How hot is the sun? What is it made of? How long would it take to get there? This fun and fact-filled book answers these questions and many more. Following the lead of two kids and a purple cat, children learn about sunspots and solar flares, see how the sun creates night and day and seasons, and learn how the sun warms the planet Earth. The engaging gouache artwork shows the Earth's place in the solar system, scientists studying the sun through special telescopes, and the bounty of life on Earth nurtured by the heat-giving rays of our own shining star. A simple hands-on experiment demonstrating how the Earth orbits the sun completes this gentle introduction to astronomy.
