Exploring Planet Earth and the Moon

We are so used to Earth and its wonders that sometimes it is hard to remember that it is just one of the millions of planets scattered throughout the universe. In this heavily illustrated volume, students will learn all about our home planet and its moon. Packed with facts about the planet’s properties, students will learn how Earth and the moon work together, what we have learned about the moon from years of space exploration, and the moon’s influence on weather and ocean tides. One day they might even live in a colony on the moon!
