Your DNA stretched end to end would reach the Sun and back over 600 times
Human DNA length: 2 meters, Sun-Earth distance: 150 million km, repetitions: 900,000,000
A day on Venus is longer than its year — it rotates so slowly it takes 243 Earth days
Venus's rotation period exceeds its orbital period, resulting in a longer solar day than year
If the gravitational constant were twice as large as its current value, how would the orbital period of Earth around the Sun change?
Orbital period would halve due to inverse square law relationship
The observable universe is about 93 billion light-years in diameter
The observable universe spans approximately 93 billion light-years across
