why is an orange called an orange? Is there any other fruit that has a name that tell you what it is and also what colour it is?

If the blackbox is the only thing that survives an airplane crash. Why don't they build the entire aircraft from the same material?

Sorry have to answer this. it wouldn't fly for one. Plus the black box (which is orange. see above post

) doesn't always survive.

Because they used to be black and the name stuck.
