Presents a collection of essays that discuss the role of the sun in the solar system, and covers such topics as solar winds and storms, magnetism, sunspots, ultraviolet radiation, and solar energy.

In Sun: Energy for Our Solar System, students will learn about our solar system's center star––the sun, and its effects on Earth's weather and climate while making observations about seasons and more. Filled with fun facts, young learners will love exploring the scientific information and drawing conclusions about life now and in the future. The Inside Outer Space series takes readers on an intergalactic journey that unravels the mysteries of the universe. Each 24-page book informs readers in grades K–3 on the Sun, Earth, planets, and stars, while also igniting imaginations about the unknown. Stunning photographs and diagrams engage readers, while text-based questions aid in reading comprehension

Contains 250 questions and answers about astronomy, particular for the amateur astronomer.

" ... Concise explanations and descriptions - easily read and readily understood - of what we know of the chain of events and processes that connect the Sun to the Earth, with special emphasis on space weather and Sun-Climate."--Dear Reader.

A hilarious nonfiction picture book from the New York Times bestselling author and creator of Awkward Yeti. Oh hey, guess what? The Sun never stops working to keep things on Earth running smoothly. (That's why it's been Employee of the Month for 4.5 billion years.) So why does the Sun get to be the center of attention? Because it's our solar system's very own star! This funny and factual picture book from Awkward Yeti creator Nick Seluk explains every part of the Sun's big job: keeping our solar system together, giving Earth day and night, keeping us warm, and more. In fact, the Sun does so much for us that we wouldn't be alive without it. That's kind of a big deal. Each spread features bite-sized text and comic-style art with sidebars sprinkled throughout. Anthropomorphized planets (and Pluto) chime in with commentary as readers learn about the Sun. For instance, Mars found someone's rover. Earth wants the Sun to do more stuff for it. And Jupiter just wants the Sun's autograph. Funny, smart, and accessible, The Sun Is Kind of a Big Deal is a must-have!

Find out about the sun's properties and characteristics.

Discover the solar system from the comfort of the classroom! Students will learn elementary concepts about the eight planets and Pluto, their orbits, and more! Use the background material to start the discussion, and use the activities, worksheets, questions, and answers to encourage further exploration.

Learn to appreciate the sun as a renewable source of heat and light energy. This book discusses the role of the sun, and the different forms of solar energy too. By learning scientific facts, you can become an advocacy for truth. You will also become empowered in actively campaigning for the use of renewable energy sources. Secure a copy today.

Covers information on the four inner planets, the five outer planets, comets, asteroids, and other flying things.

In 2010, NASA and the National Science Foundation asked the National Research Council to assemble a committee of experts to develop an integrated national strategy that would guide agency investments in solar and space physics for the years 2013-2022. That strategy, the result of nearly 2 years of effort by the survey committee, which worked with more than 100 scientists and engineers on eight supporting study panels, is presented in the 2013 publication, Solar and Space Physics: A Science for a Technological Society. This booklet, designed to be accessible to a broader audience of policymakers and the interested public, summarizes the content of that report.
