curiosity

Curiosity is an interest in learning and knowing things, often with a desire to figure out how or why something works. Curious people ask questions and seek answers.

When we say someone is curious, it usually means they want to learn about the world around them. For example, if you're watching a documentary about space exploration, your friend might be curious about what's on Mars right now. They'll probably keep asking "why" and "how" until they get an explanation. You can also use curious when describing something that catches someone's attention - like seeing a strange object in the woods that sparks their curiosity to find out more about it. Some people are naturally curious, always looking for new information and experiences.
