  Uranus, the mysterious ice giant has 27 known moons.


Moons have distinct almost perpendicular orbit because of Uranus's extreme axis tilt.


Some of such moons are  -------

                        Most deformed and undersized moon of Uranus.  It features patchwork of ridges, valleys and great cliffs.




2.  Titania

                    It is one of largest moons of Uranus. It has deep chasms and frozen surface.




3.  Oberon

              It is the oldest of Uranus's moon and is dotted with crators.





4. Ariel 

             It is the brightest of Uranus's moon because of its smooth and ice covered surface.




5. Umbriel 

             As opposite to Aeriel, it is the darkest  moon. It absorbs all the aunlight that strikes its surface.




6.  Puck

           It is the smallest of all the moons and is almost spherical. 



7.  Portia

                 It is a quite small inner moon which is being torn apart by gravitational forces.



8.  Cressinda

                It has most irregular form and is the most unstudied natural moons of solar system.

What is measured with this ??

 This question was asked on Koun Banega Karodpati program.


Question 


What is measured in grams per square meter??


1.  Petrol


2.  Gold


3.  Glass


4.  Paper 



Answer 

 

I know petrol is measured in litres.


Gold is measured in carrots or grams.


So, both petrol and gold can be eliminated.


Remaining are glass and paper.


Grams per square meter or GSM, is commonly used to measure the weight of materials like paper and fabric.


A higher GSM means the material is generally thicker and heavier  !!!!


But when it comes to measure glass, the scale gets shifted from grams to kilograms.


As glass is much denser than paper or fabric.


Correct answer         PAPER      !!!


Why do AC blast in summer. ??

  Though this type of incidents are rare, if occurred it is primarily due to pressure buildup and overheating due to excessive load.


In summer, high temperatures 45 to 48 degree Celsius, it forces the outdoor unit to work harder to cool the refrigerant gas.


This can lead to system failure if not property maintained.


Running AC continuously for 20 to 24 hours without break puts extra load on compressor.


If the compressor is already under direct sunlight and lacks proper ventilation, risk of blasting is more.


Dirt accumulation, electrical faults and improper installation are the other reasons.


Avoiding running the AC at a stretch not more than 8-9 hours and regular services are the critical safety precautions to be taken.
