Why can sand and salt be separated using filter paper and funnel?

Sand and salt can be separated using filter paper and a funnel because salt dissolves in water, while sand does not. When the mixture is added to water and stirred, the salt will dissolve, leaving the sand behind. By pouring the mixture through filter paper in a funnel, the sand is trapped on the paper while the salt solution passes through, allowing for the separation of the two components.
