Opis

The Sun, Mercury, and Venus explores the innermost solar system and the importance of the Sun's energy on orbiting bodies. As the closest planet to the Sun, Mercury is the least visited of terrestrial planets and is difficult to see because it is always close to the Sun from the Earth's perspective. This volume also covers the geological characteristics of Venus in relation to the Sun and the rest of the solar system.
