The Sun and the Solar System

A solar system is a complex system containing a star and a group of planets, moons, and other bodies that move around the star. In our solar system, that star is the sun. With the help of this innovative volume, readers will learn about many of the wonders of our solar system. Numerical figures are used throughout the book to help readers understand and learn important facts about the solar system, many of which also support and reinforce key elementary science curricula.
