The Solar System

The Solar System is the part of the universe in which we live. It would take many years to travel from one side of it to the other. This book looks at the solar system-what it is, where it came from, and how we study it. Find out why the planets orbit the sun, why a day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus, and discover how the planet Saturn could float on water. Book jacket.
