#ExplainTheSun

Studio 360
We want you to explain to us what the Sun does.
Here’s how:
  1. Learn something interesting about what the sun does.
  2. Do your best to explain what you’ve learned about the sun.
  3. Share your explanation with the hashtag #ExplainTheSun

Here's a little inspiration…

  • We asked scientists and other solar-interested folks to answer the question: What does the sun do? See their responses here.
  • Make your own UV light detector in this activity from the Lawrence Hall of Science.
  • Watch videos, read articles, and listen to interviews about the sun in Science Friday's Sun Science Collection on PBS Learning Media.
  • Listen to our launch on Science Friday, May 8th
  • Help us create a human sundial

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
