Calculations, time, weather and dates

Do not miss out the calculator option. Just write the calculations you want to do and Google will calculate automatically. You will see the result under the first Google result.

If you are curious and want to know the time in any given part of the world, write the place for which you want to know the time and Google will tell you. You can also see real time information about a flight – just search for the airline followed by the word “flight” and the flight number.

Sometimes it is a bit harder to find what we are looking for. A good tip for this is typing the search with quotation marks so that Google only searches for results containing that phrase.

The same goes for dates: if you want to search for an event in a specific time period, just add the years and the search engine will tell you what happened within that interval.

If some day you are in a hurry and you cannot stop to check out the weather forecast, Google can help you quickly: type “weather” in the search engine and you will see the local weather of the location you want.
