Do all bears hibernate in the winter?

It is a common misconception that bears hibernate during the winter. While bears tend to slow down during the winter, they are not true hibernators. Black bears, Grizzly bears and Brown bears do go into a deep sleep during the winter months, known as torpor. Hibernation is when animals β€œsleep” through the winter.

What is a black hole?

A black hole is an area in space where matter (what everything is made of) has collapsed in on itself.

A black hole has a strong gravitational pull that sucks in everything nearby – even light. Nothing can escape it.

Many galaxies have black holes in them. A black hole is large enough to pull objects near it, but not those far away.

Even supermassive black holes will not continue to grow forever. Just as the black hole was born, it will one day die. A black hole will slowly evaporate, releasing the energy it took back into space.

1- Gravity
2- Galaxies

Why do birds fly south for the winter?

Many birds fly south in the winter. Birds that eat nectar or insects will not be able to find food in areas that have cold winters.

To find the food they need, birds will migrate.

Migrating means leaving to find warmer areas.

Birds that migrate usually leave at about the same time each year and fly back home at around the same time each spring!

Can you have a fire without oxygen?

A fire cannot burn without oxygen. You can show this for yourself, in fact: if you light a small candle and then put a clear glass upside-down over that candle (without touching the flame), you can watch the flame slowly extinguish as it uses up all of the oxygen that you have trapped around it with the glass.
