Professor Brian Cox visits some of the most stunning locations on earth to describe how the laws of nature have carved natural wonders across the solar system.

First, a definition is in order because there is some confusion created by the term '' solar greenhouse.'' The confusion is understandable because all greenhouses are, in fact, solar. However, traditionally designed greenhouses have rarely been concerned with the most effective use of the sun's energy. Those described in this book are. We have incorporated four basic elements in the design and operation of each of our greenhouses:
1. The most efficient collection of solar energy.

Discovering the Solar System, Second Edition covers the Sun, the planets, their satellites and the host of smaller bodies that orbit the Sun. This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the subject for science students, and examines the discovery, investigation and modelling of these bodies. Following a thematic approach, chapters cover interiors, surfaces and the atmospheres of major bodies, including the Earth. The book starts with an overview of the Solar System and its origin, and then takes a look at small bodies, such as asteroids, comets and meteorites.

After hundreds of years of observation, theorizing, exploration, and data collection, the universe is still a mysterious place. Numerous cosmic questions remain unanswered despite the scientific and technological advances made since the telescope was invented in the 1600s. But we are learning more about the cosmos all the time through intense examination of the solar system in which we live.

Ancient people around the globe once believed the Moon, Sun, planets, and stars were gods and goddesses, demons and angels revolving around Earth, the centre of their universe. Little did they know that Earth is a mere speck in a vast universe. It took many centuries for people to realize that Earth isn’t even the centre of our solar system. It is, however, one of the components of what’s known as the inner solar system— comprised of the Sun, four terrestrial planets, and the moons that orbit them—which is examined thoroughly in this book.
