Seven misconceptions:

1. Coffee is made from beans

While it is widely believed that coffee comes from 'coffee beans', experts say i
t is actually made from a seed which is called a bean.
2. Chameleons change colour to match their surroundings
Believe it or not, chameleons actually change colour as a response to mood, temp
erature, communication and light instead of the object they are touching.
3. Mount Everest is the 'tallest' mountain in the world
While Mount Everest is officially deemed the tallest mountain in the world, expe
rts claim that technically it may not be. The summit of Everest is officially hi
gher above sea level than the summit of any other mountain, but Mauna Kea is the
tallest when measured from base to summit. However, the record books deem it th
e tallest because it has the highest peak on Earth.
4. The Great Wall of China can be seen from space
The Apollo astronauts confirmed that you can't see the Great Wall of China from
the Moon. In fact, all you can see from the Moon is the white and blue marble of
Earth.
5. One human year is equivalent to seven dog years
While true in some cases, it does not apply to everyone because it very much dep
ends on the size and breed of the dog.
6. You lose your body heat fastest through your head
While this is widely believed to be true, some experts say it is a myth and clai
m humans would be just as cold if they went without a hat as if they went withou
t trousers.
7. The Earth revolves around the Sun
Technically, the Earth, sun and all of the other the planets are orbiting around
the centre of mass of the solar system, not specifically the sun.
