The sun has been shining for billions of years and it will no doubt continue to shine for billions more because its mass is fed by the energy of countless gas molecules. It is a huge hydrogen bomb, con- tinually exploding, yet held together by gravity. Isaac Asimov clearly ex- plains how the sun and planets were formed and how the sun’s energy is radiated to light and warm our earth. He gives readers a graphic introduction to the chemical and physical structure of the solar system and the earth’s place in it. There is a beautiful logic to his definition of such basic phen- omena as radiation, energy, and molecular structure. Dr. Asimov, a biochemist, has an unquenchable curiosity about countless scientific sub- jects and is a prolific writer of books about them. Another interesting and important book is one called The Sun by Herbert S. Zim. This book explains that compared to other stars, our sun is medium- sized, medium-hot, and not out- standing. But for us, it is the verse. We know there could be no life on the earth without heat and light from the sun. What creates that heat and light? We often hear about sunspots. How do they affect us? These and many other questions are ex- plained by Dr. Zim’s clear text, the simple experiments to be done by the reader, and the graphic illustrations on almost every page. The Sun And Its Family by Irving Adler explains many dif- ferent things about the sun. This book tells the story of the dis- coveries that broke down false beliefs about the earth and sun, and led to an understanding of the real nature of the earth as a member of the sun’s family of planets. When we gic the sun, as it rises in™7le east, climbs across the sky, and then sets in the west, it looks as though the sun is going around the earth, rather than the other way around. But things aren’t always the way they seem. The earth is round, does spin, and - does revolve around the sun. This book answers many of the questions we may have about the sun and its family. All of these books and many more about the sun and the other planets are available in the Children’s Annex.
