Let's talk about planes! You know, those amazing machines that take us on holiday or help us travel long distances?

Now, I know what you're thinking... "How many wheels does a plane have?" Well, most people might say "Four!" But actually, that's not entirely correct. Most commercial airplanes, like the big ones you see at airports, have a bit of a special trick up their sleeve!

They usually have four main wheels on each side of the plane, but they're quite wide apart. That means there are eight wheels in total... and that's the answer! So, to be precise, a typical commercial airplane has eight wheels.

But wait! Some planes, like little ones called helicopters or even tiny propeller planes, might have three or four wheels. And then there are some really big airplanes, called jumbo jets, which can have lots more wheels!

So, that's it! Eight wheels is the right answer for most of our big commercial airplanes. Who knew learning about planes could be so exciting?
