Why do people get wrinkles? With Ross Barr. How does sunscreen work? How are stars made?

Saison 7 · Épisode 9

vendredi 15 décembre 2023 • Durée 13:26

We're back for the ninth episode of Season 7! Everything Under The Sun has been nominated for Best British Podcast in the kids category, has a paperback book of Everything Under The Sun OUT NOW and has moved to Bali, Indonesia!

We're going to be having lots of fun answering kids' questions from all over the world.

This week the questions are:

Why do people get lines on their face when they get old? Answering this one we have Ross Barr. He's a specialist in women's health, and an acupuncturist. That means he sticks tiny little needles into people's bodies to cure them of all sorts of things! It sounds painful, but it really isn't—in fact most people find it very relaxing! And he certainly knows a thing or two about wrinkles...

How does sunscreen work? It's super important that you wear it in the sun, and I'm sure everyone listening has—but how does it actually work?

And finally: How are stars formed? We zoom off into outer space to find out how those mysterious balls of light are made in the first place.
