Interesting Facts about Science

Interesting Facts about Science:

1. Spider web
Believe it or not the spider web is stronger than steel? That’s what happened. Instead the U.S. military had planned to make bulletproof jackets are made of spun spider webs. So the scene in the movie Spiderman 2, which stop the train using the spider web is not something impossible.
2. The Density of Ice
Did you know that the density of ice is lighter 89% than the density of water? As a result 11% of the iceberg above the water surface. This fact makes icebergs floating on the sea is very dangerous, especially for ships that are sailing. This was evident in the historical accident that befell the Titanic in 1912. Ship “that can not be drowned” was sunk after hitting an iceberg in the North Atlantk sea.

But the leaves are turned into thorns, to reduce evaporation of water. Analogues such as this, if we kepedesan then we took the water is still hot then pour the water into a dish or bowl, then a few minutes the water was even colder aka become more widespread due to the cooling area. There are Interesting Facts about Science that very interesting to know
