[Answer] Despite its nickname, Howard Hughes' "Spruce Goose" was built mainly out of what wood?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Despite its nickname, Howard Hughes' "Spruce Goose" was built mainly out of what wood?"



...The "Spruce Goose," Howard Hughes's famous cargo plane, was actually built primarily out of birch wood, not spruce, as the name suggests. Officially named the Hughes H-4 Hercules, the massive aircraft was designed as a solution for transporting troops and materials during World War II, when metal resources like aluminum were in short supply due to war demands. Hughes and his team sought to use wood as an alternative, and while spruce was initially considered, birch was ultimately selected due to its strength and availability during World War II.

[Answer] Which of these animals can change sex from male to female?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which of these animals can change sex from male to female?"



...Certain animals can change sex from male to female, with one of the most well-known examples being clownfish. Clownfish are born male, but they have the ability to change to female if the dominant female in their group dies. This process, known as sequential hermaphroditism, allows the largest male in the group to transform into a female to maintain the social structure and ensure continued breeding within the group. Other species, such as some wrasses, parrotfish, and certain types of gobies, also exhibit similar sex-changing abilities.

[Answer] What is the brightest planet in our night sky?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What is the brightest planet in our night sky?"



...Venus is the brightest planet in our night sky, outshining every other star and planet visible from Earth. Its brilliance is unmatched, regardless of whether it is at its closest or farthest point in its orbit around the Earth. Known as the "Evening Star" or "Morning Star" depending on its position relative to the Sun, Venus owes its dazzling glow to its thick, reflective atmosphere. Composed primarily of carbon dioxide and shrouded by clouds of sulfuric acid, this atmosphere reflects around 70% of the sunlight that hits it, making Venus the brightest planet in our night sky.
