Question 1: How long does it take light to reach Earth from the Sun?

The Sun is approximately 93 million miles away from Earth. At the speed of light, which is about 186,282 miles per second, it takes light about 8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach us from the Sun.


Question 2: In our solar system, which planet has the shortest day?

Jupiter's day is only about 9.9 Earth hours long, the shortest of all the planets in our Solar System. This is due to its rapid rotation speed.


Question 3: Who wrote the musical 'Hamilton'?

Lin-Manuel Miranda not only wrote the music, lyrics, and book for 'Hamilton', but also starred in the title role. The musical is a modern retelling of the life of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton.



Question 4: Which is the world's most visited museum?

The Louvre Museum, located in Paris, France, is the most visited museum in the world with millions of visitors each year, attracted by its extensive art and historical collections, including the iconic Mona Lisa.


Question 5: What is the speed of light in a vacuum?

The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second, a fundamental constant of nature. The speed of light decreases when it passes through any material medium, such as glass or water.


Question 6: What is the common name for a casual button-down collar shirt often associated with America's Ivy League style?

The Oxford shirt got its name from Oxford cloth, a type of durable fabric invented by the fabric mill in Scotland during the 19th century. This shirt has become a staple of casual, preppy, and smart-casual styles.


Question 7: If you wanted to visit Mars, how long would your journey take on average?

The average journey from Earth to Mars takes about 9 months, depending on the speed of the launch, the alignment of Earth and Mars, and the exact travel path chosen.



Question 8: Where would you find the famous monument, the Sphinx?

The Sphinx is a famous ancient monument located in Giza, Egypt, near the Great Pyramids. It’s a large limestone statue in the shape of a recumbent sphinx (a mythical creature with a lion’s body and a human head). The raison d'etre of this statue is still the topic of much debate.


Question 9: What is the chemical symbol for Gold?

The chemical symbol for Gold is Au, which comes from the Latin word for gold, "Aurum."


Question 10: What is the sum of all the angles in a triangle?

Regardless of the type of triangle, the sum of the interior angles is always 180 degrees. This fact is a key principle in the study of geometry.
