The Sun: Our Closest Star: How Does the Sun Work and Why It Matters, Explained for Adult Beginners in Astronomy (the solar system explorer series for adult) - Softcover
Book 7 of 7: the solar system explorer series for adult
Synopsis
The Sun converts 600 million tonnes of hydrogen into helium
every second. A single photon generated in its core takes 170,000
years to reach the surface. Its outer atmosphere is 300 times hotter
than its visible surface — and nobody fully understands why. A single
large eruption from the Sun caused the 1989 Quebec blackout; a
Carrington-level event today could disable power grids across entire
continents for months.
The Sun: Our Closest Star is a rigorous, comprehensive
guide to solar science for adult readers who want the full depth of
the subject — from the quantum physics of nuclear fusion to the
practical threat of space weather to the 5-billion-year future
of the star that sustains all life on Earth.
Each chapter includes a Notable feature
and the book ends with a 41-term glossary of solar
and heliophysics terminology.
Perfect for: Adults fascinated by astronomy
and astrophysics, readers following space weather news
who want deeper scientific context, science enthusiasts
who want genuine depth without mathematics, and anyone
who has watched a total solar eclipse and wants to
understand what they saw.
The Sun is the most familiar object in the
universe — and one of the least understood.
This book changes that.
