As we are getting advanced several facts are being busted as myths. With the changing type, various theories and assumptions have been proven wrong. We are back with some more facts which are myths actually.
Here are few misconceptions we generally have,
Chameleons
It is commonly assumed that chameleons change color to fit in with their surroundings. However, they actually change color depending on their mood, temperature and their exposure to light.
Mount Everest
Mount Everest is often named as the tallest mountain on earth. But while the summit of Mount Everest is higher above sea level than the summit of any other mountain, but Mauna Kea is the tallest when measured from base to summit.
Heat loss
It’s often said that you lose your body heat fastest through your head. This is a myth, experts say humans would be just as cold if they went without a hat as if they went without trousers.
Earth
We were all taught the Earth revolves around the Sun. Technically, what is going on is that the Earth, Sun and all the planets are orbiting around the center of mass of the solar system.
Taste Buds
Different parts of your tongue detects different tastes, right? Wrong. This was scientifically disproved by later research; all taste sensations come from all regions of the tongue, although different parts are more sensitive to certain tastes.
