What is a planet? We live on one, but there are others. Are they all like Earth? Is there life on other planets? All About the Planets takes children on a tour of the nine planets of the solar system, explaining the vital statistics about each -- size, distance from the sun, temperature and why some are rocky and solid while others are made entirely of gases.
