ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Mood ring

Imagine wearing a ring that changes colors based on how you feel! That is a mood ring. It is a special ring that has a little crystal on top and is filled with liquid that reacts to your body temperature.

When your body temperature changes, the liquid inside the ring changes color too. Different colors represent different moods. For example, if you feel happy, the ring will turn green. If you feel nervous, the ring will turn blue. If you feel passionate or excited, the ring will turn red.

This is because when you feel different emotions, your body temperature changes in response to those emotions. Mood rings are a fun way of expressing your emotions, and they can be used to start conversations about feelings and how we express them.

So next time you see a mood ring, remember that it’s a special ring that tells you how you feel, and can help you understand and express your emotions.
