Readers learn about the sun, the planets and their moons, meteors and comets, and the amazing tools that astronomers and astronauts have used to study the solar system over the years. Amazing Solar System Projects provides detailed step-by-step instructions and diagrams for creating the projects, which include making a greenhouse to see what happens on Venus to constructing a model of the phases of the moon to demonstrate why the moon has phases. Fascinating facts and anecdotes, biographies, and trivia are interspersed with the fun projects to teach readers all about the solar system.
