Stars: Sparks in the Dark
At the park, look up in the dark. You can see sparks!
The sparks are stars.
Stars are hot globes of gas.
The hot gas makes them shine.
Stars are big, but they look like dots because they are so far from us.
The sun is the star that is closest to Earth.
It is part of the solar system, just like the moon and Mars.
You can use a scope to see an arc of stars up close.
Stars have so much charm!
