Human beings have five sense organs, that enable them to perceive the information of their environment in the following manner:

Is the ability to see the features of various objects present in our environment such as colour, shapes, size etc. Vision begins with light rays bounding off the surface of objects.

Touch
A sense by which the body perceives contact with substances. in humans touch is perceived by the nerve endings in the skin. this sense in broader terms helps the humans to feel the basics/features of infinite objects present in our surroundings.
