What are Black Holes? - Explained!

Image
Hello Guys! Welcome back to KidsCast! We are here back with an amazing article named What are Black Holes? An amazing nature piece that is still in the research and fascinates all space lovers. Get ready to read this piece of KidsCast! What are Black Holes? So first, the most basic question that arises from the title itself is 'What are Black Holes?' So, Black holes are a part of space where the gravitational pull is so strong that even light that travels at a tremendous speed can't escape from it. That's the reason why we can't see black holes in our sky because as you saw light is also trapped in black holes. How are Black Holes formed? Now, this is important to know how are black holes formed.  Most black holes are formed from the remnants of a large star that dies in a supernova explosion. If the total mass of the star's core is large enough that is about 3 times of our sun, it can be proven that the force of gravity becomes the most powerful force. Howeve...

Hey kids! Welcome back to KidsCast! In this special article, well for us every article is special, but anyway, we are going to know about our Moon's origin. Have you ever wondered where the Moon which is revolving around the Earth, came from? Well, it is an interesting story, and let's know about it! About the Early Earth:  For understanding how the moon was formed, first let us study a bit about the Early Earth, or the Earth which was just born, billions of years ago!  Earth, just like any other rocky planet, was born when the solar system was arranged in a proper format, and when gravity pulled the swirling gas and dust (which was orbiting the sun) in to become a rocky planet.  First, the rocky core was formed, when meteors, rocks, and many elements collided with the young and molten earth. Then, more and more layers of rocks, and elements formed by millions of collisions. This young earth was extremely hot. But this was not the final earth we have today, in fact, the ...

  Hey kids! Welcome to another brilliant article from KidsCast! Have you ever wondered that before us, dogs, cats, lions, cows, and all the animals, which was the World's First Animal? Well, today, we are here to know about it! So let us begin!  About the World's First Animal:  The world's first animal was Dickinsonia . Dickinsonia is one of the first animals from marine life, and the picture above is not Dickinsonia but the cast of its fossil. It is now extinct, but we can still trace back to our beginning to this animal. Its primary type of animal is still unknown, but many scientists say it belongs to the group of fungi . Some scientists also say that it belongs to a kind of animal kingdom that is now extinct (or no more living).  Dickinsonia used to exist in the parts of the world which are now Australia, China, India, Russia, and Ukraine. It was a soft-bodied creature that moved along the sea bed and used to eat microbes and algae.  Its Structure: Fossils o...

  Hey kids! Welcome to KidsCast! Have you ever wondered, what our own world, our own earth looked like, so many years ago? In fact, at the time when Jurassic Dinosaurs were there? Yes, so old. So today we're going to learn about the Earth, when it was just one continent, and when all the continents we have today were joined together. So let us begin! What was Pangaea?  Pangaea (also known as Pangea ), was a supercontinent, or you can say when all the continents of the world were combined, the Pangaea was that whole supercontinent. Just like you can cut a cake into a lot of pieces, in the same way, Pangaea got divided into seven continents or so. In this way, one side of Earth was completely ocean, and almost whole one side was land, as all the continents were combined. Pangaea was surrounded by a global ocean named Panthalassa . It was completely combined from the time period of 299 million to about 273 million years ago . This time period is called Permian Epoch . The superc...
