An average cloud weighs about 216,000 pounds – making it as
heavy as about two thirds of the weight of a blue whale. A dark storm cloud on
the other hand weighs an average of around a hundred and five point eight
million pounds – making it equal to the full weight of not one but three blue
whales.
It sounds unbelievable, but the naked human eye can actually
see up to 2.5 million light years away – or to put it another way, the
Andromeda Galaxy, which is the farthest object that can be seen with plain
sight in the sky above us.
Toads can sense earthquakes. Scientists are still unclear as
to how they are able to do this, but the fact remains that three days prior to
an earthquake striking L’Aquila in Italy back in 2009, an entire toad
population decided to vacate their breeding grounds and head somewhere a little
safer.
