2. Check Flight Status

Google tracks everything which is coming and going into your mail. so you must have noticed that when you are going to catch a flight google already knows it and update you on the current status.

You can also check the status of any flight by searching the flight name & flight number which in my case is Go air G8 285. So every time you don’t have to visit the website and track the status. Not only that google shows the terminal, gate no and next three days’ status as well.

3. Perform Quick Unit Conversions

Google can quickly perform all kinds of unit conversions, be it an area, frequency, temperature, or bunch of things. All you have to do is to type “convert one unit to another unit” which in my case is “Fahrenheit to celsius”.

You may find a bunch of lists of conversions when you tap on the Temperature dropdown button. Using Google’s unit converter, you can convert:

  • Area (for example, square foot to square mile)
  • Data transfer rate (for example, kilobyte per second to a gigabyte per second)
  • Digital storage (for example, megabyte to gigabyte)
  • Energy (for example, joule to kilocalorie)
  • Frequency (for example, hertz to kilohertz)
  • Fuel economy (for example, kilometer per liter to miles per gallon)
  • Length (for example, foot to the yard)
  • Mass (for example, pound to the ounce)
  • Plane angle (for example, the degree to radian)
  • Pressure (for example, pascal to the bar)
  • Speed (for example, miles per hour to kilometers per hour)
  • Temperature (for example, Fahrenheit to Celsius)
  • Time (for example, second to a minute)
  • Volume (for example, tablespoon to the fluid ounce)

4. See current Time anywhere in the World

Suppose you have a girlfriend or friend who is in another country and you don’t want to disturb their sleep. Then you can search on google for the time in [city] to see what time it is in another city right now. It’s pretty easy to search, just type time in the [city].

5. Use Google search to do math

Google search can actually do the math for you. This is a rather complex one to describe because it can be used in so many ways. You can ask it basic questions or some more difficult ones.

This doesn’t mean that it can solve all kinds of problems but can solve basic mathematics questions such as.

8 * 5 + 5
Planck’s Constant

If you search for the first one, it’ll return 45. It will also show a calculator that you can use to find answers to more questions.

This is handy if you need to do some quick math but don’t want to do it in your head. If you search the second term, it will return the number value of Planck’s Constant.



6. Play Games

If you are bored and don’t know what to do then you can play minimal games on google such as Pac man, tic tac toe, etc. Just search the “Pac man” and you will get a play now button. Below these more suggested games also you can try and new games are kept on adding on regular basis.
