When we were little some of always wish we could have super powers, some have superhero idol, well I have always loved The DC character called superman. Well I have always wondered why is it that superman can fly on earth, but not on Krypton. Well thank God for science superman character ability to fly on earth can be proved using elementary physics.
Why does superman fly on earth?
The Science behind superman ability to fly on earth has to do with Gravity, mass and acceleration due to gravity. Every planet has it acceleration due to gravity which depends on the mass and weight of the planet.
Well superman came from a planet which has more mass than the mass of the earth and also the acceleration due to gravity on planet Krypton is more than that of earth, and more mass means more gravitational pull. That is a person who was born on Planet Krypton will be able to float or glide if he is taken to another planet which has less mass on it. The simple explanation has can be seen when astronaut visit the moon ,they can float due to the acceleration due to gravity of the moon being less than that of earth.
The ability of superman to fly on earth is actually real. So not everything we see in film are not scientific proven.
Be curious and ask questions!!!
Interesting. Never thought about relating real-life, science based facts and fictional events from movies. I love superman though 💜
