Breathe In & Breathe Out

Above 18,000 ft. in elevation, air pressure is half of what
it is at sea level. This means that twice as many breaths
are required to supply the same amount of oxygen to
the blood and we tire more easily when exerting our-
selves at higher elevations.

Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head

Not including wind-driven rain, raindrops fall between
7 and 18 miles per hour in still air. The range in speed
depends on the the size of the raindrop. Air friction
breaks up raindrops when they exceed 18 miles per hour.

I Want Sunshine on a Cloudy Day

The amount of sunlight reaching the earth's surface is
6,000 times the amount of energy used by all human
beings worldwide. The total amount of fossil fuel used
by humans since the start of civilization is equivalent
to less than 30 days of sunshine.
