The Science Works series use cartoon-style illustrations and lively narrative text to make key topics in science accessible and engaging.

Without the Sun, there would be no good days or bad days, or even birthdays. There would be no days at all – just one dark, endless night.

In this revised edition from Jacqui Bailey, we follow the story of the path of the sun from dawn to dusk. We learn how light rays travel out from the sun, how shadows are formed, how the moon lights up the night sky, and how the earth orbits the sun once every year. This book also contains an experiment, more great facts to know, useful websites, and an index.

Ideal for readers age 6+.
