The World's Largest and Heaviest Plane



  This is Antonov An-225 Mriya, one the biggest flying object that man have ever build. The AN-225 has 32 wheels and the wings span 291 feet wide (88.4 meters to be precisely). The Payload is 250,000 kg and it can carry up to 640,000 kg weight while the aircraft flying. It has max speed 850 km/hour and it can airlift Buran space shuttle/ Energia rocket’s boosters easily on the back.

    The giant aircraft is part of Soviet space program and it was first flown in 21 December 1988. As size comparison, The Antonov An-225 is larger than any American aircraft/Boeing product such as Airbus A380, Boeing 747 Large Cargo Freighter, and Lockheed C-5 Galaxy.
The maximum gross weight of the plane is 640 tonnes and so far only 1 active AN-225 available in the planet. Because of the unique ability to airlift huge size materials and supplies, the aircraft was often employed by other country such as Canadian and US government to transport large military supplies to their armies in Middle East. In 2004, Antonov AN-225 earned Guinness Book of Record award because of its 240 active roles in International issues. This award was referred by FAI/ Federation Aeronautique Internationale

The Oldest Person in the World

hi guys :)
age 40 in 1915

Jeanne Louise Calment was born in Arles, France on February 21, 1875. She once met Vincent Van Gogh in her father's shop. Her genes may have contributed to her longevity as her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to the age of 86. She married a distant cousin at the age of 21. Her only grandson died in 1963. She rode a bicycle to the age of 100.

The Heaviest Human Being Ever Recorded

The official record holder

Jon Brower Minnoch started gaining weight from his early childhood. At the age of 12 his weight was 132 kg (292 lbs). He married Jeannette, a woman of normal weight and had two sons. Minnoch was admitted to hospital for 16 months where he lost 419 kg but after being discharged, his weight doubled. Unfortunately he died on September 10, 1983, at age 42.

 
the unofficial record holder



Carol Yager was weight of 727 kg (1,600 lb; 114.5 st) not confirmed. Documented weight loss of 236 kg (520 lb; 37.2 st) in three months by natural means: a 5,000 kJ (1,200 kcal) per day diet. Weight at death was 545 kg (1,200 lb; 85.8 st).



The Shortest Person in the World All Time.


The shortest adult human being whose age and height have ever been verified by The Guinness Book of World Records was Gul Mohammed, from New Delhi, India. He stood just 1 for 10.4 inches (57cm) tall, making him nearly three centimetres shorter than Junrey Balawing. Gul Mohammed died at the age of 40 in 1997 from respiratory complications, reportedly caused by heavy smoking.

The Most Powerful Volcanic Eruption of the 20th Century

   
The largest eruption of the 20th century occurred in 1912, from June 6 to June 8, to form Novarupta. Rated a 6 on the volcanic explosivity index the 60 hour long eruption expelled 13 to 15 cubic kilometers (3.1 to 3.6 cu mi) of magma, 30 times as much as the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. The erupted magma resulted in more than 17 cubic kilometers (4.1 cu mi) of air fall and approximately 11 cubic kilometers (2.6 cu mi) of ash-flow tuff Only the 1991 eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines was of a similar magnitude during the 20th century, ejecting 11 cubic kilometers (2.6 cu mi) of tephra.At least two larger eruptions occurred in the 19th century: the 1815 eruption of Tambora (150 km3 (36.0 cu mi) of tephra) and the 1883 eruption of Indonesia's Krakatoa (20 km3 (4.8 cu mi) of tephra).

Eruption of such a large quantity of magma from underneath the Mount Katmai area resulted in the formation of a 2-kilometer (1.2 mi) wide funnel shaped vent and the collapse of the summit of Mount Katmai creating a 600-meter (2,000 ft) deep,3 by 4 km (1.9 by 2.5 mi) caldera.

The eruption ended with the extrusion of a lava dome that plugged the vent. The 295 feet (90 m) high and 1,180 feet (360 m) wide dome is what is now referred to as Novarupta.

