內容簡介：
You live on Earth, so you already know a lot about it. But do
you know about its place in out solar system? For instance, it''s

would fit inside it. And did you know our planet Earth takes 365
days to go around the sun, while the planet Pluto takes 248
years?
This simple text by Franklyn M. Branely introduces the nine
planets in our solar system and is complemented by Kevin O''Malley''s
full-color illustrations, which incorporate some of the newest
space photographs available. How hot is it on Venus? Which planet
takes longest to orbit the sun? Find out the answers in this
updated version of this popular text. Kevin O''Malleys often
humorous illustrations depict a group of children and an astronomer
as they learn all about our solar system. Included are some of the
newest space photographs available, as well as many hands-on
activities.
