From the story
My First Book of Space and the Solar System
Starring CharlieTwo and Cosmo!
Ready, explorer? Our solar system is a big, beautiful neighborhood in space!
The Sun shines in the middle, and the planets travel around it on glowing paths.
Farther out, the giant planets sparkle and spin!
There is so much to see. Buckle up—our space trip is about to begin!
WOW! Look at all those sparkly lights in the sky!
Those are stars and planets, far, far away. But not too far for us!
Are you ready for the biggest, most amazing adventure EVER?
Let’s blast off and explore our solar system! 3… 2… 1… LIFT-OFF!
What do you think we will see first?
Look at that! It’s the SUN!
It is not a planet—it is a giant, super-hot star right in the middle of our solar system!
The Sun sends sunshine and warmth all the way to Earth.
It is like a giant heater for our whole neighborhood in space!
Did you know? One million Earths could fit inside the Sun. Whoa!
Whee! We’re on MERCURY!
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, and it zips around super fast!
