  Taking a closer look at the planetary system in which we live, this book focuses on the Sun, the star around which our planet revolves, which gives us the light and heat we need to live and how, over centuries of study we have learned a great deal about it. The book explains how the sun produces its enormous energy, describes the storms that rage on its surface and the jets of hot gas that leap out into spoace. It also illustrates sun spots and the stages of a solar eclipse.
