In China,people also used kites during wartime.One Chinese story tells how soldiers put noise makers on kites and flew them at night over the enemy camp.The enemies were frightened by the noise and ran away.
About 1,300 years ago,Chinese travelers took kites to Japan.So kites filled the skies there,Kites reached Thailand about 700 years ago.During floods,Thai farmers flew kites over their fields.They hoped the kites would drive away the clouds and stop the rain.Over time,kites flew their way out of Asia.Today,kites are a passion all over the world.Kite fans meet at festivals in many parts of the world and have great fun.
Over the years,kites have also helped people understand the natural world.In 1749,for example,thermometers were tied to kites to measure temperatures.In 1906,cameras hanging from kites took pictures of San Francisco,California after an earthquake.The photos helped people plan what to do.
Kites also helped inventors find out how to make airplanes.The Wright brothers studied how kites flew,which helped them make the first successful airplane.

Kites also helped inventors find out how to make airplanes.The Wright brothers studied how kites flew,which helped them make the first successful airplane.
