When you look up what do you see? Blue skies, clouds and of course the Sun! Without the Sun, there would be no Earth - not an Earth that you and I could live on. Just a frozen globe with no life at all!
The Sun is really a star that gives off enormous amounts of energy. An area of the Sun's surface as tiny as the size of a postage stamp shines with the power of 1,500,000 candles! We feel the heat of the Sun on our faces even though the Sun is 93 million miles away from Earth. So far away that the heat from the Sun takes 8 minutes to reach us, travelling at the speed of light.
Compared to the Earth, the Sun is huge. It would take 1.3 million Earths to fill up the Sun.
This book answers all kinds of questions you may have about our amazing Sun.
Questions like... How was the Sun born? How old is the Sun? What is the Sun, and what is it made of? Is the Sun going to burn forever? What do we get from the Sun besides sunshine? How hot is it? What is a Sunspot and a Sun Dog? What is a Solar Eclipse? And many more...
This book uncovers some of the mystery about our own star in the sky, the Sun.
Let's go explore this giant at the center of our Solar System.
This book is filled with color images and interesting facts about the Sun. Ideal for smart young readers ages 5 to 8.
