Hey Smarty Pants, have I got a fun surprise today?
As a gift from me to you I want to play an episode of something we like to call Smarty Qs.
What are Smarty Qs, you ask?
ask why smartie cues are questions that you, the smartie pants, ask me, the trusty narrator, that I answer on a special mini episode.
It's a chance for me to answer all the cool, curious, and interesting questions you have that aren't quite big enough to make an entire episode of Who Smarted About, and not only do I answer your question, but I let everyone know who asked it!
So sit back and enjoy this episode of Smartie Cues!
And at the end, I'll let you know how you can get smarty queues and how you can send me your questions to answer.
Hey there who's smarted plus subscribers.
Welcome to another fun and fascinating edition of smarty queue, where I the trusty narrator answer questions from you, our brilliant smarty pants listeners.
Remember, if you have a question you'd like answered on a future episode of smarty queue, Just have an adult help you email it to me at WhoSmarted at WhoSmarted .com.
Now, let's dive into today's questions.
Our first question comes from Joela, who asks, why does the moon turn red during a lunar eclipse?
That is a great question, Joela.
When there's a lunar eclipse, the Earth moves directly between the Sun and the moon, blocking sunlight from reaching the Moon's surface.
But, instead of making the moon disappear completely, something amazing happens.
It turns red. Why? Well, even though the earth is in the way, some sunlight still manages to reach the moon.
But before it gets there, it has to pass through Earth's atmosphere.
Our atmosphere acts like a giant filter, scattering shorter wavelengths of light, like blue and green, and letting the longer wavelengths, like red and orange, pass through.
This reddish light bends around the Earth and lands on the moon making it glow a spooky red color.
That's why a lunar eclipse is sometimes called a blood moon.
Okay. Let's move on to our next question from Henry, age seven from Minnesota, who wants to know can worms get concussions?
Well I don't know what made you think of That question, Henry, but I love it.
Okay, the first thing you need to know is a concussion happens when your brain gets shaken inside your skull, usually from a hard hit.
But here's the thing, worms don't have skulls or even real brains.
Instead, they have something called a nerve ganglion, which is like a simple brain located near their head.
Because worms are soft and flexible, they don't get concussions, the way humans or animals with skulls do.
If you drop a worm, it won't bonk its head because, well, it doesn't really have one, at least not like we do.
But worms can still get hurt.
If they experience too much pressure or damage to their nervous system, they might stop moving properly or even die.
So while a worm can't get a concussion, like you or me, it still needs to be treated gently, just like anyone.
Okay, my third and final smart EQ question is from Ivan who asks, what is water pressure?
Very interesting Ivan.
So have you ever noticed if you swim to the bottom of a swimming pool, your ears start to feel funny?
That's water pressure in action.
Water pressure is the force of water pushing on something, and the deeper you go, the stronger it gets.
Why you ask? because water is heavy, and the deeper you are, the more water is stacked on top of you, pressing down.
That's why scuba divers need special gear to handle the pressure in deep water.
Water pressure also helps water move through pipes and even makes ocean trenches some of the most extreme places on Earth.
At the very bottom of the ocean, the pressure is so strong, it could crush a submarine.
And there you have it.
Another fun, and in fact filled episode of Smart EQ.
If you have a question you'd like me to answer on a future episode of Smart EQ just email me at whosmarted at whosmarted .com Until next time, keep on smarting, smarty pants.
