Because the spinal cord has these soft materials in between the bones, and when you lie down and sleep, the materials stretch out. When you wake up and stand back up, after a little while, the materials will basically get flattened by the spinal cord, making you a tiny bit shorter.
Gravity compacts the vertical position of the body and expands the horizontal planes of same.
Were taller during morning but I don't know why.... ...by Francis...
That is true. You are taller in the morning than you are at night due to gravity compressing your spine when you are standing or sitting.
Interesting question! You are probably taller in the morning, since your joints have not been subject to gravity all night. Once you are up and walking around, gravity starts to bring your joints together.
Adults are approximately 1cm (2/5 inch) taller in the morning than the evening as by the evening the intervertebral discs have been compressed slightly.
Reduced gravity allows the disks in the spine to expand. It is the same reason that you are taller when you first get out of bed in the morning.
A person's is taller in the morning than he is at night. This is because the force of gravity pulls him towards the center of the Earth during the day making him smaller. The spine stretches back to its normal length as one sleeps at night.
You will be taller in the morning. During the day, and being upright, gravity will cause the body to shrike.
yes, this will be cool, trust me, i did it!
B. Ariel is taller than her mother.
There is some talk that you might since the discs between the vertebra will not be as compressed and the fluid in your knee joints will be more when you get up. But it will not stay that way and you will be the same height when you go to bed the next night and will be about 1cm taller in at morning agin. All of this occurs when you are fully grown.
