18 AnswersWords & Wordplay2 years agoWhat is an occultation in terms of astronomy?
As the name implies, it would have to do with a celestial object (a planet or star, for example) hiding another celestial object. I see on Wikipedia on articles on future dates (like centuries) on astronomical predictions about something like “Mercury will occult Neptune”. Is it, like I just mentioned, the hiding of one celestial object to another one or is it something else?

In what language is that text below in?
I am learning Czech right now, and know all the special characters or diacritics that it uses, but there are times when I confuse it with Slovak. Czech, as I know it, doesn't usually end its verbs with ť as much as Slovak does. Is the bottom text in Slovak or Czech?

4 AnswersOther - Education4 years agoHow can I learn multiple languages?
My native language is Spanish, English is my second. I want to be a polyglot. I am turning 25 in a couple months. I want to be really fluent in French, German, Czech, Swedish and Romanian as well. I want to speak, read and write in such languages too. Romance languages also are Romanian and French in addition to Spanish so I should really have French as my third language then Romanian maybe. Then English is my second language so I may learn German and Swedish afterwards. Then Czeck last. I own dictionaries in French/English and German/English. I am considering conversing like on Skype with native speakers to learn languages I aspire to learn. How can I learn such languages and how long will it take for me to learn them?
2 AnswersLanguages4 years agoDoes the Kelvin temperature scale use degrees or something else?
For example, would 306 Kelvin (306 K) be 306 degrees Kelvin or something else? The other temperature scales, especially the most used Fahrenheit and Celsius, use degrees and have degree symbols. Kelvin uses no degree symbols so how would you say the number of Kelvin if it's not degrees?
