbon into solid diamonds that "rain" down toward the core.
14. Pluto is smaller than Earth's Moon
Though not a planet anymore (it's a dwarf planet), Pluto is only about 2/3 the diameter of our Moon.
15. Earth’s Moon affects our tides, but so does the Sun
While the Moon is the main force behind ocean tides, the Sun also contributes, creating spring and neap tides during certain lunar phases.
animals
1. Octopuses have three hearts
Two pump blood to the gills, and one pumps it to the rest of the body—and it actually stops beating when they swim!
2. A group of flamingos is called a “flamboyance”

8. Penguins propose with pebbles
Male Gentoo penguins find the smoothest pebble to present to a female—if she accepts, they're a couple!
9. Turritopsis dohrnii jellyfish is “immortal”
This jellyfish can revert to its juvenile state repeatedly, potentially living forever unless eaten or injured.
10. Koalas have fingerprints almost identical to humans
So similar, they could taint crime scenes—seriously!
11. A snail can sleep for up to 3 years
In extreme weather conditions, snails can go into a deep hibernation-like state for years.
12. Sea otters hold hands when they sleep
To avoid drifting apart, pairs of otters will float together holding paws—adorable and practical.
13. Male seahorses get pregnant
They carry the babies in a special pouch, and even go through contractions to give birth.
14. Parrots name their babies
Some parrots use unique sounds (like names) to call their chicks, which they recognize for life.
15. Cats can't taste sweetness
They lack taste receptors for sugar—one reason why cats aren’t into sweets like dogs are.
evolution
