Water: A fascinating substance without which we cannot imagine life! 12 FACTS :)

Do you know that...👀

* **We are aquatic beings?** Our bodies consist of 60-70% water, and our brains even 75%! Without water, we couldn't digest, transport nutrients, or regulate body temperature - we would simply cease to exist!

* **There is more water on Earth than you think!** If we distributed it all evenly, it would create an ocean 3,700 meters deep! Unfortunately, only 2.5% is fresh water, the rest is salt water.

* **Water is a magical solvent!** It can dissolve more substances than any other liquid on Earth - that's why it mixes so easily with juices, tea and... soup!

* **Water can change states of matter!** When heated, it turns into steam and when cooled, it turns into ice. This is why we have clouds, rain, snow and glaciers - amazing phenomena that shape our planet!

* **Water is essential for life, not only for humans!** Plants, animals - all living beings need it to function properly. Without it, the world would be a desert ball!

Water is more than just a liquid. It is a **life-giving elixir**, a **powerful force of nature** and an **extraordinary substance**. Let's take care of it, save and appreciate its unique properties!
