What reading level is Star-Land : Being Talks With Young People About the Wonders of the Heavens book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The entire shoal of meteors may therefore pursue their common journey around the sun as if inspired by a common purpose, each individual member of the host being, however, guided by the sun, and performing its path in real independence of its neighbours. The orbit followed by this shoal of meteors is enormously large and wide. Here is a sketch of the path (Fig. 77), and I have laid down the position of the orbit of the earth, but not on the same scale. The ellipse is elongated, so that while th...e shoal approaches compara- tively close to the sun at one end of its journey, at the other end it goes out to an enormous distance, far beyond the orbit of the earth — beyond, indeed, the orbit of Jupiter or Saturn; in fact, it reaches to the path of Uranus. To accomplish so vast a journey as this thirty-three years and a quarter are required, and now you will be easily able to see why we get periodical visits from the shoal.
It is, however, a mere piece of good fortune that we 284 Star-Land.
