The nine planets that go around our sun are described in this lively book with simplicity and authority.
Their sizes, temperatures, and satellites are explained in terms that even the youngest scientist can understand. Simple experiments show how the planets revolve and rotate, where they are located in relation earth and in relation to each other.
Are there canals on Mars?
Are there mountains on Mercury?
What are the rings of Saturn made of?
These are some of the questions discussed and explored in this happy combination of words and pictures.
