Even though the ISS is in space still there is some gravity over there ..!! Do you know how..?
This is because the ISS i.e. the international space station revolves (orbits) around the earth at an altitude of about 400 kilometers or 250 miles.
And at that much altitude, there is about 90% of the earth's gravity as compared to being on the surface.
It is orbiting the earth at a speed of about 27,600 kph, by which it orbits the earth about 15.5 times each day.
The International Space Station (ISS) is the biggest man-made structure i.e. in space with a massive size i.e. about 239.4 in length and 357.5 in width that is near about the same or a little bit greater than the football field, having a mass of about 419,725 kg.

Caterpillars have 12 eyes, but they still can’t visualize colors. Yes, caterpillars have 12 eyes. On each side of the head, they have 6 eyelets, known as the stemmata or ocelli which are arranged in a semicircular manner.

There is a small story behind this. The great lord buddha who started the very oldest and very famous religion, "BUDDHISM '', was once meditating under a tree. It was a sunny day, and Buddha was deeply engrossed in his meditation. But as time passed, the temperature also increased, and soon the sun lined up on buddha's head.
