Sommario/riassunto: | This curriculum-based book takes a close look at Venus and shows young people just how different our neighboring planet is from our own. Known as the hottest planet, Venus is an example of the greenhouse effect to the extreme. Young readers will take a tour beneath the sulfur dioxide clouds and see the planets surface up close with images taken by the Magellan and the Venus Express missions. |
