Explanation

The Japanese verb '載る (のる)' has two distinct meanings. The first meaning is 'to appear', often used in the context of being published or featured in media, such as newspapers, magazines, or websites. For example: my article appeared in the newspaper「私の記事が新聞に載った」(わたしのきじがしんぶんにのった). The second meaning is 'to ride', but this is less common and typically refers to objects being placed or loaded onto something, such as a vehicle or platform. For example: the luggage is riding on the truck「荷物がトラックに載っている」(にもつがトラックにのっている). Note that this verb is distinct from '乗る (のる)', which specifically means 'to ride' in the context of a person boarding a vehicle or animal.
