Bananas are curved because of the sun

Yes, you heard it right. This happens due to the process called negative geotropism. negative geotropism is nothing but as its name suggests negative means opposite and geotropism means the gravity that simply means opposite to gravity. The process in which the plant parts grow opposite to the gravity is known as negative geotropism. Banana’s pulls themselves to the rays of sunlight that is coming from the big leaves of banana and at the same time gravity attracts banana down. In this process, not even the banana grows straight nor gravity completely attracts the banana towards itself, but in this process banana gets its smily curved shape.

pealed oranges sink while unpealed floats

These are because the upper covering of the oranges contains air bubbles, that make them float on water and don’t allow them to sink. White pealed oranges don’t have air bubble’s inside so they sink.

wind do not have sound

Yes, the wind do not have any sound. The wind is nothing but a mixture of gases that flow due to change in atmospheric pressure .wind’s on their own don’t have any sound but when they flow and came in contact with any other object there is friction, due to this friction we hear the sound and not the wind sound.
