1. Bananas Are Technically Berries, But Strawberries Aren’t!
Botanically speaking, a banana fits the definition of a berry — it grows from a single flower with one ovary and has seeds inside. But strawberries? Nope! Their seeds are on the outside, which disqualifies them as true berries.
Fruit science is full of surprises!
2. A Day on Venus Is Longer Than Its Year!
Venus takes about 243 Earth days to complete one rotation (a day), but only 225 Earth days to orbit the sun (a year). That means a day on Venus is longer than its year!
Time must feel strange there!
3. Dogs Can Smell Your Feelings!

4. Your Brain Has More Connections Than Stars in the Milky Way!
Your brain contains about 100 billion neurons, each forming up to 10,000 connections — adding up to more than 1 quadrillion connections. That’s more than the estimated stars in our galaxy!
You’re literally more complex than the Milky Way!
