Because the definition of twin primes is: two prime numbers with a difference of

2.

3 and 5 are both prime numbers, and their difference is 5 - 3 = 2 → they are twin primes.

What are the next twin prime numbers after 2 and 3?

Well, to begin with, 2 and 3 are not twin primes. The first twin primes are 3 and 5, but then 5 and 7 are also twin primes. After that, it's 11 and 13, then 17 and 19, 29 and 31, and 41 and 43. Twin primes are distinguished by having a difference of 2 between them.


What are the twin primes from 1-50?

Twin primes are pairs of prime numbers that have a difference of two. The twin primes between 1 and 50 are: (3, 5), (5, 7), (11, 13), (17, 19), (29, 31), and (41, 43). These pairs are the only twin primes found within that range.

Is the sum of prime numbers cannot be a prime?

Not true. 2 + 3 = 5, where all three are primes. One of the primes in the sum must be 2, otherwise both primes would be odd and their sum would be even (and >2) and therefore not prime. Such primes: p and p+2 [3 and 5 in the above example] are known as twin primes and there are infiitely many twin primes.
