These can measure earthquakes even at great distances and calculate their strength and location. The Richter scale was  invented in 1935 by seismologist Charles F. Richter and Beno Gutenberg . It indicate the magnitude or strength of an earthquake based on the size of the seismic waves . The biggest earthquake is a billion times greater than the smallest. 0 Detected by sensitive seismographs 1 Detected by instrument 2 Lowest felt by human 3 Slight vibration; more than 100,000 a year around the world 4 Up to 15,000 a year; at 4.5, would be detected by Seismographs worldwide,but cause little damage 5 3000 a year ; the 1960 earthquake in Agadir, Morocco was 5.6  6 100 a year world wide 7 20 a year;the 1995 earthquake in Kobe, japan was 7.2 8 Major destructive earthquakes; average two a year; the 1904 San Francisc

Fact about Sun

The sun is 149,597,893 km from the earth and has a diameter of 1,391,940 km. This is more than 108 times larger than earth. Its mass is equivalent to 99.98 per cent of the mass of the entire solar system. The sun is mostly made up of two light gas hydrogen and helium. It also include a relative lower quantity of gold. Its name come from Helios, the Greek word for sun. The sun has surface temperature of 5888K an at the core it reach upto 56,000,000K .  at the center of  the sun a continuous fusion is taking place in which hydrogen is converted into helium and further more. actually its color is white as seen in space ; but the yellow surface we see is called the photosphere.   The sun rotates once every 25.4 days,but because it is not solid hence its pole has a different rate , taking as much as 36 days to complete a single revolution. Solar eclipses when the  moon lies between the earth and the sun, it blocks out the light causing either a partial or eclipse. At thi
