Body care before summer
It is common for people to worry about their physical appearance , especially when summer approaches. Almost no diet or physical exercise routine is too demanding when it comes to looking for a spectacular body to show off on vacation . We want to look radiant because the heat prevents us from hiding the imperfections of our body, something very simple with the various items of clothing that we usually wear during the months of low temperatures.
Although it may seem ridiculous to certain people that others remember to take care of their body only once a year, it is already a characteristic and, why not, funny trait of our species. Ultimately, as long as the goal of improving physical fitness does not become an obsession that puts health at risk, there is nothing wrong with it; On the contrary, at least for a few months it gives us the opportunity to purge our body and tone our muscles.
Hollywood stars want to look radiant in front of the cameras.
Radiant celebrities
Movie and music stars , on the other hand, do not always have the option of neglecting their figure ; They can do it, but the malice with which photographers portray celebrities is more effective when they have a few extra kilos, or when they have chosen not to wear makeup, as well as in scenarios where the lighting highlights certain facial defects (wrinkles or scars, for example).
For these reasons, looking radiant often protects celebrities from the inevitable humiliating photographs that feed the egos of tabloid journalists. This leads to two very common situations: the public tends to think that stars are very superficial people, since they are always concerned about their physical appearance; When stars ignore the risk of being photographed without makeup, many of their followers are disappointed to notice that they are not perfect .
The term in physics
If we focus on physics , radiant is an element that manages to radiate (that is, generate the radiation of some kind of particle or wave). The concept is also used to mention the point on a celestial sphere at which, apparently, the trajectories of different shooting stars that are part of the same stellar shower converge. This particularity is a product of visual perspective.
It is worth mentioning that the radiant is an area of the celestial sphere and not a point. Their dispersion is due to the slight deviation that the trajectories of the corpuscles present, due to the attraction of the Earth and the resistance that the air exerts on the particles with non-regular shapes.
