Overview
Ex-library hardcover in Good (G) condition. Light library markings, otherwise looks new. Still crisp. See pictures.
In a series of fun and involving hands-on astronomy experiments, kids learn how distance from the sun affects atmospheric temperature, why the Earth is called the Blue Planet, why Jupiters ring shines, and how to reproduce Mars red soil and Jupiters stormy red spot. They will also determine why radio wave receivers are curved, how radio waves are sent around the Earth via satellite, how satellites enter into orbit, and how rockets achieve escape velocity. Featuring color illustrations and safe, simple step-by-step instructions, Janice VanCleave again shows just how much fun science can be.
