😳 WHY❓❓❓
🤔 Why does the sun not run out of oxygen as it burns?❓
The sun does not run out of oxygen for the simple fact that it does not use oxygen to burn. The burning of the sun is not chemical combustion. It is nuclear fusion. Don’t think of the sun as a giant campfire. It is more like a giant hydrogen bomb

Meaning : The seed of good works, sown in the right place gives great results.
🤔 HOW IT WORKS ⁉
How a piano works
When you press a key on the piano it causes a small hammer inside the piano to hit a string or strings. Each key is connected to its own hammer or hammers which hit a specific string or number of strings. When the hammer hits a string, it vibrates and makes a sound that is tuned to a specific note.
