Don't believe there are more trees than stars in Galaxy

Interesting, informative and fun. The waste of sperm produced daily by males. Women are born with about 500 eggs to last them their life time of child bearing age. More efficient wouldn't you agree! The 2.3 Billion years before the planet is too hot makes sense, since our sun will gone supper nova in 10 more billion years. I really appreciate this type of learning trivia. Good job Quiz Folks. Thank you.

Chris Gove, It's because the molecules are further apart in hot water than in cold water so that's why it freezes faster

Oscar Lewallen, yes and when did the scientist be able to count every star in the heavens to know there's more trees on earth then stars, besides which, did they really go around the earth to actually count the trees?

Joanne Jolin, well ladybugs are also called 🐞 ladybird. Science does have some strange notions about what to call some sybjects.

Chris Gove, I have witnessed someone doing this. The temperature outside has to be very cold, like 30 to 40 degrees below Fahrenheit. On the weather channel, I saw a video made in Siberia, of a guy with a boiling pan of water which he threw into the air and it almost instantly turned into a snow and frozen mixture. Pretty neat if you ask me. If it should get very cold where you live, Chris. Try it out.

Paulette Arnold
Joanne Jolin, yes!

Alireza Mohtashami, and how would they even know that? Grains of sand, maybe, trees, no.

You got the weight/ mass units grams ond kilograms mixed up regarding the fart!
0.5 kilograms is 500 grams. Producing 0.5 kg of fart matter during 24 hours, if one fart is 0.0371 grams, would require 561 farts per hour, or roughly 9 farts per minute . That is one blast every 7 seconds.
I don’t think so.

Ladybug not ladybird
Michael Stafford
Richard Perkins, they are known as ladybirds in the United Kingdom. I doubt they fly at 60mph too though!
Bill Knott
there are about 1 billion stars in the Milky Way. There are more than 3 trillion trees on earth.
