Can you tell who am I ?

I am the largest in my family of fifty.
The youngest of our family lives separately from the rest of the family and so do I.
I am regarded as harsh and tough.
I am so large, you cut me in two equal halves,
each half would still be larger than the second largest member of the family.
Who am I?

Take one out and scratch my head, I am now black but once was red. What am I?

I come in different shapes and sizes.
Parts of me are curved, other parts are straight.
You can put me anywhere you like,
but there is only one right place for me.
What am I?

When it is alive we sing, when it is dead we clap our hands. What is it?

I make a loud sound when I’m changing. When I do change, I get bigger but weigh less. What am I?

You measure my life in hours
I serve you by expiring
I vanish faster when I am thin
and slower when I am thick
The wind is my energy
What am I?

Until it is measured, not known. Yet how you miss it when it has gone. What is it?

I welcome the day with a show of light, I stealthily came here in the night. I bathe the earthy stuff at dawn, But by noon, alas! I'm gone.

Two in a corner, one in a room, zero in a house, but one in a shelter. What am I?
