10 Facts About Our Planet You Didn't Learn In School
Vložit

- We seem to think we know pretty much all there is to know about our Earth that nothing can surprise us at this point. You’ll be amazed when you find out how much you have yet to learn about our home planet: let’s start with 10 little-known earthly facts. You might know that it’s called “the blue planet”, but did you know that scientists say Earth was originally a different color? Or that the Moon isn’t Earth’s only satellite?
The magnetic field is vital for Earth because it protects the planet from the impact of solar winds. We think of our planet’s magnetic field as something constant and stable, but the truth is that it’s changing. James Ross, an explorer and British naval officer, pinpointed the northern magnetic pole for the first time in 1831. In 1904, Roald Amundsen, a polar regions explorer from Norway, reached the north magnetic pole again and was surprised to find that it had shifted 31 miles since Ross's discovery.
Earth, despite common belief, isn't perfectly round. It’s more like a squashed sphere. So its mass is irregular and differs in various places, which causes “wobbles” of gravity in different areas of the planet.
A smaller celestial body about 750 miles wide orbited Earth like a second moon. It most likely crashed into our main satellite later on. Scientists also don't rule out the probability that one day Earth will get another satellite.
If all the gold found inside the Earth could be extracted, it would be enough to cover the entire surface of the planet in a 2-foot layer of gold. And if we gave everyone an equal piece, each one of Earth’s inhabitants would get 9 pounds of this treasure.
Magma lurking below the surface of crater lakes emits carbon dioxide into the waters of the lakes. This carbon dioxide builds up in a thick layer at the bottom of the lakes until pressure gives way, and it’s released in an explosion.

SUMMARY
-About 4 billion years ago, a gigantic space rock the size of Mars collided with our planet. As a result, a huge chunk of the Earth broke away and later became our satellite, the Moon.
-Researchers say that since the 19th century, the northern magnetic pole has shifted about 685 miles, moving northwestward across the Canadian Arctic.
-One of the gravitational anomalies is found in Canada’s Hudson Bay, where gravity is much weaker than anywhere else on the planet.
-Some scientists believe that our planet used to have an additional satellite that crashed into our main satellite later on.
-Earthquakes on the Moon are much deeper and closer to the center of our satellite, about halfway between the surface and the core.
-About 20 million tons of gold can be found inside our very own planet and in the seas.
-Dr. Shil DasSarma, a microbial geneticist from the University of Maryland, thinks that ancient microbes probably didn’t use chlorophyll but other molecules to process sunlight and our planet used to be purple.
-If measured from the very bottom on the ocean floor to the peak, Mauna Kea is 33,000 feet tall, making it, technically, the tallest mountain on the planet.
-Nyos, Monoun, and Kivu are crater lakes in Africa that are located over volcanic earth.
-The most powerful eruption ever recorded happened in April 1815 in Indonesia. It was ranked a 7 (or “super-colossal”) on the Volcanic Explosivity Index.

My teacher doesn't trust this. And refuses to let us learn from it.
i wished my teacher made me do that it sounds SO fun!
“Earth has exploding lakes”
Me: BLOODY PIRATES!!!
I don't get it but I'd like to know more please enlighten me on this when you have the time too
Jack Chance well, pirates tend to throw dynamite into the sea and cause an explosion in the water. So exploding lakes kinda links to that I guess. 😂

Everest:”everyone respect me,the tallest mountain in the world!”
*ppl clapping for another mountain*
Everest:”umm excuse me!”
Other mountain:”sorry I’m rlly the biggest.”
Haha
Its in hawaii
Imagine a plane hit mount Mount Everest and the top half of the mountain flies to that mountain in Hawaii and makes it a lot taller
gacha 🤮
I am surprised people are commenting on how some of the facts are questionable but no one sees anything wrong with the golden Earth calculation so I'll break it down for you:
20 000 000 tons = 2 e+10 kg
density of gold = 19300 kg/m3 => volume of all gold = 1.04 e+6 m3
surface area of the earth = 5.12 e+14 m2
Dividing volume by surface area = 2.02 e-9 m = 2 nm (nanometer) thick layer surrounding the Earth (you might barely see the change in refractive index when deposited on glass but otherwise you will not even see it)
The value of 2 feet that is mentioned is over 300 million times larger than the correctly calculated value!
Bright side: Earth used to be purple
Me: My shirt used to be too

And?
Booo!!
Lol
I would like evidential proof that Earth used to be purple.

For a video titled “Facts,” I heard a lot of “probably,” “scientists think,” and “possibly.” Those don’t sound like facts, they sound like theories.
CHUD well if we go to the core to confirm wheather or not it’s made of burning hot iron our skins and bones would melt before we got half way
@@hellogoodbye6893 that's not the point. Dont talk about facts when all you're doing is guessing.
They are exactly that, theorys
I think the moon one is a bit of a wild theory if it was a piece of earth i doubt it would be such a well formed ball plus there would need to be an equally large piece missing from our planet
@@shaynegadsden Youre not accounting for the fact that gravity wants to pull objects as close to the centers of themselves as possible which is why almost all celestial objects are to some degree rounded
1:16
The best story I've ever heard!
yes
I feel like my school taught me some of these facts and the rest they didn’t teach me
Ya same
The earth really took a chunk of itself and made it its friend
You have a friend in you , literally 😂
So your telling me thanos ruled the earth once :/
Pablo Lopez THANOS!?!?
*yes*

