Exploring the Solar System (Hardcover)

by John Farndon

Heinemann
In Exploring the Solar System, we learn how the Moon affects tides, how solar and lunar eclipses are not what they appear to be, and how the Sun controls time. We find out how astronomers explain the location, movement, and characteristics of Earth, and about other planets, moons, stars, and comets. We also look at amazing satellite images of gas giants, how Earth days are different from space days, weather conditions in the solar system, and space missions to Mercury and Mars.

Reviews

Library Media Connection - Ann Bryan Nelson

Appealing cover illustrations and formats encourage students to learn more about these new science fields. Relevant education is furthered by this series’ goal to illustrate science education’s use in everyday life. Useful for assigned nonfiction reading, these books offer vocabulary and background information for student writers. A list of topics to research adds to their value. The glossary would be improved with pronunciation help. Bibliography. Websites. Index.
