We live in a time when we don’t have to go to the library and flip through thick books to gain knowledge. Today, all it takes is a few clicks in the online world and we can learn something interesting. However, there are also disadvantages to such easy access to information. There is so much of it on the internet that it is difficult to distinguish between what is true and what is not. As a result, there are many myths and fake news stories circulating online. Can you recognize them? Today, we will debunk some false information in our True or False Quiz. 

Facts 

First, let’s talk about facts, i.e., information confirmed by reliable sources, which is worth knowing. They will also be included in our True or False Quiz, and you will have to figure them out. To help you score better, we will do a little preparation first. The quiz will cover general knowledge. We have questions about geography, astronomy and biology. So let’s see what interesting facts there are in these areas. 

Interesting Facts About The World 

How much do you know about our planet? You live on it, so it’s worth getting to know your home. For example, did you know that it contains a lot of… water? Have you heard that about 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by rivers, lakes, seas, and oceans? True or false?  

Now make a note that this is absolutely true! It is not without reason that our planet is called blue, because that is what makes it stand out in the solar system. Most of this water is in the form of huge oceans, visible from space. Unfortunately, most of it is therefore salt water that is undrinkable, which is why we must continue to take good care of these natural sources of fresh water. 

Another interesting fact about the world and geography is that although Egypt is mainly associated with pyramids, most of these extraordinary structures are found in Sudan. True or false?  

This is also true, although it seems otherwise. This country in northern Africa has over two hundred of them, but these pyramids are smaller than the Egyptian ones, which is perhaps why they are not as impressive. However, it is still remarkable that there are so many ancient structures there, remnants of communities that lived there hundreds of years before our era. 

Interesting Facts About Space 

Let’s move away from planet Earth for a moment and focus on space in general. And there is a lot to focus on. It is so vast that it is difficult to comprehend. It is also difficult to imagine that there are more stars in it than there are grains of sand on the entire Earth. True or false? 

It seems unlikely, but scientists’ calculations confirm that it is the absolute truth! According to their calculations, there are many stars for every grain of sand. Admittedly, they did not count them by hand, but used special formulas to estimate approximately how many grains and how many stars there are in space, and the differences are significant.