Yes 🤣🤣

Or terraria corruption.
The explosion of Mount Tambora (in conjunction with several other volcanic events in the preceding three years) was so bad that the following year, 1816, was called "The Year Without A Summer." There were calamitous crop failures across the globe. Brown snow and red snow were observed in Hungary and Italy. A persistent dry fog was described in scientific journals. Snow fell in the Northern US in June, and river and lake ice were observed in August.
True
i heard there was yellow snow too
True. Still not the largest eruption, though, not by a longshot. Largest in relatively modern history, yes, but certainly not all time.
Are you a nerd too? I am SO a nerd
Yh I also heard that the ash that got let out into the atmosphere covered the globe which decreased the amount of sunlight hitting the earth causing global dimming meaning that the temperatures dropped.
The most shocking fact for me was :- Mount Everest is not the tallest mountain.
Second shocking fact :- Moon has earthquakes.
Or just “Moonquakes”
I love your channel keep up the great stuff!!!
I was watching this in school
So I TECHNALLY *learned this in school*
Lol
You took phone to school
Wow lol

Ok hear me out bright side,
I believe that when Theia crashed into Earth, Earth didn’t have enough gravity back then, but when Thea crashed into Earth, Earth absorbed some of Theia and the leftover of Theia orbited Earth until the leftovers started coming together and formed the moon.
*That was so long to type*
One Day u might be famous for that theory
Ooh
Thats what I learned in school.
S i e n c e
5:45 that actually made me laugh a bit
I already knew the Mount Everest wasn’t the tallest mountain in the world
How
I thought it was the Mariana trench who is the tallest
same
it's only the tallest on land
In land only
The earth was never lonely (I think)... It always had The Sun, planets and stars right next to it!
@Prestin Hurshberry Plane?
If that was the case, the tidal forces by both moons would make the Earth uninhabitable...
I love it!! 🤩 u always make me happy and like to learn well only on YT that is lol...
The gravity anomaly in the Hudson Bay region of Canada is probably around 0.005%
If it was 25-45%, some people would be able to jump twice as high or throw twice as far or carry twice as much when visiting that area.
Maybe the author misread "the ice sheet theory only accounts for 25 percent to 45 percent of the gravitational variation around Hudson Bay"
@Prestin Hurshberry lol
Their claim that an area i Canada has 25-45% weaker gravity compared to the average on earth is the most serious misinformation I've heard in a while. How could anyone on the team not hear that during the production of the video and think "Wait a minute". If none on the team thought to themselves that this percentage seemed insanely inaccurate, I do not trust they have any scientific grasp of what they put out at all. Spread of misinformation like this is not okay and if they have any integrity, they should be far more careful and awake during production.
The loudest eruption was krakatao island in Indonesia and was heard till Australia which is more than 3000 miles away from the island
“Earth used to be purple” A smile spread across myface

You don't learn much at school....
Since basically no one cares, I'll just put this in the comment itself.

JOKE.
I don't actually think this. And while some schools are actually bad, others aren't, and you should pay attention in school. You need to go to school to be successful in life. Do NOT take this JOKE seriously.

Wouldn't prince have been born way too late? Not early?
Austin Ledbetter Ye But i think it was a joke...
Kiyomi OWO arnt jokes supposed to have a punch line or at least a spec of humor in it ? I didnt catch it, just thought it was a mistake on their part.
Some jokes are dry, without a punchline. You're either supposed to chuckle or shrug because you didn't get the humor. And yes, Prince would have been born too LATE, not too early. Unless the implication is that one day chlorophyll will again become obscure? But that's an unstable prediction.... geez Im tired. Blah blah blah... just ignore me.
Exactly
I'm glad I'm not the only one who caught that
I would love to see the earth purple as that is my favourite colour.

1:21, 7:18, 8:20, 9:15 were the most shocking facts for me! Well I am a huge fan of space and thus I know many things about earth. But these 10 facts were unknown to me!
I have shocked about our planet is covered with gold. It is so useful to my studies. Thank you so much to Bright Side.
Love your work 🤗🤗
Please make video on ancient scientific methods .
The fact that shock me the most is that i was watching this video charging and so relax and lay down and me getting shock from the charger..
haha that's shocking
The earth’s rotation causes angular momentum, that flattens the earth a little bit so it kind of like bulge at the equator. So the radius of earth is 6357 km at poles and 6378 km at equator
The thing that surprised me was that the earth was covered with purple .
11. The Earth crust has a variable density and thickness -- the seafloor is the thinnest, densest ...mountainous ranges are the thickest, lightest ...the Earth's crust also bends and moves based on the Earth average temperature... When the Earth is cool and there is glaciers on land the surface crust is less likely to bend or move ... when the Earth is hot and the glaciers and ice cap has melted then there is more water in the oceans and the seafloor bends under the weight of the extra sea water ... when the surface crust bends or deforms it puts extra pressure on the mantle and this extra pressure increase Earth plate tectonics movements..... the end result will be greater volcanic/basalt activiity

What you didn't mention is that earth also has a time portal , the Bermuda triangle obviously is a time portal , a ship (i don't remember the name) went in to the traingle and returned after more than a hundred years
The Moon IS actually the core of Earth. When the planets were born or made, a chunk of the centre of the Earth came out, formed a round shape, and became what we know as, the Moon.
@Prestin Hurshberry No, Moon is made of yellow cheese that has a lightbulb inside it and that is why is shining yellow most of the nights. Why it changes colour other days is anyone's guess LOL
So if these are facts why do you need words like probably..?

Fact: Mount Everest in the tallest mountain in the world
Well something else happened first. The chunk of earth became rings which then collapsed and became the moon. It is not just a big chunk.
Let's start off with some FACTS,
Did you know the moon was probably part of the earth
I did learn this fact in school
Enayah Rashid my point is how u say u starting with facts then say a theory
Yes I know

I already knew about that
Here's what DIDN'T shock me "Scientists thought the Earth was Purple"
Yeah and some scientists discovered a planet that is much like Earth but it is the natural colour Earth supposed to be
and that colour is Purple
