15 Million Degrees - Green, Lucie
110 times wider than Earth, 15 million degrees at its core, an atmosphere so huge that Earth is actually within it: come and meet the star of our solar system. But its journey within the Sun takes hundreds of thousands of years. Light takes eight minutes to reach Earth from the surface of the Sun.
What are light and heat? What is going on in there? How does the Sun produce them and how on earth did scientists discover this?
In this astonishing and enlightening adventure, you'll travel millions of miles from inside the Sun to its surface and to Earth, where the light at the end of its journey is allowing you to read right now. You'll discover how the Sun works (including what it sounds like), the latest research in solar physics and how a solar storm could threaten everything we know. And you'll meet the groundbreaking scientists, including the author, who pieced this extraordinary story together.
