The Sun is our powerhouse, sustaining life
on Earth. It energizes our planet and fuels the engine of life. Its warmth drives
our weather, lifting water from the seas and producing winds that drive clouds
over the continents.
The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the Sun is
a fundamental, up-to-date reference source of information about the Sun, from
basic material to detailed concepts. The many full-colour figures and photographs
throughout the book help to make all the information highly accessible. The
text is organized in a thematic way, with chapters on the properties of the
Sun as a star and its place in the Galaxy and the Universe. There are chapters
that deal with the science of the Sun's interior and its visible disk, and what
makes it shine. The work also covers solar flares and the solar wind, and their
impact on the Earth.
