Silkworms live for only two or three days after laying eggs. About 36,000 to 50,000 eggs are laid, and there are carefully store at the silkworm farm until they are ready to hatch. The eggs hatch into caterpillars, which feed on mulberry leaves. Soon, the caterpillars are ready to spin their cocoons. Not all caterpillars can spin silk cocoons. Only the caterpillars of a silkworm moth known as ‘Bombyx mari’ can do such spinning. This caterpillar has special glands which secrete liquid silk through its lower lip. The liquid produced later hardens to form tine strands. The caterpillar makes its cocoons using these strands. The threads on the outside of the cocoon are rough, while those inside are soft and smooth. Some fully-spun cocoons are heated. This kills the pupa inside. The cocoons are then put into hot water to loosen the fine threads. Finally, these threads are reeled off the cocoons.
The length of unbroken thread produced by a single cocoon measures about one-and-a-half kilometers. Being twisted together several of these threads make single woven materials.

Rain is the primary source of fresh water for most areas of the world, providing suitable conditions for diverse ecosystem, as well as water for hydroelectric power plants and crop immigration.
The phenomenon of the rain is actually a water circle. The concept of the water cycle involves the sun heating the Earth’s surface water and causing the surface water to evaporate. The water vapor rises into the Earth’s atmosphere.
The water in the atmosphere cools and condenses into liquid droplets. The droplets grow until they are heavy and fall to the Earth as precipitation which can be in the form of rain or snow.
However, not all rain reaches the surface. Some evaporates while failing through dry air. This is called virga, a phenomenon which is often seen in hot, dry desert regions.
Questions:
1. What is the primary source of fresh water?
Answer: Rain.
2. What is the terminology to describe the rain process?
Answer: Water cycle.
3. What is the first step of water cycle?
Answer: Evaporation.
4. What is Virga?
Answer: Rain that evaporates before it reach ground.
5. What is precipitation?
Answer: The failing of water from the sky.
