Kite flying is a popular outdoor activity where a lightweight object, known as a kite, is flown in the air at the end of a string. Kites come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, and are often made from materials like paper, plastic, or fabric. The activity is enjoyed by people of all ages and can be done in open spaces like parks or beaches, where there is enough wind to lift the kite. The basic principle of kite flying involves the balance of forces, including lift, drag, and tension. When the wind blows, it creates lift under the kite, allowing it to rise into the sky. Enthusiasts often participate in kite festivals, where they can showcase their kites and enjoy friendly competitions.
