This is what i found! Camels do not store water in their humps, as it is commonly believed. The humps are actually reservoirs of fatty tissue. Concentrating body fat intheir humps minimizes heat-trapping insulation throughout the rest of their body, which may be an adaptation to living in hot climates.

If the camel uses up the fat in its hump, then it'll droop.]]> 2018-05-02 04:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/srichardson15/n8az8qz8umwl/wish/257111075 False https://padlet.com/srichardson15/n8az8qz8umwl/wish/257121304 People do think this is true but actually that is wrong because camels actually store fat in their hump/s. Their water is in their respiratory system.

After 65 years of waiting, Apollo astronauts were able to confirm the authenticity of this claim. Their answer: no

I found this aswell!  It has become a space-based myth. The Great Wall of China, frequently billed as the only man-made object visible from space, generally isn't, at least to the unaided eye in low Earth orbit. It certainly isn't visible from the Moon. 

You can, though, see a lot of other results of human activity.

 

See it?

When I did some research it said that there are lots of man made structures that are visible from space using binoculars or a camera, such as, dams, cities, and highways. But the Great Wall of China id the most popular one to be seen from the moon.

The raindrop becomes more  like the top half of a hamburger bun. On the bottom and with a curved dome top,raindrops are anything but the  tear shape. The reason is because they fall so fast through the atmosphere.In the movies that you watch, it is written or shown that raindrops look like tears which are cylindrical and funnel shaped but this is false.Scientists have said that this myth is false.

Here’s what I fOund
is there a print friendly thing here? I don’t know why it’s there!

Are raindrops tear-shaped?

No. While some cartoons and some science diagrams draw raindrops in that shape, raindrops are neither tear-shaped nor spherical. Due to the interaction of cohesion, surface tension, air resistance and gravity, large raindrops are shaped more like the top half of a hamburger bun.
Cohesion is the attraction of water molecules to other water molecules. Cohesion keeps water together, though it cannot hold large amounts of liquid water in a definite shape. Surface tension is the attraction of molecules near the surface towards the interior of the liquid. Surface tension produces the membrane-like, elastic nature of a water surface that allows insects to walk on water. Surface tension contracts the surface of a liquid into the smallest possible area.
A sphere has the smallest surface area for any volume, so small drops (and bubbles) tend toward the spherical, all other things being equal. But as the force of gravity causes drops to fall, air resistance flattens their bottoms, as you can see by tossing a large water balloon into the air. The combination of cohesion, surface tension, air resistance and gravity gives raindrops that top-of-a-hamburger-bun shape. And why do cartoonists draw rain tear shaped? Because that shape suggests to us that the drops are falling!
