⁉️ Can graphite conduct electricity?
✅ Graphite is an electric conductor, consequently, useful in such applications as arc lamp electrodes. It can conduct electricity due to the vast electron delocalization within the carbon layers (a phenomenon called aromaticity). These valence electrons are free to move, so are able to conduct electricity.

⁉️ Why do people throw rice at weddings?
✅ Throwing rice at a newly married couple has been a tradition for thousands of years, possibly going back as far as the ancient Assyrians and Egyptians. The idea is to give the newlyweds good luck, fertility, and abundance using this symbol of a good crop.

⁉️ Which country is known as the land of the midnight sun?
✅ Canada (Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut), Greenland, Iceland, Finland, Norway, Russia, Sweden, and the United States (Alaska). A quarter of Finland's territory lies north of the Arctic Circle and at the country's northernmost point the sun does not set at all for 60 days during summer.

⁉️ What connects the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean?
✅ The Panama Canal is not the only water line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. There's a place in Wyoming—deep in the Teton Wilderness Area of the Bridger-Teton National Forest—in which a creek splits in two. Like the canal, this creek connects the two oceans dividing North America in two parts.

⁉️ What color do dogs eyes reflect?
✅ The colors of a dog's eyeshine aren't limited to red and green, either. They can be all shades of blue, orange, yellow, turquoise or even violet. The specific color reflected depends on the amount of zinc or riboflavin in the eye cells. Red glowing eyes at night are the result of blood vessels reflecting light.

⁉️ Why are your lips red?
✅ Your lips' red or pink pigment comes from underlying blood vessels -- red-colored, blood-filled capillaries are close to the thin skin on your lips. The transition of the reddish-pink outline of your lips to the rest of the skin is called the vermillion border, and it's found only in humans .

⁉️ How high can you go without oxygen?
✅ We pass out when the pressure drops below 57 percent of atmospheric pressure — equivalent to that at an altitude of 15,000 feet (4,572 meters). Climbers can push higher because they gradually acclimate their bodies to the drop in oxygen, but no one survives long without an oxygen tank above 26,000 feet (7925 m).

⁉️ When were hieroglyphics created as a written language?
✅ Archaeological discoveries suggest that Egyptian hieroglyphs may be the oldest form of writing. The earliest evidence of an Egyptian hieroglyphic system is believed to be from about 3300 or 3200 BC, and the Egyptians used hieroglyphs for the next 3,500 years.

⁉️ Who completed the first circumnavigation of the world?
✅ The Spanish Magellan-Elcano expedition of August 1519 to 8 September 1522, started by Portuguese navigator Fernão de Magalhães (Ferdinand Magellan) and completed by Spanish navigator Juan Sebastián Elcano after Magellan's death, was the first global circumnavigation.

⁉️ Do women have an Adam's apple?
✅ The Adam's apple is actually caused by the bulging of a set of cartilage plates that are held together by tissues and muscle fibers, which protect the vocal cords. Women have these plates, too, but the bulge is more prominent in men for two reasons: Testosterone causes the larynx to grow rapidly during puberty,

⁉️ How high is the top of the atmosphere?
✅ Earth's atmosphere is about 300 miles (480 kilometers) thick, but most of it is within 10 miles (16 km) the surface. Air pressure decreases with altitude. At sea level, air pressure is about 14.7 pounds per square inch (1 kilogram per square centimeter).

⁉️ Do water and ice weigh the same?
✅ The ice cup will weigh the same as when it was in liquid form but the volume of ice in the cup will be larger than what it was in liquid form. This is because when ice crystallizes into its hexagonal structure the water molecules are farther apart than when they are in the liquid state.

⁉️ What company invented the first Laser Printer?
✅ Unlike the company's Xerography process, however, Xerox had to share the laser printer market. IBM and Canon soon developed competing products. Xerox PARC Scanning Laser Output Terminal (SLOT) Gary Starkweather prototyped the first laser printer by modifying a standard Xerox office copier.
