Are our lungs the same size?
No, your left lung is smaller than your right lung because the larger part of your heart bulges out to the left side of your chest leaving very little room for your left lung.
Can your lungs float?
Yes, if our lungs are filled with air they are able to float because air is lighter than water therefore a lung filled with air rises to the surface.
Do both lungs hold the same amount of air as one another?
No, the right lung is capable of holding more air than the left because it is larger in size when compared to the left lung.
Does the breathing rate differ in people?
Yes, the breathing rate does differ in people; the breathing rate is faster in women and children than men.
Approximately how big are our lungs?
If you roll out a lung, flat, it would be the same size of a tennis court.
