People say that the weather is boring small talk. However, since many kids believe things like rain is teardrop shaped, or heavier things sink and lighter things float, I've been reading quite a bit of physics and earth science stuff, and it's so cool and weird how we have clouds and rain and other weather phenomenona. How does lightning happen? Thunder? Natural disasters?
It's so weird that we exist on a land with these things, and I am dying to learn more. I wish I had studied this stuff earlier. But I guess it's not too late. Excitement ensues.
I love learning when it's for fun and not for grades.
Nature is amazing. Never too late to learn, itβs fun discovering new knowledge!
