Why Some Rainbows Turn White
24 жовт. 2025 р.
Download Opera for free: https://opr.as/Opera-browser-minutephysics Support MinutePhysics on Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/minutephysics If you wander outside on a misty morning you may come across a white rainbow - called a fogbow! White rainbows need three things to form: mist, the sun, and you. White rainbows are the same as regular rainbows, except they only form when the water drops in the air are super small. To find a white rainbow, go out when the Sun is low in the sky, like in the morning or evening. You want the Sun to be behind you so that a ~40 degree angle from the droplet to you and the sun is achievable. You'll need to be in a very thin fog, thin enough that the sun shines through but thick enough to reflect the sun's light back. Look away from the sun (the same way you do with a regular rainbow).

The Moon's Orbit is WEIRD

Go to https://brilliant.org/MinutePhysics to try Brilliant for 30 days for FREE, and to get 20% off an annual premium subscription to Brilliant. We think of the moon as orbiting the earth, following a spiraling trajectory as the earth itself orbits the sun. But this is wrong. Not only is the moon's orbit NOT a spiral... there's an argument that the moon actually orbits the sun, not the earth! The moon's trajectory is more like a 12-sided polygon with curved corners than it is a spiral or even a wiggly line.

Pressure *can* melt ice - like, you only need 500 times atmospheric pressure to melt ice down to negative four degrees celsius. If you have 1000 times atmospheric pressure (like at the bottom of the Mariana trench), then you'll melt ice down to around negative nine celsius. But that's for fresh water. For salty sea water, things are different.

The Color Temperature Paradox
24 лип. 2024 р.
Go to https://brilliant.org/minutephysics to try everything Brilliant has to offer for free for a full 30 days, and also get 20% off your annual premium subscription! If you take a piece of white paper into different lighting conditions, it will be an objectively different color in each situation, but our brains are clever enough to make us feel like it's still white - it's still the same piece of paper, after all. To match our experience, cameras have to do this, too, "balancing" the colors of an image so that a white object looks white under a given light, rather than some other color. And the typical unit to measure the color of a light is the Kelvin. Which is weird, because Kelvin is a unit for measuring temperature, not color. What temperature and the color in a photograph have to do with each other comes down to history and physics.

Which Planet Has the Best Eclipse?
5 квіт. 2024 р.
Check out the interactive lab here: https://labs.minutelabs.io/eclipses/ Solar eclipses don't just happen here on earth - moons of other planets also pass between those planets and the sun, resulting in various types of solar eclipses on Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and even non-planets like Pluto, Eris and various asteroids. So, where are the best eclipses in the solar system? For that, we need a tier list.

Why Do Eclipses Travel WEST to EAST?

The sun rises in the east, the moon rises in the east, and the stars rise in the east... but solar eclipses, oddly, come from the west.

That amounts to ~0.25-0.35mm of sweat (covering the whole body) evaporated in an hour, or 6 micrometers every minute. Water has latent heat of 2,270 kJ/kg (http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/water-thermal-properties-d_162.html), so in an hour a human can lose ~1100-1700 kJ of energy. (2270/4.1868 ~ 542 Cal) BUT that assumes all of the energy came from the person. If some proportion of it came from the air (~1/3-1/2?) then the person is only cooled down partially. Mass of a human ~ 60-80kg (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_weight), assuming ~specific heat of water, ie 4 kJ/kg/K, could decrease temp by ~4.5-5°C. Energy used in moderate-hard exercise is ~20-30 kJ/kg/30 min, or ~40-60kJ/kg/h (http://www.weightloss.com.au/weight-loss/weight-loss-tools/exercise-energy-charts.html). Let’s say 50kJ/kg/h, which for average human amounts to 3000-4000 kJ/hr ********************************** MinutePhysics is on twitter - @minutephysics And facebook - http://facebook.com/minutephysics Minute Physics provides an energetic and entertaining view of old and new problems in physics -- all in a minute!
