🤏 take a hit of this and find out, mannn

Scroll up and see!
Fun fact: A real space elevator would need to be 458x as long to reach geostationary orbit.
At the speed of earth’s current fastest elevator, it would take almost a month to reach the top.Why does the temperature increase at 40,000m?
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles of a thing. In the vacuum of space, there are very few particles, and they are mostly moving very very fast, which gives them high energy and high temperature.
I forget what happens at 40,000 m that causes the shift from cold atmosphere to “this is space” but that’s how the temperature is increasing – as you climb there are fewer and fewer particles, moving faster and faster.
Good question. I don’t know the answer but it started to get warmer from the stratosphere at 16km
That was really cool, thanks!
It depends on the species, but the highest recorded bird was a Rüppell’s Vulture at 37,000 feet (11,300 meters).
That is amazing 🪶
Also the Wikipedia article has a link to this amazing piece: the highest-flying bird.
Also, and this is kind of morbid, turns out the reason they know it was flying so high is because one of them got sucked into an aircraft engine at that height…
P.S. look at the Mallard Duck overachieving on that list!
That’s fucking wild, wtf is a vulture gonna do at 37,000 feet. Ain’t no carrion up there buddy, overachieving ass bird smh.
“Leave me the fuck alone” or “maybe there’s something to east above that clouds” 🤷♂️
I guess it took a too strong current.
Vultures are badass. One of my absolute favorite birds to see.
High enough to fly far far away
How high are you now?
Condition: grounded, but determined to try.
Good and you?
Due to the density of your bones you would be flightless.
Twice as high as a butterfly.
I read it in a book when I took a look!
The reading rainbow ❤️🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🌈
If I was a bass, how low could I go? 🤔
Could you go down low?
All the way to the flo’ ?E1, about 41.2Hz
Sea or plain
Profoundly.
I wish I had the voice of a basso profundo…
A Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird could get you up to 85,000 feet (26.000 meters).
I guess I have to count this as a type of bird!
Albeit a decomissioned one. 😥
Flightless
Lmao birds are not real
Penguin = 0 m
Higher than Senator’s socks!
I don’t get this one
