分享五个可能会颠覆你认知的地理冷知识

分享五个可能会颠覆你认知的地理冷知识

世间万物都蕴含着很多智慧，虽然我们对很多事习以为常，但却知之甚少，所以就经常被一些“冷知识”打脸。

今天，我们挑选了几个地理上的有趣的知识和大家分享一下：

1、在金星上，一天的时间比一年的时间还长。一般形容时间过得比较慢时，我们会用“度日如年”这个成语。在金星上，用这个成语尤为形象。金星的自转很慢，自转一圈所用的时间相当于地球的243天(5832 小时)。相比之下，金星围绕太阳的公转比较快，轨道速度为35.02公里/秒，轨道周期相当于地球上的224.7天(5392.8 小时)。所以，金星的一天比一年还要长。

2、我们东部的太平洋其实比想象中要大得多，能占到地球面积的三分之一。

3、世界上距离海洋最远的陆地位于阿拉山口附近，被称作“欧亚大陆难抵极”。这个地方距离最近的海洋也有将近2500多公里。

而离陆地最远的地点是位于太平洋的“尼莫点”，被整整900万平方英里的海水包围。最近的陆块与其相隔2600多公里。

4、从整个地球史来看，曾生活过的人类高达1150多亿人，其中包括现存的70多亿人口，你也是其中的一员。上图每一个点就是1000万人，每年有大约1.4亿人诞生，大约5700万人死去，估计曾有1080亿人在地球活过并死去。

5、美国最东、最西、最南、最北的州分别是哪个州?最南边不用说了，就是夏威夷州。

英文译文

Everything in the world contains a lot of wisdom. Although we are accustomed to many things, we know very little about them, so we are often criticized by some "cold knowledge".

Today, we have selected several interesting geographical knowledge to share with everyone:

1. On Venus, a day is longer than a year. When describing time as passing slowly, we usually use the idiom "spending time like a year". On Venus, this idiom is particularly vivid. The rotation of Venus is very slow, and it takes 243 days (5832 hours) to rotate once, which is equivalent to Earth's. In contrast, Venus orbits the sun relatively fast, with an orbital speed of 35.02 kilometers per second and an orbital period equivalent to 224.7 days (5392.8 hours) on Earth. So, a day on Venus is even longer than a year.

2. The Pacific Ocean in our eastern region is actually much larger than imagined, accounting for one-third of the Earth's area.

3. The farthest land in the world from the ocean is located near the Alashan Pass, known as the "Eurasian continent difficult to reach". This place is also nearly 2500 kilometers away from the nearest ocean.

The farthest point from land is the "Nimo Point" in the Pacific Ocean, surrounded by a total of 9 million square miles of seawater. The nearest landmass is more than 2600 kilometers away from it.

4. From the entire history of the Earth, there are over 115 billion human beings who have lived before, including the existing population of over 7 billion, and you are also one of them. Each point in the above image represents 10 million people, with approximately 140 million people born and 57 million deaths each year. It is estimated that 108 billion people have lived and died on Earth.

5. Which states are the easternmost, westernmost, southernmost, and northernmost in the United States? The southernmost part, needless to say, is the state of Hawaii.
