    The rainbow does not have 7 colours, it has 7 colours we can clearly make out, a lot more we can't with the human eye and a lot of gradients were they go from one to the other between all of them.

    Isaac Newton could make out 7 colours, even though he used Blue to mean what we'd refer to as Cyan, Indigo as dark blue. Other definitions use 6 colours, some of them are based on linguistic norms and limitations.

    I never knew the moon looked like a lemon. Because the moon demonstrably does not look like a lemon.

    Agreed, oblate spheroid does not equal lemon shaped.

    Some of these are dumb. There are infinitely many colors in the rainbow. The number 7 was chosen by Newton, because 7 is a "magical" number. Speaking of Newton. According to his law of gravity, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the masses of the objects and inversly proportional to distance squared. This means any two objects in the universe attract each other, no matter how far apart they are, so the explanation that "NASA says these is a bit of gravity everywhere" is kinda laughable. It's a first-grader kind of explanation. Also, the moon is a nearly perfect shere and not at all lemon-shaped.

    TIL that plasma is the forth possible state besides gas, liquid, solid. Pretty sure that wasn't taught when I went to school.

    It's a 'fairly' recent addition, "The concept of the plasma state as a unique entity became more established in the early 1950s"

    Last one is wrong. A rainbow is a spectrum with effectively infante colours. The 'seven' is a claim picked by an early researcher who liked it as it was used to represent perfection in biblical writing.

    Not exactly. The 'spectrum' is made up of shades of the main colours we see with the náked eye. EDIT: Here we go again, downvoting reality 🙄

    Several errors : - the main chemical in air is dinitrogen, not nitrogen - light is not the "fastest" thing. It happens that the fastest speed is 299.792 km/s, and several phenomena have this speed, for example light. Another example is gravitationnal waves. -as noticed sevral times there are no 7 colors in a rainbow.

    If you want to be really pedantic you can say that the fastest thing in the Universe is 'nothing', because nothing travels faster than light.

    15 had me thinking about quantum entanglement and I have never heard the moon described as shaped like a lemon. And egg would be a better analogy as a lemon usually has distinct points at the stem and tip.

    Sorry but some questions are reallu english-speakers oriented (female of an elephant) or quite "stupid" (7 colors in a rainbow)....

    Well, German and English are closely related, but it's the same concept of elephant cow/calf in German.
