In chemistry,<strong> a mole refers to a basic unit of measurement  based on Avogadro&#8217;s number, 6.02 x 10^23<\/strong> (which is why it is traditionally celebrated on October 23, between the hours of 6:02 AM and 6:02 PM).<\/p>\n<p>For a fascinating explanation of how Avogadro came up with this rather odd number, I suggest you <strong>watch this short but informative video<\/strong> from <a href=\"http:\/\/getchemistryhelp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GetChemistryHelp.com<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qmCAnw7D17g\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>To learn <strong>more about the furry kind of moles<\/strong>, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/a-z-animals.com\/animals\/mole\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a-z-animals.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on skin moles, including <strong>how to tell if they are cancerous<\/strong>, check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cancer.org\/cancer\/skincancer-melanoma\/detailedguide\/melanoma-skin-cancer-signs-and-symptoms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.cancer.org<\/a> .<\/p>\n<p>And for more fun ideas for daily celebrations, check out this post: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/2012\/03\/27\/make-every-month-more-memorable\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Making Every Month More Memorable<\/a>.
