लेकिन क्या आपने कभी सोचा है कि इसे 'मिट्टी का तेल' क्यों कहा जाता है?

यह नाम सुनने में भले ही साधारण लगे, लेकिन इसके पीछे एक दिलचस्प कारण छिपा हुआ है.

दरअसल, केरोसिन एक पेट्रोलियम उत्पाद है, जो जमीन के अंदर से निकलने वाले कच्चे तेल (क्रूड ऑयल) से बनाया जाता है.

यह कच्चा तेल धरती की सतह के नीचे, चट्टानों और मिट्टी के बीच हजारों-लाखों सालों में बनता है.

इसे जमीन के अंदर से ड्रिलिंग या खनन के जरिए निकाला जाता है.

यह सीधे 'मिट्टी' यानी जमीन के नीचे से आता है, इसलिए आम भाषा में इसे 'मिट्टी का तेल' कहा जाने लगा.

पुराने समय में जब बिजली हर जगह उपलब्ध नहीं थी, तब केरोसिन का इस्तेमाल लालटेन और दीयों में रोशनी के लिए किया जाता था.
