Suchetha Satish, 18, from India, broke the record for most languages sung in a concert.

She sang in 140 different languages to raise awareness about climate change.

It took her nine hours to complete the concert.

April 11 is Submarine Day.

A submarine, also called a sub, is a watercraft operated underwater.

The Turtle was a failure, but it led to designing a workable submarine.

Modern submarines can stay submerged for about four months.