The Tallest Person in History

with his father

Robert Wadlow was a pituitary giant, someone who grows enormously due to an overactive pituitary gland. He was born in Alton, Illinois on February 22, 1918, a completely normal baby, 8 ½ pounds. However, by the time he was a year old he weighed twice normal, 44 pounds. By nine years he'd reached 6', 2", by sixteen he hit 7', 10", and weighed nearly 400 pounds. At the time of his death in 1940 he was 8', 11.1" tall and weighed 439 pounds making him the world’s tallest person in history, according to the Guinness Book of Records, surpassing the record previously held by an 8', 4" inch Irishman who died in 1877.

World's Largest Sea water Lake by Volume


The salty Caspian Sea is the world's largest land-locked body of water. It contains approximately 18,900 cubic miles of water (78,700 cubic kilometers).It is in an endorheic basin (it has no outflows) and is bounded to the north by Russia, to the south by Iran, western Azerbaijan, and eastern Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan.

The World's Highest Mountain


Mount Everest is the world's highest  mountain, with a peak at 8,850 metres (29,035 ft) above sea level. It is located in the Mahalangur section of the Himalayas on the Nepal side of Nepal-China (Tibet) border.
 The peak of Mount Everest is 8,850 meters (29,035 feet) above sea level. This high elevation gives Mount Everest the distinction of being the mountain with the highest altitude.

The World's Largest Desert


he Sahara (Arabic: الصحراء الكبرىAṣ Ṣaḥrā´ al Kubrā, English: The Great Desert) is the world's second largest desert, after Antarctica. At over 9,400,000 square kilometres (3,630,000 sq mi), it covers most of Northern Africa, making it almost as large as Europe or the United States. The Sahara stretches from the Red Sea, including parts of the Mediterranean coasts, to the outskirts of the Atlantic Ocean. To the south, it is delimited by the Sahel, a belt of semi-arid tropical savanna that composes the northern region of central and western Sub-Saharan Africa.

The World's Highest Waterfall

Angel Falls (Salto Ángel) in Venezuela is the highest waterfall in the world. The falls are 3230 feet in height with an uninterrupted drop of 2647 feet. Angel Falls are located on a tributary of the Rio Caroni. The falls are formed when the tributary stream falls from the top of Auyantepui (a tepui is a flat-topped structure surrounded by cliffs - similar to a mesa).

The Deepest Part of the World Trench/ Ocean


The Mariana Trench is the deepest part of the world's oceans, and the lowest elevation of the surface of the Earth's crust. It is located in the western Pacific Ocean, to the east of the Mariana Islands. The trench is about 2,550 kilometres (1,580 mi) long but has a mean width of only 69 kilometres (43 mi). It reaches a maximum-known depth of about 10.91 kilometres (6.78 mi) at the Challenger Deep, a small slot-shaped valley in its floor, at its southern end, although some unrepeated measurements place the deepest portion at 11.03 kilometres (6.85 mi). If Mount Everest, the highest mountain on Earth at 8,848 metres (29,029 ft), was set in the deepest part of the Mariana Trench, there would be 2,076 metres (6,811 ft) of water left above it.

The Largest Forest in the World





The Amazon Rainforest (in Portuguese, Floresta Amazônica or Amazônia; Spanish Selva Amazónica, Amazonía or usually Amazonia), also known in English as Amazonia or the Amazon Jungle, is a moist broadleaf forest that covers most of the Amazon Basin of South America. This basin encompasses seven million square kilometers (1.7 billion acres), of which five and a half million square kilometers (1.4 billion acres) are covered by the rainforest. This region includes territory belonging to nine nations. The majority of the forest is contained within Brazil, with 60% of the rainforest, followed by Peru with 13%, and with minor amounts in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname and France (French Guiana). States or departments in four nations bear the name Amazonas after it. The Amazon represents over half of the planet's remaining rainforests, and it comprises the largest and most species-rich tract of tropical rainforest in the world.

What is the Longest River?

The Nile River is the longest river in the world.
The Nile flows into the Mediterranean Sea.
The largest source of the Nile is Lake Victoria.
The Nile has a length of about 6,695 kilometers (4,160 miles).
Its average discharge is 3.1 million litres (680,000 gallons) per second.
The Nile basin is huge and includes parts of Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, Congo (Kinshasa), Kenya.
The name Nile comes from the Greek “neilos”, which means valley.
The Ancient Egyptians called the river Ar or Aur (black) because of the colour of the sediment left after the river’s annual flood.
