The Sun

The Sun is a giant ball of gas. It is the largest Star in The Solar System. The Sun is the center of our Solar System. Life here on Earth would not exist without the Sun. The Sun comes out in the morning, and goes away at night.

FINAL THOUGHTS.....

What does the Sun, Moon, & Stars have in common?

They all take turns being up in the sky for us to see. The sun is out during the day and the moon and stars are out during the night. 

What does the Sun, Moon, & Stars have in Contrast?

They are in the our sky at different times. That’s correct, The Sun, and Moon, and Stars take turns going back and fourth into our sky. 

This makes a pattern. When we wake up we see the Sun, When we go to sleep we see the moon and stars. This pattern happens over and over again everyday.
