Earth in its solar-system setting

Shoshana Weider’s illustrated reference book moves between views of Earth from space and closer looks at the planet, including a chapter on its atmosphere. Photographs, diagrams, information panels, and short sections organize material about Earth and its place among the solar-system planets. Comparisons with other worlds—including details about gravity and solar eclipses—give the subject a wider astronomical frame. The book combines space and satellite imagery with illustrations by Dawn Cooper, presenting Earth through both planetary science and visual observation.

  • Children ages 7–9 exploring Earth and space
