Answer 4

A cotton candy machine turns sugar into cotton candy by first heating the sugar until it becomes a liquid. The spinning head on the cotton candy machine contains little holes. As the head spins, it forces the liquid sugar out through the holes. As the liquid cools, it creates threads of cotton candy.
