Good Questions: Box Office Records, Snow Vs. Rain, NYE Ball Storage
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Through the end of 2015, "Star Force: The Force Awakens" has sold 70 million tickets in the United States. So Katie wants to know: What movie has sold the most tickets of all time?
According to Box Office Mojo's list of ticket sales, "Gone With The Wind" takes the number-one spot in the United States with 202 million tickets sold.
Second is "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope" with 178 million tickets sold in the U.S., followed by "The Sound of Music" (142 million) and "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" (141 million).
Cody from Burnsville asks: How many inches of snow equal an inch of rain?
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says, on average, 13 inches of snow equal one inch of rain. But that can vary widely depending on the type of snow. It can range from two inches for very wet sleet to almost 50 inches for very dry, powdery snow.
And now that the party is over, Marlon from Grand Rapids wants to know: Where is the New Year's Eve ball stored after it drops?
In 2008, the owners of the building at One Times Square decided to build a permanent New Year's ball. That ball sits on the roof of the building throughout the year.
