Features: Why does the sun shine and emit heat? Why does the moon have phases? These are questions that many children find puzzling. Living on the third planet in the solar system—Earth—we can easily see the celestial bodies closest to us: the sun, the nearest star, and the moon, Earth's only satellite. These two planets are vastly different in size and nature, and children are likely familiar with them but have not delved deeply into their details. "Exploring the Sun: How Much Do You Know?" and "Exploring the Moon: How Much Do You Know?" provide detailed entries, concise explanations, and lively illustrations with humorous dialogues, introducing the basic knowledge, surface phenomena, and important characteristics of the sun and moon. Through enjoyable 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 will not only deepen their understanding of the sun and moon but also be inspired to explore the entire field of astronomy and the universe, becoming little astronomers.
