Why do Venus and Jupiter meet on sky so often ??

Venus and Jupiter " meet " in the sky a lot because of their orbit work relative to Earth.

Venus orbits the Sun in 225 days. It's an inner planet and zips around faster than Earth.

Jupiter takes 11.86 Earth years to orbit around the Sun.  Its an outer planet and " crawls " compared to Earth  !!!

Earth is also orbiting the Sun.  As Jupiter makes its slow annual trek around Sun across our point of view, fast moving Venus inevitably overtakes and passes by Jupiter  !!!

Venus and Jupiter line up with each other roughly around 13 - 14 months.

All planets orbit in elliptical plane.  So they naturally pass each other in the sky from time to time.

Venus and Jupiter cross paths more often than any other planets because of math of their periods.

As both Venus and Jupiter are brightest, they really stand out. Fainter planets can be in conjunction, but we don't notice  !!!

Both Venus and Jupiter line up perfectly along our line of sight, they are actually never close in space.

Both of them remain seperated by millions of kms in space .  The meeting of two planets is the perfect optical illusion    !!!!

Why cold coffee at hotels tastes much creamier than household ones ??

I feel each and every stuff of hotel is much tastier  !!!

Now why cold coffee at hotel is much creamier ??

It is because of higher fat content milk and mechanical aeration.

In home, we just use standard milk and quick stir  !!!

Hoteliers incorporate tiny air bubbles into liquid, creating a frothy, aerated texture.

This feels thicker on tongue  !!!

Many cold coffees actually contain a small scoop of vanilla icecream  to give instant thickness  !!!

 High end hotels use Nitro cold brew which is infused with nitrogen gas.  This creates tiny, non dissolving bubbles that provide a velvety creamy texture without adding diary  !!!

How many pieces at a time ??

 This question was asked on Koun Banega Karodpati program.

Question 

In castling ,  how many pieces are moved at once ??

1.   1

2.   2

3.  3

4.   4

Answer 

Castling is  a move in chess.

In castling, two pieces are moved at once :  the King and one of the rooks.

This is the only time we can move more than one piece during a single turn  !!!

How  it works  :

The King moves two squares toward the rook.

The Rook jumps over the King and lands on the square immediate next to it.

 Strict requirements for castling  ----

1.  Neither the King nor the Rook we are using ,  has moved yet in the game.

2.  There must be no other pieces between the King and the Rook

3.  We can not castle if our King is currently in check.

As we move King and the Rook simultaneously, we are moving 2 Pierce at a time   !!!
