Earth. This big ol’ ball of dirt and water that us humans have the privilege of calling home. This year, Earth will be celebrating its 4.54 billionth birthday, and we can’t wait to be there for the celebration – literally everyone’s invited. Over the years, there have been some incredible scientists that have set about uncovering all the truths of not only our planet but also the entire universe.
However, has someone ever told you a fact that was simply unbelievable? Perhaps you headed to the internet to find out if they were telling the truth, and found out that they indeed were. It could be time to head back to school as we look at some of the most bizarre facts out there in search of plenty of answers. Why don’t they teach us this stuff in the classroom? Maybe they could call it “Things you really should know about our planet that will blow your mind 101”?

In fact, it doesn’t just weigh more than all of them combined; it weighs more than all of them combined multiplied by 900! These stars only measure at about 12.5 miles across, but that doesn’t stop them from breaking the scales.
Neutron stars are incredibly dense as they have a mass that is around one a half times that of our sun. That means that if someone were to cut out a sugar cube size piece and brought it to Earth, it would weigh in at more than 100 million tons.
