With an emphasis on numerical modeling, Physics of the Sun: A First Course presents a quantitative examination of the physical structure of the Sun and the conditions of its extended atmosphere. It gi
Looks at the ways that the sun affects conditions on the earth, including the way that it causes day and night, causes the seasons, produces light, and serves as the ultimate source of energy for all
Our knowledge of the universe has increased tremendously over the last century, and our discoveries are not over - there remain scientific mysteries that the next generation of astronomers and planet
The Sun and stars rotate in different ways and at different rates of velocity, and?knowledge of how they rotate is important in understanding the formation and evolution of stars and their structure.
In Part 1, the book describes the very latest thinking on solar physics in (mostly non-mathematical) detail, incorporating the latest results from research concerning the structure and behaviour of t
The Sun is an account of the many ways in which our nearest star affects our planet, how its influence has changed over the last few centuries and millennia, and the extent to which we can predict it
"Why do plants need sunlight? Why do we have day and night? What are solar panels? 'Investigate' encourages science enquiry with an interactive, investigative, and visual approach to a wide range of c
A total eclipse of the Sun is the most awesome sight in the heavens. Totality takes you to eclipses of the past, present, and future, and lets you see--and feel--why people travel to the ends of the E
