We are talking about sth. that is always or generally true, i.e. facts, so we use the simple present here.
e.g. The teacher said there are 1,440 minutes in a day.
Attention!
“Did you know” is more polite than
“Do you know” here.
This sentence means:
1. It’s OK if you didn’t know, because I can share the information with you.
(Then the person who is asked the question will not feel uncomfortable if he/she did not know. )
2. You might already know, but it doesn’t matter because I can still share the information with you and we can talk about it more.
Pay attention to these
comparative structures.
