Synopsis

Unlock the forces behind the solar system and how the Sun shapes planetary motion.

This nonfiction work combines clear explanations with illustrations to show how attraction and a proposed repelling force guide the paths of planets, comets, and moons around the Sun.

This edition presents a practical look at the ideas and mechanics that govern the solar system. It uses diagrams and accessible language to help readers see how rotation, centrifugal effects, and the Sun’s influence interact to produce the motions we observe, from inner planets to distant satellites, without relying on heavy jargon.
  • Learn how the book explains the balance between attraction and repulsion in planetary movement.
  • See how the Sun’s rotation and the resulting forces are described and illustrated.
  • Explore the way diagrams convey complex ideas about orbits and moons.
  • Understand the historical context and evolving theories of planetary motion.
Ideal for readers of science history and introductory mechanics, this edition clarifies a traditional topic with practical visuals and a steady, step‑by‑step approach. It’s suitable for curious readers who want a grounded look at how the solar system functions as a connected mechanism.
