Discussion Questions

  • Read the text and examine the images on pages 32-35. What is the main idea of this section?
  • Read the boxed text on page 39. What reason does the author give to support the point that you can’t see the sun after it sinks below the horizon?
  • How does the illustration on page 43 support the text and caption on that page?
