What were some major events in 1957?

These were the post WW2 years for the UK/GB and was the year that there were still bomb sites across the country, it was also the year that businesses started to get back on their feet, though there was still ration books. Trams and Trolley buses were means of transport in london. It was also the year that Queen Elizabeth 11 got married, and that brought a great deal of joy to the country. It was also the year that the National Health System was started, which helped the poorer classes, no longer would they be worried about calling a doctor out.

On top of that, it has began to see Pakistan /India, which were former colonies of UK / GB getting independence. They were the second / third countries that achieved independence in post World War 2 with Jordan started the trend a year earlier.

Depends on where you lived. If you were a German, you were hiding in the fields, the alleys, under houses...anywhere you could find to get away from Russian soldiers that were full of lust and revenge. All the German men were dead so there was no one to protect you...and if you made it through to the early 1950's you were very lucky.

If you were living in Jamaica you were probably sitting in a rocking chair outside of your hut, smoking some very potent marijuana, and musing about how good your life was.

If you were living in the United States you were being introduced to the new corporate idea of working 50-60 hours a week, making lots of money, but not really finding happiness because you didn't get to spend a lot of time with family or relax and enjoy the beauty of the United States.

What part of Australia sees the sun first?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Since the earth doesn't stop and start, one needs a scenario to answer your question.

One way to think about this question is to position yourself at the International Date Line (roughly 180° longitude) and consider that the earth measures the dawn of a new day along that line.

In this case, Russia just east of the Bering Strait is the first to be touched by the sun that day.

However, Japan names itself as the 'Land of the Rising Sun'.

How many hours in a day in Mercury?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are 59 (Earth) days in a day on Mercury. That is 1416 hours.

* * * * *

If you are going to go down to the level of hours, make sure the figure for days is sufficiently precise. A mercury day (sidereal rotation period) is 58.646 earth days = 1407.5 hours.

However, because of Mercurys slow rotation, one full day - sunrise to sunrise takes two Mercury years.

So a full day is 87.9691 x 2 = 175.9382 Earth days or 4,222.5168 hours

A daylight day is one Mercury year or 2,111.2584 Hours

ravenjaja:there are 1416 hours in a day on mercury.believe us. :)
