Our Planet The Earth (Science For Everyone) | A. V. Byalko

The physical principles underlying the global
phenomena that occur on the Earth and other planets
in the solar system are presented in a way accessible
to older pupils at school. The similarities between the
phenomena on the various planets are due to the
nature of their common star, the Sun. The Sun’s
structure, the nuclear reactions proceeding within its
core, and the stability of its nuclear fires take up an
entire chapter.

This book will help answer many of the questions
often asked, such as where does the wind come from,
what are clouds made of, what are ocean currents,
and what affects Earth’s climate.
