If Earth didnt have moon A day on Earth would be much, much shorter; only about 6-to-8 hours.

That's because the moon's tidal friction slows the earth's rotation gradually. So, if there never was a moon, earth's rotation would've been 3-4 times faster than what is it now, so our days would be shorter. So, there would be 1000-1400 days in a year. Our axis's tilt would differ widely over time.

The lightning we see is caused by the electricity heating the air to 30,000°C (54,000°F) and turning it into plasma briefly.

The sound of thunder is also caused by the transformation of air to plasma, which makes the air expand incredibly quickly.

If you lived in a basement your whole life, you would age a few nanoseconds longer than someone living in a second-story apartment.

This is due to stronger gravity closer to Earth slowing time more, so time literally passes slightly faster upstairs near a building's top.

When a massive star explodes as a supernova, it can briefly outshine its entire galaxy; in 1054, a supernova was so bright it was visible during the day for a month and at night for nearly two years.

The life span of a taste bud is about 10 days.

Your taste isn't the only thing that evolves as you get older—your literal taste buds are changing all the time.

In fact, "taste bud cells undergo continual turnover even in adulthood, and their average lifespan has been estimated as approximately 10 days," according to findings published in the journal Neuroscience.
