Solar panels use light—not heat—to make electricity. When panels become very hot, they usually work less efficiently. A bright, cooler day can suit them better than an equally sunny hotter day. ☀️ #SolarEnergy #ScienceFacts #CleanTech

Your TV remote emits light that your eyes cannot see—but your phone camera might. 📱

Point the remote at the camera and press power. A flashing spot means the camera is detecting its infrared signal. Some phones filter IR.

A banana is botanically a berry—but a strawberry isn’t. Bananas develop as simple fleshy fruits from one flower’s ovary. A strawberry’s red flesh is enlarged flower tissue, while its outside “seeds” are individual fruits. 🍌🍓 #ScienceFacts #Botany
