2: This Monday, Earth reaches its farthest distance from the Sun for the year, sitting exactly 152,087,851 km away.
3: Because of their dense root networks, daylilies are excellent for stabilizing steep slopes, controlling soil erosion, and choking out weeds.
4: Tadpoles do not simply lose their long tails as they transform into froglets; their bodies actually absorb and “eat” the tail for nutrients.
