How do we know when a hurricane happens?

David

Weather experts define hurricanes as a system of storms with winds circling at the center at speeds of 74 miles (119 km) per hour or more. They have special tools to measure wind speeds. Experts can also use tools in space to track how conditions like air pressure are affecting the creation of storms.

Hi, Russ! Can you please make an article about golf? For example, like how Rory McIlroy has completed the career grand slam and is looking to repeat. My favorite golfer is Rory McIlroy. I am from Ireland and my name is named after Rory McIlroy. Who's your favorite golfer?

Finnir

Hey there! Did you hear about Rory McIlroy's big win at the Masters this year? You can check out the article "Back-to-Back Masters Champ!" I'm not sure who my favorite golfer is. But it's been fun to watch some of the top players, including Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, and Collin Morikawa! 🏌️

I see little brown birds in my yard and I'm wondering if it's a little curlew.

Harper

It's possible, Harper. Curlews have a long, thin curved bill. They also have a long neck and a small round head. Try taking a picture or writing a description of the birds the next time you see them. Write about their bodies, color, and actions. Then you can compare that bird to what you know about a curlew.

Why is there such thing as tax day?
