Hello, welcome. I say it's time to ditch whatever you are doing down here on planet Earth.

Shall we scoot all around the solar system? Shall we find some of those strange science secrets?

Welcome to the Fun Kids Science Weekly. strange science weekly.

weekly. My name's Dan, this is the podcast that learns everything possible in the universe that discovers all those

In simple terms, wind is just the movement of air.

And that is caused by pressure differences,

which is caused by temperature differences,

and the main culprit behind it all is the sun.

And our battle of the science looks at how creatures have become who they are.

So I am an evolutionary biologist, which means I try to get a better understanding of the rules of evolution

which have resulted in this amazing diversity of animals plants and microbes that we can

see all around us today.

Your dangerous down this week is a tiny terror.

It's amazing with one of the best nicknames in the wild.

You'll hear all about that in a brand new Fun Kids Science Weekly.

Let's start with your science in the news. The sun is heading towards its busiest time. It's reaching its solar maximum, which is the time

when it makes more radiation and more particles from solar flares are flung across the

universe. This happens in an 11- year cycle and we're right at the

hotspot. They can supercharge the Earth's magnetic field which is what causes

the Aurora Borealis, the Northern Light, if you're in the Northern Hemisphere, those stunning colours that sweep
