How to calculate the distance from lightning

January 24th, 2010

Ever wanted to know how many kilometers or miles the lightning is far? Well here’s the answer:

  1. Watch the sky for a flash of lightning.
  2. Count the number of seconds until you hear the lightning (use a watch for more accurate results).
  3. Divide the number of seconds by 3 to know the distance in kilometers and by 5 to know in miles. For example:
  • If the time is 30 sec. then the distance in km is 30 divided by 3 equals 10 km
  • If the time is 30 sec. then the distance in miles is 30 divided by 5 equals 6 miles

Some people ask why do we need to know this?

The answer is: it is useful for people in countries that lightning occurs every second. Like this they will know if the lightning is near and run away for their lives.

NOTE: This fact is confirmed by many scientists.

Life

September 23rd, 2009

Life is SHORT so LIVE WITH IT!!

FAST CARS = SHORT LIFE!!

SLOW CARS = LONG LIFE!!

Life is short so live with it! Don’t be bored of life, cause life comes only one time and then goes away! There are always positive and negative things in life, for example driving fast a car is a negative way cause you have a more chance of crashing then driving a slow car! Don’t waste your time in life, cause after becoming old you were going to feel sad for the things you didn’t do! Live life as it is and don’t complain cause as I said life is short!

In old times (about 2-3 years ago) I opened a FREE website from Piczo.com and I liked it!!! I started updating many things… Many of my friends saw the website and they had one and asked me such questions: How did you do that?… And I answered them bravely… :)
Now since it’s old and I have this website, I decided to update interesting topics here!! Well if you want some ideas how are the websites on piczo then enter my website arabalian96.piczo.com
If you have questions just comment and I’ll answer you soon!!
After checking arabalian96.piczo.com you’re going to tell me why isn’t this website nice like that and the answer is because it doesn’t have HTML reader and all you should do it (ex: if you want to change background on piczo it’s so easy but here it’s complicated you need to work with codes!!!)
