Summary

Quick question: How long would it take for the light to go out on earth if the sun stopped working? 30 seconds? 2 seconds? 8 minutes? If you said 8 minutes - you're right! To be exact, it would take 8 minutes and 20 seconds before we knew that the sun stopped burning. But that's not happening anytime soon - you have plenty of time for your kid to learn a whole lot more about the closest star to earth, like 7 or 8 billion years! You'll learn that and WHOLE lot more about how the sun works on this episode of Who Smarted?
