Why science matters
|
| Summary/Abstract |
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.
