The sky is blue because sunlight is made up of all the colors of the rainbow 🌈. When sunlight reaches Earth, it bumps into tiny air particles. Blue light bounces around more than other colors, so that's what we see! It's like when you shake a blue glitter jar—blue sparkles are everywhere!

Parents, imagine the sky is a big, happy painting where blue is the favorite color today!

Rain comes from clouds in the sky! 🌧️ When the sun warms up water from lakes, rivers, and oceans, tiny water droplets rise into the air like magic. These droplets gather together to form clouds. When the clouds get too heavy, they let the water fall back down as rain. It's like the clouds are crying happy tears to water the plants and fill our rivers!

Fun Fact: Did you know that raindrops are not tear-shaped? They actually look like tiny hamburger buns when falling!

In the fall, leaves change color because they are getting ready to take a long nap! 🌳💤 Trees stop making food, and the green color (called chlorophyll) goes away. Then, we see beautiful colors like yellow, orange, and red! 🍁

It's like the trees are putting on a colorful show before winter comes. 🎨

Clouds are like fluffy cotton balls in the sky! 🌤️ They float because they are very light, like tiny water drops or ice crystals dancing in the air. The wind carries them, and they move slowly like balloons.

Imagine blowing bubbles—they float because they are light, just like clouds!

Thunder and lightning happen when clouds bump into each other in the sky! 🌩️ When they bump, it makes a big spark called lightning. The loud sound after the spark is thunder—it's like the sky clapping its hands! 👏

Lightning is very fast and bright, and thunder is its noisy friend. They usually come together when it rains a lot.

The ocean is salty because tiny bits of salt from rocks and land wash into it over a looong time! 🌍💧 Rivers carry the salt to the ocean, and it stays there because the water evaporates, but the salt doesn't.

Imagine if you put sugar in water and let the water dry up—the sugar stays behind! That's what happens with salt in the ocean. 😊
