| Summary |
"While Earth is just a tiny part of a universe, it is still so vast even numbers such as billions and trillions aren't big enough to measure it! This in-depth look at our world's place in space explores the big bang, the formation of the solar system, and why we experience day and night and different seasons. Readers will even learn how ancient people used the Sun's movements and temples such as the UK's Stonehenge to predict the seasons and why the Moon seems to change shape in the night sky. Packed with facts and activities." -- Adapted from Amazon.com. |
