Venus rotation
All the planets in the solar system rotate anticlockwise, except Venus. It is the only planet that rotates clockwise.
Largest pearl
The largest pearl ever found was 620 carats.
Dead Sea
Did you know fishes cannot live in the Dead Sea because the water has too much salt in it?
Winter of 1932
The winter of 1932 was so cold that Niagara Falls froze completely solid.
Sun Size
The sun is 330,330 times larger than the earth!
Earth
Earth is the only planet not named after a god.
Honey
Honey is the only food that does not spoil. Honey found in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs has been tasted by archaeologists and found edible.
Worldwide water use
On average, how much water is used worldwide each day?
About 400 billion gallons.
Softest mineral
What is the softest of all minerals?
Talc is the softest of minerals. It is commonly used to make talcum powder.
Lightning per second
How many lightning strikes occur worldwide every second?
On average, about 100. Those are just the ones that hit the ground, though. During any given minute, there are more than a thousand thunderstorms around the Earth causing some 6,000 flashes of lightning. A lot of it goes from cloud-to-cloud.

Volcano
What is the origin of the word "volcano"?
It derives from Vulcan, the Roman god of fire.
Deepest lake
What is the worlds deepest lake?
Lake Baikal in the south central part of Siberia is 5,712 feet (1.7 kilometers) deep. It's about 20 million years old and contains 20 percent of Earth's fresh liquid water.
Fastest surface wind
What is the fastest surface wind ever recorded?
The fastest "regular" wind that's widely agreed upon was 231 mph (372 kph), recorded at Mount Washington, New Hampshire, on April 12, 1934. But during a May 1999 tornado in Oklahoma, researchers clocked the wind at 318 mph (513 kph). For comparison, Neptune's winds can rage to 900 mph (1,448 kph).
Deepest place in the ocean
What's the deepest place in the ocean?
The greatest known depth is 36,198 feet (6.9 miles or 11 kilometers) at the Mariana Trench, in the Pacific Ocean well south of Japan near the Mariana Islands.
Deserted surface
About one-third of the Earths land surface is desert?
Largest lake
What is the largest lake in the world?
By size and volume it is the Caspian Sea, located between southeast Europe and west Asia.
Largest ocean
Which of the Earths oceans is the largest?
The Pacific Ocean covers 64 million square miles (165 million square kilometers). It is more than two times the size of the Atlantic. It has an average depth of 2.4 miles (3.9 kilometers).
How much water is in the oceans
What percentage of the worlds water is in the oceans?
About 97 percent. Oceans make up about two-thirds of Earth's surface, which means that when the next asteroid hits the planet, odds are good it will splash down.
Driest place on Earth
What's the driest place on Earth?
A place called Arica, in Chile, gets just 0.03 inches (0.76 millimeters) of rain per year. At that rate, it would take a century to fill a coffee cup.
Longest river
What is the longest river?
The Nile River in Africa is 4,160 miles (6,695 kilometers) long.

Try and make them like organic nature based. Like the leaves of a blah blah tree can be used to blah blah. Avoid negative things like people dying.
