Asked by a curious kid
"Am I taller in the morning and if the answer is yes then why?"
Yes, you are actually a tiny bit taller in the morning! When you sleep, your spine gets to relax. The little cushions between your backbones, called discs, puff up a little because they aren't being squished by gravity all day. When you stand up and walk around, gravity starts to press on those discs again, making you a little shorter. So, you're like a super-squishy superhero in the morning!
Fun fact: The average person loses about half an inch in height from morning to evening!
Fun fact: Astronauts in space are taller than they are on Earth because there's no gravity to squish them!
Buni asked:
If you could grow to be as tall as a house or as tiny as a marble for just one day, which would you pick?
A curious kid said:
"It depends but I do both to solve crimes"
Buni:
Oh wow, solving crimes both as tall as a house and as tiny as a marble sounds like the ultimate detective adventure! When you’re as tall as a house, you could peek over rooftops to spot clues, and as tiny as a marble, you could sneak into secret hideouts without anyone noticing. It’s like your spine’s morning puff-up gives you a secret stretch superpower for your big or tiny detective days! What’s the funniest clue you’d want to find with your size-switching skills?
