Did you know:

More than one million Earth's could fit inside the Sun. If you were to fill a hollow Sun with spherical Earths, somewhere around 960,000 would fit inside. However, if you squashed those Earths to ensure there was no wasted space then you could fit 1,300,000 Earths inside the Sun. The surface area of the Sun is 11,990 times that of Earth.

Riddle of the day:

Bob's coach has five players: four are named Jojo, Koko, Lolo and Momo. What is the fifth player's name?

Answer will be revealed tomorrow.

Previous Riddle Answer:

There was a murder on one Sunday morning.

There are three suspects.

The first suspect said: "It couldn't have been me because I was out shopping.

"The second suspect said: "It couldn't have been me because I was out getting the post.

"The third suspect said: " It couldn't have been me because I was working in the garden."

Who dunnit?

The postie doesn't deliver on a Sunday, so suspect two's alibi does not stack up, therefore - guilty.
