FIREWORKS:Science behind the Lighting Up of The Sky

INTRODUCTION  While looking up at the night sky on festive occasions,the brilliant flashes of color,sparkling trails and booming sounds of fireworks mostly feels like pure magic. Have we ever thought that behind this spectacle lies a fascinating interplay of chemistry and physics. Each and every crackle,burst and hue are meticulously engineered which rely on principles that chemists and pyrotechnicians have refined for centuries. In this blog post,we will look into the chemistry of fireworks by knowing about their working,about their dazzling colors and the science which ensures both beauty and safety. Sup HISTORY OF FIREWORKS  The origin of fireworks can be traced back around 7th century in ancient China where early pyrotechnicians developed crackers using bamboo sticks filled with gunpowder. Initially, they were used to scare away evil spirits during festivals. Over the period of time,the art spread across Asia,Middle East and eventually Europe wher...

ASTROPHYSICS

INTRODUCTION  The Astronomical branch which deals with the physical properties of celestial objects and phenomena is known as Astrophysics. To understand the behavior and evolution of the universe,it applies principles from physics and astronomy.  In this blog post, we will explore the world of Astrophysics by knowing about its branches,phenomena ,methods of research, importance, applications and challenges faced by this branch. WHAT IS ASTROPHYSICS  A multidisciplinary field which combines the concepts from physics,astronomy and mathematics for studying the behavior and evolution of the universe is known as Astrophysics. The Physicist of this field are known as astrophysicist and they use a wide range of techniques which includes observations, experiments and theoretical models for understanding the behavior of celestial objects and phenomena.  BRANCHES OF ASTROPHYSICS  It is a very vast field which encompasses various branches which are...

THE SOLAR SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION  In this blog post,we will discuss the topic which has fascinated abd captivated humans for centuries and today also,research and exploration are active in this area. The solar system is a vast and complex place which consists of eight planets,dwarf planets,asteroids, comets and other objects which revolve around the Sun in their respective orbits. The Sun is considered as the center of the solar system as it accounts approximately for the 99.8% of the total mass. It is a massive ball of hot and glowing gas which provides light and heat to the planets. Let's discuss more about the planets,other objects of the solar system,it's formation and evolution and the explorations which had been made in the solar system so far. THE PLANETS In our solar system,the planets are divided into two main categories which are Terrestrial Planets and Gas Giants.The detail about both the categories are as follows: >Terrestrial Planets The planets in this cate...
