It has a tiny ball at its tip with ink behind it. The ball rolls easily, helped by the slippery ink, to leave ink trails on the paper. It's like a lubricated ball bearing.

On average, a ballpoint pen can write for about 2 to 3 kilometers of continuous line before it runs out of ink. This distance can vary depending on the brand and quality of the pen.

The ballpoint pen replaced the fountain pen as a more convenient and less messy writing instrument. It offered a quicker drying time and the ability to write on multiple surfaces without smudging.

Typical users of the ballpoint pen tend to be male or female. The male or female ballpoint users tend to use "hands", usually the right. Although there are widely publicised cases of left handed ballpoint users. Or 'lefties'. The average ballpoint pen user will also be "cheap" due to their lack of funds that has obstructed them from obtaining a more classy means of communication, such as the fountain pen. Animals are not great fans of the ballpoint pen due to their lack of ability to write. I hope this helps
