Trivia Tuesday: The first to Climb Mount Everest

Mount Everest, also known as Chomolungma (locally) and Sagarmatha (in Nepali) is one of the major mountains of the Himalayan Range. At 8848.86 m, it is the highest peak in the world. Located in Solukhumbhu district of Nepal, it attracts climbers from all over the world.
Sir Edmund Hillary (New Zealand) and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa (Nepal) were the first to reach the peak successfully on May 29, 1953. Their achievement made them legendary in the history of mountaineering. However, their position is not without challenge.
In June, 1924, British climbers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine ascended the mountain. They were reported to have been sighted by Noel Odell, one of the members of the expedition who remained at the Camp below the summit. Mallory and Irvine, however, never returned.
In 1933, Irvine’s ice axe was found by a Frenchman, Frank Smythe. He disclosed this fact only in 2013.
In 1999, an expedition discovered Mallory’s body in the mountain. Irvine’s body hasn’t still been found.
Since Mallory and Irvine died in the mountain, and their camera/notes have not been found, it’s doubtful if they ever summitted the Everest. But even if they did, Hillary and Sherpa will still be the first to climb the summit and return alive.

How Long Is One Day on Other Planets?

When you think of a day, you normally think of one cycle of daytime to nighttime. That is called a solar day. On Earth, a solar day is around 24 hours. But, do you know that different planets have different number of hours in their days.

When you think of a day, you normally think of one cycle of daytime to nighttime. That is called a solar day. On Earth, a solar day is around 24 hours. However, Earth’s orbit is elliptical, meaning it’s not a perfect circle. That means some solar days on Earth are a few minutes longer than 24 hours and some are a few minutes shorter.

Another way to measure a day is to count the amount of time it takes for a planet to completely spin around and make one full rotation. This is called a sidereal day. On Earth, a sidereal day is almost exactly 23 hours and 56 minutes.

We know how long an Earth day is, but how about the other planets in our solar system? How long does it take for those planets to spin one full rotation and how many number of hours each planet has?

Planet	Day Length
Mercury	1,408 hours
Venus	5,832 hours
Earth	24 hours
Mars	25 hours
Jupiter	10 hours
Saturn	11 hours
Uranus	17 hours
Neptune	16 hours
