very hot. The sun gives us light and heat. Plants need the sun to grow. We can see the
stars at night. They give off light and heat, like the sun. That is because the sun is a star,
too! There are more stars than we can count. Some people see shapes in the stars. A
group of stars that make a shape is called a constellation. The moon is out at night.
Sometimes we can still see it during the day! It does not give off light and heat.
