About This Book

Eine populärwissenschaftliche Darstellung beginnt mit lyrischen Schilderungen des Sonnenlichts in der Landschaft und erläutert dann sachlich die Sonne als Himmelskörper: ihr kreisförmiges Erscheinungsbild, jahreszeitliche Schwankungen des scheinbaren Durchmessers durch die elliptische Erdbahn und die geometrischen Messverfahren zur Bestimmung von Entfernungen und Größen. Sie behandelt die Bedeutung der Sonne für Klima und Leben, die Nutzung ihrer Energie und ordnet die Sterne im kosmischen Maßstab durch Beschreibungen ihrer Eigenschaften und Beobachtungsmethoden ein. Ergänzt wird das Werk durch historische und kulturelle Betrachtungen zur Verehrung der Sonne sowie Hinweise für interessierte Naturfreunde.
