How many moons does all the planets have?

Our home Earth has one moon. But not all have only one moon. Some of them have dozens of moons while some have none. Let's know the number of moons all the planets have starting from the one closest to the sun. Here we go-

MERCURY 
First planet from the sun is mercury, which is also the smallest planet in the solar system, don't have any moon because of it's closeness to the Sun. If it had any moon, it would have been most likely to crash into mercury or get into the orbit of the sun, and would eventually get sucked into it.

VENUS 
Next up is venus, the third smallest planet after mercury and mars, also don't have any moon. Unlike mercury, the reason why venus don't have any moon is still not known by us.

EARTH
Our home earth, the third planet from the sun and the fifth largest planet in the solar system has one moon.

MARS
Up next is mars, where scientists have been researching for the existence of life, which is also the second smallest planet after mercury, has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. Doesn't seems like twin names?

JUPITER 
The largest planet in our solar system, Jupiter has 79 moons. Jupiter is home to the largest moon in the solar system, Ganymade. It's moons are so big that you can see them with a pair of binoculars.

SATURN
The moons of Saturn are numerous and diverged ranging from tiny moonlets less than 1km across to the enormous Titan which is larger than the planet Mercury. Saturn has 62 moons with confirmed orbits, 53 of which have names and only 13 of which have diameters larger than 50km.

URANUS
Uranus is the third largest planet in the solar system after the giants, Jupiter and Saturn. Uranus has 27 moons that NASA has so far found.

Neptune
Neptune is the fourth largest planet in the solar system. Neptune has 13 named moon and one is awaiting confirmation. One of its moon, Triton, is as big as the dwarf planet, pluto.

What is the fastest Internet speed ever recorded?

In May, 2020, researchers in Australia claim to have achieved internet speed of 44.2 Terabits per second, the fastest internet speed ever recorded. This unbelievable speed was achieved with the help of a single optical chip called micro-comb that replaces around 80 lasers found in some of the existing telecom hardware. The micro-comb is really tiny, about the size of a fingernail.  At this lightning speed, you can download over 1000 HD (High Definition) movies in less than a second.  Continue reading to know who is/are considered the father of internet? Who performed this test? The lightning speed was achieved by a team of researchers from the Swinburne, Monash and RMIT universities of Australia.  Where did the test took place? The device was planted and tested outside the laboratory with the help of using some existing infrastructure similar to that used by the National Broadband Network(NBN) of the country and is compatible with current NBN's infrastructure.  The

Nanosecond | Power of Nanosecond | Uses of Nanosecond

A nanosecond (ns) is an SI unit of time equal to one billionth of a second ( 1/1,000,000,000s). A nano-unit is 10 raised to the power -9. One nanosecond is to one second as one second is to 31.71 years. The prefix nano and time's unit second led to the formation of the word nanosecond whose symbol is given as ns. There are still two more units smaller than nanosecond, these are picosecond (1/1,000,000,000,000s) and femtosecond(1/1,000,000,000,000,000s). One thousand nanosecond will make up 1 Microsecond whereas a million nansecond is equivalent to 1 millisecond. The unit nanosecond is generally used in computers to calculate the processing time of RAM and in electrical components.

7 Random Facts that are of no use to you

Hey everyone! Hope you're having a great day. After a short break, I'm back. And I thought that one fact won't be enough. So I came up with 7 random facts that you don't need to know. 1st Fact-   What did Bruce Lee study? The largest influence on Lee's martial arts development was his study of Wing Chun. Lee began training in Wing Chun when he was yet 16years old under Wing Chun teacher Yip Man in 1957, after losing a fight with rival gang members. 2nd Fact- What does it mean to throw the baby out with the bathwater? Throw out the baby with the bath water is an idiomatic expression and a concept used to suggest an avoidable error in which something good is eliminated when trying to get rid of something bad, or in other words, losing the essential along with the inessential. 3rd Fact- Can a goalkeeper score by throwing the ball? The ball enters play as soon as the goalkeeper throws or kicks it. Once the ball is in play and is made
