Why CFC (chloro floro carbans)used in Refridgerator?

  Early refrigerators used a variety of potentially unpleasant and dangerous chemicals for refrigerants, for example, ammonia and sulphur dioxide.

Scientists discovered an entirely new range of chemicals known as chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, which were neither toxic nor flammable, seemed practically non-reactive, and had suitable thermal properties.

They were introduced as refrigerants in the 1930s, relatively soon after their discovery. Later, in the 1960s, CFCs found another use as blowing agents for foam insulation, to replace the less effective glass fibre insulation then used in refrigerator cabinets.

Alas, we now know that these chemicals have the potential to damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere. The ozone layer in the upper atmosphere, high above our weather systems, absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun and prevents it from reaching the surface of the planet, where it can be harmful to life.

How the sun and the moon have played an important role in the development of Indian calendar?

  The sun and the moon have played a pivotal role in the development of the Indian calendar, shaping its structure and principles. Here's a breakdown of their influence: The Sun and the Solar Year: Basis of the calendar: The Indian calendar is primarily based on the solar year, which is the time it takes for the Earth to orbit the sun once. This period is approximately 365. 25 days. Solar months: The year is divided into 12 solar months, each named after a specific constellation through which the sun passes. These months are called māsa . The Moon and the Lunar Month: Lunar cycle: The moon's orbit around the Earth is approximately 29. 5 days. This period is known as a lunar month or chandra māsa . Lunar days: Each lunar month is further divided into 30 lunar days, called tithi . Lunar fortnights: The lunar month is divided into two fortnights: the sukḷ pakṣa (bright half) and the kṛṣṇa pakṣa (dark half). Lunar festivals: Many important Indian festivals are cele...
