Chang'e-6 carried two kilograms of lunar soil, how many catties does this weigh on Earth?
Today we are going to talk about the lunar soil of Chang'e-6, it is a big baby! I heard that it is only 2 kilograms, so how many catties are these 2 kilograms on the earth? Don't worry, let me do the math for you.
First of all, let's clarify the unit conversion. 1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams, while 1 kilogram is equal to 500 grams. So, to convert 2 kg to catty, we need to multiply the weight by 2.
2 kg = 2 × 1000 g = 2000 g
Then, we divide 2000 grams by 500 to get the weight in catties.
2000g ÷ 500 = 4 catties
Therefore, the 2 kilograms of lunar soil carried by Chang'e-6 are equivalent to 4 catties on Earth. Does it feel heavier? After all, this is soil from the moon, and every gram counts!
Speaking of Chang'e-6, we have to mention its landing site - Inner Mongolia Siziwang Banner. This place was chosen because of its flat terrain and dry climate, which is ideal for spacecraft to return to Earth. Just imagine, if Chang'e-6 landed in a place full of mountains, it would be troublesome!
The Chang'e-6 returner is the key equipment for the entire mission. It consists of a lander, which is responsible for landing on the surface of the moon and taking soil samples, and an ascender, which is responsible for bringing the samples back to Earth. This is a complex project that requires overcoming many technical and engineering challenges, such as thermal protection, landing and ascent, and more.
Of course, these are inseparable from the efforts of the Chang'e-6 mission team. They come from various institutions such as the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and are experts in various fields. It is because of their hard work and close cooperation that the Chang'e-6 mission was made possible and made an important contribution to human exploration of the Moon.
In my opinion, the success of the Chang'e-6 mission not only marks the progress of China's space technology, but also adds confidence to mankind's journey of exploring the universe. As the saying goes: "Exploring the unknown is the eternal pursuit of human beings." ”
However, I still have a question about the lunar soil carried by Chang'e-6. Since it's so precious, why not bring a little more? Is 2 kg too little? You know, 2 kilograms of soil may not be enough to plant a tree on Earth!
Of course, I also understand the technical difficulties and limitations. But as a melon eater, I can't help but want to take a few more looks at the soil from the moon. After all, this is the first time we humans have taken samples from the far side of the moon!
Overall, the success of the Chang'e-6 mission not only shows us the strength of China's aerospace industry, but also makes us look forward to the exploration of the universe. Hopefully, in the near future, we'll be able to see more surprises from the Moon, Mars, and beyond!
