- Large fuel tanks are part of petrol pump infrastructure.
- These tanks are hide when the petrol pump is built.
- The underground tanks hold the petrol.
- The petrol is stored underground where you can't see it.

6. How Much Water Does the Sun Evaporate Daily?
- The Sun does something amazing every day:
- Did you know how much water does the sun evaporate daily?
- It evaporates 1.2 quadrillion liters of water from Earth.
- This is part of the water cycle.
- How the water cycle works:
- Sun heats water
- Water turns into vapor (evaporates)
- Vapor forms clouds
- Clouds make rain
- Rain returns water to Earth
- The same water keeps going through this cycle.
- Important fact: The total amount of water on Earth stays the same.
- This process is like a big recycling system for water.
- The Sun's power drives this whole cycle.
- 1.2 quadrillion is a very big number:
- It's 1,200,000,000,000,000 liters
- This shows how powerful the Sun is.
- It's an example of a natural cycle on Earth.
- This process is crucial for life on Earth.
7. Rogue Black Holes
- Most black holes stay in one place.
- But some black holes move through space:
- These are called rogue black holes
- And if anything comes in front of a Black Hole, it will get absorbed into it
- One example is Gaia BH1:
- It's 5000 light years from Earth
- It's in our Milky Way galaxy
- It was named Gaia BH1 because it was found by the Gaia Telescope:
- This telescope belongs to the European Space Agency
- What's special about Gaia BH1:
- It moves from one galaxy to another
- Scientists think there might be more black holes near Earth:
- Many of these could be undetected black holes
- It is nearly impossible to detect Black Holes, and doing so is extremely hard or challenging.
- Finding these hidden black holes is hard for astronomers.
- This shows that space is full of surprises.
- Rogue black holes challenge what we know about space.
- The Gaia Telescope helps us learn about these objects.
- This discovery is changing how we understand black holes.
- It shows that even our own galaxy has mysteries to solve.
