Complex questions - simple answers

There are so many interesting and unusual things in the world! And adults often remember this only when they have children. It is they who bombard us with millions of “how?”, “why?” and why?". And answering many questions of little "why" is not so easy.

Next, we will try to answer the most popular questions that children have as simply and concisely as possible. By the way, similar requests are often driven into the Internet. And this means that not all adults are able to answer them. So let's get started!

Why is grass green?

The answer to the most popular question of every child is extremely simple. It's all about chlorophyll - a special substance that is found in stems and leaves. All plants obtain energy from sunlight and water through the process of photosynthesis. And it is chlorophyll that is responsible for the production of essential nutrients in plant cells.

Why is the sky blue?

Sunlight, as you know, consists of seven colors (just remember the rainbow). But on the way to the surface of our planet, he has to break through the thickness of the air and overcome many other obstacles. As a result, many colors become less saturated. Only one of them remains clearly visible - blue. Therefore, we see the sky above our head in this beautiful color.

Why is the sea s alty?

Be sure - this is the question you will absolutely have to answer when your baby first gets to know the sea. To begin with, it should be remembered that s alt is a mineral that is found in large quantities in the earth's crust. Numerous rivers erode rocks and annually carry tons of s alts into the oceans and seas. There they settle and finally dissolve in the water, making it s alty.

Why does a fly rub its paws?

An interesting question to which few people know the answer. Each of us must have observed how deftly the fly moves along smooth and vertical surfaces (for example, on window glass). She does this with tiny sticky bristles located on her paws. Since dust and dirt accumulate on these bristles very quickly, the fly has to clean them very often, intensively rubbing their paws against each other. At this time, it seems to us that the insect is plotting something bad.

Why does a cat have a mustache?

Many animals have mustaches. But since the child meets the cat most often, be prepared to hear this very question from him.

Mustache (or whiskers) are transformed sense organs, receptors that react to the slightest changes in the external environment. The cat needs them not for beauty at all. Whiskers help the animal navigate in space and collect information about various objects. For example, by touching a hole in the wall with its whiskers, the cat will immediately determine whether the width of this hole is sufficient to pass through it. In addition, vibrissae are indispensable for hunting. With their help, cats determine the direction and speed of the wind in order to make the most accurate jump.
