2 Curiosities about the planet Earth that you may not know ...steemCreated with Sketch.

in #life7 years ago

Hello community, today I bring 2 new curiosities.
Curiosities are about planet earth ...

Only planet with a proper name ...

Have you ever thought of where the names of the planets present in the solar system come from?

For basically most of the names of the planets come from Ancient "gods" as they are:

  • Mercury (god of commerce), I breathe in the name of the planet mercury, the element mercury and a very little known plant called mercurial.
  • Saturn (God of agriculture and harvest) I breathe the name of the planet saturn, He was the father of other gods like jupiter, neptune, pluton, etc.
  • The only planet that does not have a name of some God is the planet earth, the other 7 remaining planets have names of some God or Goddesses.

    Inverted gravity or optical illusion?

    The planet earth is conformed by wonderful places and without a doubt each one with incredible mysteries, able to "put the hair of tip".

    One of these mysteries are called Anti Gravitation Hills or Magnetic Mountains.

    The mystery of the anti-gravitational hills is that if we leave a ball on the ground, the most logical thing is that it is down to the base of the hill but in these places the reverse happens, the ball goes up, leaving some uncertainty in people Who appreciate this strange phenomenon. Several theories have been created to explain the strange phenomenon and some of them are: Alteration in the gravitational field and an optical illusion.

    Kokichi Sugihara

    The theory of optical illusion is very similar to that of Kokichi Sugihara with balls and straight objects. For as the human being has always sought references in other objects to measure something, when he does not find or there are no objects to make them, these optical illusions occur.

    Hi @Abigail-dantes, thanks for comment ...

    In Africa, in Kenya there are some hills called Kitulun, are very popular due to this phenomenon.
    There is another anti-gravity hill in the United States, in Lake Wales (Florida)
    In Pennsylvania, for example, there is an anti-gravity hill. "Right next to Route 219 at Brandy Camp, Elk County

    In many other parts of the world there are these hills.

    If you are thinking of a trip, I recommend researching a little more.
