Eli5: Grass should die because of paint at sports playing areas

461 views

How can it be that at sporting events the playing areas are drawn on grass and the grass doesn’t die off. Because of the color, the blades of grass can no longer photosynthesize and would have to die, right?

If you mean lines and markers on playing fields, they aren’t painted like lines on asphalt road…

They are usually made with powder… And that powder doesn’t cover full grass leaf, just part of it…
