The Sun Is a StarNell sits in the sand. Ouch! It is hot!
What made the sand so hot? Look up!
It is the sun! The sun gives us light and heat.
Here is a big secret. The sun is a star!
It is the star that is the closest to us.
It looks small. That is because it is far, far away.
Drive a car to the sun? You would be old, old, old!
The sun is big, too. A million Earths could fit in it!
Plants need the sun to grow. So do we!
Do not look right at the sun. It can hurt your eyes.
The Earth spins like a top. That makes day and night.
Night comes. Nell looks up at the stars.
Many stars are suns, too. They are just very far away.
Nell waves. "Hello, far-away suns!"
Then she gets into bed. The sun comes back in the morning.
