Which is hotter: the centre of the Earth or surface of the Sun?
Nick McDonald The temperature at Earth’s core and at the surface of the Sun are very similar. We can estimate the Sun’s surface temperature by studying the colour of the surface, together with the continuous spectrum emitted by the Sun. When a piece of metal is heated it starts glowing red, then changes progressively to bluish-white as it gets hotter. Similarly, the colour of the Sun’s surface is an indicator of temperature. Using this information, we can get a reasonable estimate for the surface temperature of around 5,778 Kelvin, or 5,505 degrees Celsius. The core of the Earth is mainly composed of an alloy of the metals iron and nickel under very high pressure. Scientists can examine the properties of materials such as iron under pressure in the laboratory. Using such methods, we can calculate that the temperature at the core is about 5,700 Kelvin, or 5,430 degrees Celsius.

ATOMS VERSUS CARDS
Dear HIW, I was on holiday with a friend and got into a heated discussion. He claimed that there are more possible ways to shuffle a pack of cards than there are atoms in the Earth. Is this true? Can you explain to me how this is possible as I just can’t believe it
CAT REVENGE
Dear HIW, Did you know that cats take revenge on humans that upset them? I have experienced this behaviour on three different occasions. On one occasion I roughly pushed my neighbour’s cat off my porch chair. The next day I found that the cat had come back and left a poop on the chair. Then there was the time when I chased the same cat off my pathway. Again it left a poop on the path the next day. Another time a cat was taking an unhealthy interest watching a budgie in a cage. When I moved the cage out of the cat’s reach, it reacted by jumping up angrily onto me as if to say this was my bird, and you had no right to interfere!
DRAIN HACKS
Dear HIW, I have a shower drain that keeps overflowing. Drain unblockers refuse to work. Do you know a science hack?
DELIVERY DILEMMA
Dear HIW, Does next-day delivery make general delivery times slower? Do they push back the loading of items into lorries that haven’t paid for next-day to make room for the priority parcels?
HEALTHY DRINKING
Dear HIW, After reading about microplastics in How It Works, it got me wondering whether I should replace my water bottle. It is a plastic reusable sports bottle. Could I ingest small amounts of plastic by using it?
