Motion sickness happens when your brain gets mixed messages. Imagine you're on a boat, but your eyes see stillness inside the cabin while your body feels the rocking of the waves. Your brain gets confused and makes you feel dizzy or sick.
Examples
- A child on a boat sees stillness but feels movement, making them feel sick.
- A student gets carsick during a long trip because their eyes see the inside of the car but their body feels the road's bumps.
- Riding a spinning carousel can make someone dizzy if they close their eyes.
