How does a stalactite form?
== == A "stalactite" also known as dripstone, is like a stone icicle on the ceiling of a limestone cave. It develops when water, in which minerals (usually primarily calcium carbonate) is dissolved, drips though cracks in cave ceiling. As the water falls, it leaves behind microscopic amounts of the mineral. Over time, this collects to form an icicle-like structure. Note that a "stalagmite" is like an upside-down stalactite growing up from the floor. When water drips from a stalactite and hits the cave floor, there is often a microscopic mineral deposit left there as well. This deposit builds up over time. It is possible, by the way, for a stalactite and stalagmite to meet, forming a mineral column.
In your own words explain how a stalactite forms?
Most stalactites are limestone. Water, often rainwater, seeps through material which causes it to absorb carbon dioxide, as it seeps further it dissolves limestone. Then when it reaches the ceiling of a cave it slowly begins to forms droplets. As these dry they deposit the limestone on the ceiling. This happens again and again, one drop at a time, and very slowly over years this deposit grows forming a stalactite.

Why ground floor height is more then 1st floor?
There are lots of reasons this may be true. I suspect the biggest reason is that somewhere on that floor is the heating and cooling equipment, water heating, etc. and the ceiling height is necessary for that equipment. If this is true then you also have the bulk of your ducts, water pipes, etc. in the ceiling of the ground floor and these are often run between an artificial drop ceiling and the actual structural ceiling.

How long did it take Michelangelo to paint the ceiling to the Sistine chapel?
4 years. He stopped and started on it and often redid what he all ready had done. It was 70 feet from floor to ceiling and he had to erect scaffolding to reach the ceiling and laid on his back painting. I have seen the ceiling 3 times and since it was cleaned the figures look like they are moving. The Vatican has a web site for the ceiling so go there to see it.
