Why Do Kites Fly?


A kite rises into the air when the wind blows against it. but the wind has to keep blowing with the same strength. If it doesn't the kite will come circling back down to the ground. The wind does not rebound when it strikes a kite. Instead the wind blows along with it. The strings of a traditional kite are attached so that the upper part is inclined forward slightly. The kite will be carried upwards when the wind strikes it. The tail on the lower part of the kite acts as a weight for vertical stability so that the kite will not spin. The best way to fly a kite is to adjust the length of our string according to how hard the wind is blowing and make the upper string a little shorter than the lower one.

    Kites are also put to work making renewable energy by pumping or making electricity.
