Question

Did you know? You are up to 1 cm shorter in the evening than in the morning. During the day intervertebral discs are compressed by gravity; at night, while you lie down, they recover their height. Astronauts in weightlessness can be 5-7 cm taller after a long mission.

Je bent 's avonds tot 1 cm korter dan 's ochtends. Tijdens de dag worden de tussenwervelschijven samengedrukt door de zwaartekracht; 's nachts, terwijl je ligt, herstellen ze hun hoogte. Astronauten in zwaartelos zijn na een lange missie 5-7 cm langer.
