Interesting Facts

Sunlight filtering through leaves is called 'god rays' or crepuscular rays, created by light scattering through gaps in the canopy.

Forests cover about 31% of the global land area, playing a crucial role in carbon sequestration and biodiversity.

Sunlight exposure in forests can vary dramatically, with some areas receiving only 1-2% of full sunlight due to dense canopies.
