Every hear of "Sol"? Sure you have! Its our Sun! It sits at the center of our 8-planet solar system, providing us with heat and light. But how does that energy get to us? In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina chats about the sun; what it is, how it works, and how the energy gets to us here on Earth.

This first series is based on 5th-grade science. Were super excited and hope you enjoy Crash Course Kids!
