#13 | Gravity & Orbits (& Popcorn?!) With Marwan, Aged 6

Update: 2020-01-25

Description

Marwan, aged 6, asks the nerds some great questions about gravity and orbits. He even throws in a random question about popcorn!

Why does the Earth orbit the Sun? Why does it take a year? Why does the Sun bend spacetime? What is escape velocity? How do we predict orbits? What are eclipses?

This chat is orbital mechanics 101!

Oh yeah, Marwan also asked why popcorn is soft when the corn kernel is hard. A great random question to start things off!
