Kate Humble presents ORBIT: EARTH'S EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY

Tune in to BBC2 at 9pm on Sunday 4th March to see the first episode in the new series, Orbit: Earth's Extraordinary Journey.

Kate Humble and Dr Helen Czerski examine the Earth's yearly trip around the sun to show what consequences it has for the planet, including its influence on the weather and the tides. The first episode covers the period from July to the winter solstice in December, with Helen leaping from an aeroplane and Kate briefly becoming the fastest driver in the world to demonstrate the consequences of the orbit on Earth's inhabitants.
