Question
Why do we feel giddiness after a ride on the merry-go-round?

Answer

When the body is in circular motion on a merry-go-round the circular canals of the internal ear are also on circular motion. Once the merry-go-round stops, it takes time for fine silica particles in circular canal to come in rest. As they are responsible for maintaining the balance of the body so a sense of giddiness prevails till the time silica particles come into proper position.
