Welcome to Episode 16 of Season 7 everyone! Everything Under The Sun has been nominated for Best British Podcast in the kids category, has moved to Bali, Indonesia, and the paperback book of Everything Under The Sun is OUT NOW!!

 

This week we have three fascinating questions about our weird and wonderful universe! So get your space helmets on... we're taking a trip through the Solar System!

 

How did the milky way form? Jim Al-Khalili answers this one. He is a theoretical physicist with his own radio show called The Life Scientific! 

 

Why is there no gravity on space? We find out all about the very important force of gravity, and how it works in space (spoiler alert: there IS gravity in space!).

 

Why is Earth called Earth? Ever wondered how our beautiful little planet got its name? We trace Earth's name all the way back to hundreds of years ago.
