Dear Sidhehswar,
I have reviewed the interesting facts you shared. Here are the corrected versions with proper formatting:
A zebra is white with black stripes.
All the planets in our solar system rotate anticlockwise, except Venus. It is the only planet that rotates clockwise.
Hummingbirds are the only animals that can also fly backwards.
Insects do not make noises with their voices. The noise of bees, mosquitoes, and other buzzing insects is caused by rapidly moving their wings.
The cockroach is the fastest animal on six legs, covering a meter a second.
The word "listen" contains the same letters as the word "silent."
The only two animals that can see behind themselves without turning their heads are the rabbit and the parrot.
A "jiffy" is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second.
India invented the Number System. Zero was invented by Aryabhatta.
The whip makes a cracking sound because its tip moves faster than the speed of sound.
A hippopotamus can run faster than a man.
India has never invaded any country in its last 10,000 years of history.
"Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia" is the fear of long words.
Didaskaleinophobia is the fear of going to school.
Phobatrivaphobia is the fear of trivia about phobias!
It is impossible to lick your elbow. (We know you're going to try this!)
A snail can sleep for three years. (Wow, lucky chap, eh?)
The names of the continents all end with the same letter with which they start. In 1883, the explosion of the volcano Krakatoa put so much dust into the Earth's atmosphere that sunsets appeared green, and the moon appeared blue around the world for almost two years.
"Almost" is the longest word in the English language with all the letters in alphabetical order.
Twenty-Four-Karat Gold is not pure gold since there is a small amount of copper in it. Absolutely pure gold is so soft that it can be molded with the hands.
Electricity doesn't move through a wire but through a field around the wire.
Do you know the names of the three wise monkeys? They are: Mizaru (See no evil), Mikazaru (Hear no evil), and Mazaru (Say no evil).
Fifty-five percent of people yawn within five minutes of seeing someone else yawn. Reading about yawning makes most people yawn. Hello, zzzzz zzzz?
Regards,
Sidhehswar
