Aeroplanes fly and reach to a height by using two things. One is the Bernoulli’s effect and other is the simple momentum transfer in the flow of air for the lift.
Daniel Bernoulli stated a principle which says that with the increase of speed of fluid the pressure decreases. Here the air over an airplane works [...]

Stain removers and detergents that are used nowadays have enzymes which work to remove the organic stains while bleaching chemicals in stain removers remove the non-organic stains. These enzymes work in a simple way. It breaks the stains so that it will be easier for the enzymes to remove them by water or they are [...]

We know that earth is tilted at a particular angle and also revolves around the sun. Different parts on the earth get more or less amount of the sunrays which cause the seasons and length of days and nights.
This can be easily understood by performing an experiment. Take an apple and pass a stick [...]

Many times we have seen reddish brown flakes on the metal. This is known as rust. When iron reacts with oxygen it forms a new substance called iron oxide. This can happens only if the oxygen level is enough for reaction. Chemical reaction takes place in this process. Iron never reacts with the oxygen present [...]

Due to the rising of humid air thunderstorm is formed. Air rises up because of many factors like heating by sun, melting of two different steams of air or facing of air uphill. This heated air rises up and condense at a certain height forming a cloud. If it rises further water droplets [...]

We all know that when sunrays reach to earth they heat the surface of rivers, lakes, ocean and other water bodies leaded into process called evaporation. These vapors start rising and it is the tendency of warm air to hold more water vapors. So when it reaches to height where temperature is low. Warm air [...]

Mostly we all had heard that clouds forms because of evaporation but how the whole process works is the question.
Sunrays reach to the ground supplying heat to all the objects and also in the air of our environment. Now this air which had gained heat tends to become lighter in weight so it starts rising [...]
