Structure of the Solar System



Structure of the Solar System is an introductory astronomy class for non-majors at Loyola College.

The text for PH140.01 and PH140.02 is "Voyages Through the Universe - Volume 1: The Sky, Light, and Planets" by Fraknoi, Morrison, & Wolff, 1997, Saunders College Publishing.   A newer edition of this book has been published under the title "Voyages to the Planets - second edition" by Fraknoi, Morrison, & Wolff, 2000, Saunders College Publishing.  The newer edition is very similar to the earlier edition, but note that some of the problems have been renumbered and revised.
