BIONBIT: Can We Cry Under Water? Why doesn't glue stick to its bottle or tube? Do fish ever get thirsty, And do they sweat?

The body mechanism of crying under water works just as fine above as below the water. So you can cry tears, they would just be mixed with the rest of the water. You will not be able to feel the tears run down your face but your eyes will be red when you come up so a lot of other people would be able to tell when you come up out of the water. Also, if you have your goggles on, they will fill up with your tears. Most of us cry for a reason, which is probably caused by something emotional happening. This means we breathe heavily when we cry, and as you can’t breathe underwater, you would end up drowning from swallowing too much water. So you would most likely end up dead, unless you have an air tank and a mask. Do fish ever get thirsty, And do they sweat?  Fishes has their own system to use water which are their gills and skin. So they do not need to drink extra water as humans. They got their needed dose of water by their foods. Sweating is a process designed to help

How much does a cloud weigh? - BIONBIT

If all those elephants were hanging out in the sky, they’d fall. So how does a several-hundred-ton cloud stay afloat?  Here's Why - The weight isn’t concentrated in a hundred elephant -sized particles or even a billion marble-sized ones. It’s distributed among trillions of really tiny water droplets spread out over a really big space. Some of these droplets are so small that you would need a million of them to make one raindrop, and gravity’s effect on them is pretty negligible. What’s more, the cloud is less dense than dry air, so it's buoyant. It also helps that all those little droplets get some lift from updrafts of warm air. Those droplets don’t float forever, though. When the cloud’s water density increases and the droplets get bigger and heavier, the cloud eventually does fall, bit by little bit, in the form of rain.  Head over to Mental Floss for more on this cool story.

Read: What Is The Name Of The Earth's Moon?

It has many names, depends on who you ask. In English, one name for our moon is simply the Moon. There are 146 official moons in the Solar System. All official moons have names after gods or Shakespeare characters. Names like Callisto, Titan, or Prometheus. But there’s one moon in the Solar System with a super boring name… the one you’re most familiar with: Moon. So what’s the Moon’s real name?    The answer is: The Moon.  For most of human history, there didn't need to be a more specific term to differentiate our moon from other moons that orbit other planets in the solar system, and for good reason: we didn't know there were any other moons. Until Galileo first turned his telescope to the skies in 1610, and realized that Jupiter had tiny spots of light orbiting around it. "After other moons were discovered," the NASA site continues, "they were given different names so that people would not confuse them with each other. We call them moons because the
Most cabin windows consist of outer, middle and inner panes – all of which are made of a super strong synthetic resin. Typically, it’s the middle pane that has the mysterious little hole. Only the outer and middle panels are actually structural, while the inner is pretty much there as a failsafe and to protect the other layers. It’s only there to maintain cabin pressure in the extremely rare event that the outer pane becomes fractured. Cruising at 35,000 feet, the pressure is around 1.5 kilograms per square inch. This is too low for the human body to stay conscious, so the pressure is artificially maintained at around 3.5 kilograms per square inch. But of course, if you increase pressure inside, the structure has to be strong to hold the difference between the external pressure and internal pressure. The outer pane is the thickest of these and is the primary layer that bears the pressure of the cabin. The little hole is there to act as “as a bleed val
