Features: Why does the sun shine and emit heat? Why does the moon have phases? These are questions that many children find puzzling. We, who live on the third planet in the solar system—Earth—and our only satellite—the moon—these two planets are vastly different in size and nature. Children are likely familiar with them, but have not delved deeply into them. Explore the Sun, How Much Do You Know? and Explore the Moon, How Much Do You Know? provide detailed entries, concise explanations, and are accompanied by vivid illustrations and humorous dialogues, introducing the basic knowledge, surface phenomena, and important characteristics of the sun and moon. Through relaxed reading, children can feel as if they are personally exploring these two planets, gaining a comprehensive understanding. Although aimed at children, the book includes many new research findings, which is its greatest feature. We hope that after reading, children not only deepen their understanding of the sun and moon but also develop an interest in exploring the entire field of astronomy and the universe, becoming little astronomers.
