India’s neighboring countries
Facts on the
neighboring countries of India. At a Glance:-
1. India shares its borders with
China, Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka.
2. The South Asian Association for
Regional Cooperation (SAARC) has been formed for the purpose of peace, stability, and economic progress in the
region through mutual cooperation.
3. India and China have had links
since ancient times. The Panchsheel Pact represented an important stage in our relationship. A border dispute led to a
war with China in 1962. A long
time after the war, relations between the two countries have begun to improve.
4. India and Pakistan are parts of
what was formerly one country. We share a common tradition and culture. But we have had major wars and
recently there was the Kargil conflict.
This has severed relations between the two countries. We are still trying to develop and maintain a friendly
relationship with Pakistan.
5. India helped the people of
Bangladesh achieve their freedom from Pakistan’s domination. Strong political, economic, and cultural ties
have been formed and kept up with
Bangladesh.
6. India and Sri Lanka have ancient,
mythological, historical, and cultural ties. There has been some problem concerning people of Indian origin in Sri
Lanka but our political and trade
relations have been good all along.

Facts about solar
system
1.
That the Sun
makes up 99.86% of the Solar System's mass! That means that all the planets put
together (including Jupiter) as well as all the asteroids only make up about
0.14% of the Solar System's mass.
2.
That Jupiter's
magnetic field is so massive that it pours billions of Watts into Earths
magnetic field every day!
3.
That a massive
body 100km wide travelling at over 512,000km/h crashed into Mercury to form the
Caloris Basin. The impaact was so great it sent shockwaves round Mercury
creating its hilly lineated terrain.
4.
That just a
pinhead of the Sun's raw material could kill someone up to 160 kilometres away!
5.
That the length
of a Plutonian year is 248 of our years! That means that one orbit of the Sun
takes about 2 and a half Earth centuries. That's a quarter of a Millenium!
6.
That Olympus Mons
(on Mars) is the largest Volcanic mountain in the Solar System. It is 600 km
across and 27 km high! And you thought Mount Everest (about 8 and a half km
high) was tall! To see a great overhead picture of it click here.
7.
That a Supernova
explosion produces more energy in its first ten seconds than the Sun during the
whole of its 10 billion year lifetime and that for a brief period, it creates
more energy than the rest of a galaxy put together!!
8.
That the comet
with the longest ever recorded tail is the Great Comet of 1843. Its tail
stretched over 800 million kilometres! This is about the same distance the
Earth is from Jupiter!
9.
That the energy
in the sunlight we see today started out in the core of the Sun 30,000 years
ago - it spent most of this time passing through the dense atoms that make the
sun and just 8 minutes to reach us once it had left the Sun!
10. That almost all of the heavier elements in your body
(eg calcium, iron, carbon) were made somewhere in supernovae explosions!
11. That some rocks found on Earth are actually pieces of
Mars!
12. That Saturn has such a low density that it would float
if put in water!
13. That due to the fact that water expands when heated,
the Atantic ocean increses in width by 3cm every year!
14. That some volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io eject
material at speeds of up to 1km/second! This is about 20 times faster than the
volcanoes here on Earth can manage it!
15. That the amount of the Sun's energy reaching the
Earth's atmosphere (known as the Solar constant) is equivalent to 1.37 kw of
electricity per square metre!
