It's not the weight of gasoline as much as the molecular structure. Gasoline molecules tend to stick to your skin so the smell is difficult to get rid of. (Remember that gasoline is made from oil and oil is very sticky.) I don't know if the gasoline literally soaks into your skin, but you certainly don't want to be soaking your skin in gasoline as it probably is toxic to your health. Gasoline is never something to mess around with especially if there is any chance of a possibility of a spark or flame around. Gasoline is extremely flammable and so are the vapors that emit from gasoline. Breathing in gasoline fumes will cause brain damage so imagine soaking your skin in it, can't be good at all.

If your eyelids are pink why do we see black when you close your eyes?

If it is dark, no light can penitrate through the skin. If it is light, the light penitrates though the skin and you see pink. Same idea as if you take a piece of paper; if you put a dim light to it, you cant see any light on the other side. But if you take a bright light and shine it on the paper, you can. If this is good enough, PLEASE GIVE ME A TRUST POINT!!!!!


Why do frogs only get oxygen through their skin?

The frog gets oxygen through its lungs just as we do. It can also absorb it through the skin and the mouth lining. Overall the surface area of the skin wouldn't be enough to absorb enough oxygen to supply all the cells of the body. However, absorption through the skin is very useful when the frog is under water.


Why does your hand glow red when you put a flashlight against it?

Human skin is opaque - in that it lets a small amount of light pass through (like looking at a light through a sheet of white paper). The red colour comes from the minute blood vessels illuminated by the light passing through the skin.
