What do we know about birds? And what do we not know about birds? We are bringing an answer to both of those questions today. 🐦 🐦

The first thing is why can’t the birds that fly higher than the highest mountains go to space? Before knowing the answer to that, we need to understand how birds get the ability to fly.

Bernoulli’s principle explains how birds get the ability to fly. When the bird moves its wings, there is a pressure difference between the air above the wings and the air below the wings. Therefore, there is a low pressure above the wings and a high pressure below the wings. Due to this pressure difference, a force is created from the area of ​​high pressure to the direction of low pressure. It is because of this force that the bird can stay in the sky without touching the ground. This is how an airplane is balanced in the sky. ✈

But space is a vacuum. It means emptiness. Therefore, birds do not get the ability to get the power they need to float. Therefore, birds can only travel within the limits of the atmosphere. 🌟 🌙 🌞
