The moon changes shape because it moves around the Earth π! When the moon is between the Earth and the sun, we can't see itβthis is called a New Moon. When the Earth is between the sun and the moon, we see a big, round Full Moon π! The moon doesn't really changeβit just looks different from Earth.
Sometimes it looks like a banana π, and other times like a big circle!
Stars are like big, shiny balls of fire in the sky! π They are made mostly of gas, like the air we breathe, but much, much hotter. The main gas is called hydrogen, which is very light and floats around. When stars get super hot, they glow bright like the Sun!
At night, stars twinkle because their light travels very far to reach us. β¨
π Right now, we live on Earth, which is the best planet for us! It has air to breathe, water to drink, and yummy food to eat. Other planets are too hot, too cold, or don't have air like Earth does. But scientists are working hard to find ways for people to live on other planets one day! π
Fun Fact: Mars is called the Red Planet because it looks red in the sky!
The sun is like a big, bright ball of fire in the sky! π₯ It's so hot because it's made of something called gas that is always burning and making light and heat. Just like when you sit near a campfire, you feel warm, the sun warms up the whole Earth! π
The sun is very, very far away, but it's still so hot because it's HUGEβmuch bigger than our planet!
Rockets fly into space like big, strong birds! π They have special engines that make fire and smoke to push them up, up, up into the sky! π
When the rocket's engine starts, it pushes down on the ground so hard that the rocket goes up super fast! It's like when you blow up a balloon and let it goβwhoosh! π
A black hole is like a space vacuum cleaner πβ¨! It's a place in space where gravity is so strong that even light can't escape. Imagine if you dropped your toy into a super deep hole and couldn't get it backβthat's kind of what happens in a black hole!
Black holes are invisible because no light comes out, but scientists can find them by seeing how they pull on stars and other things around them.
π The Earth is like a big spinning ball! When your side of the Earth faces the Sun, it's daytime π. When it turns away, it's nighttime π.
Imagine spinning around with a flashlightβwhen the light shines on you, it's 'day,' and when it doesn't, it's 'night'!
The sun is very, very far away! π It's so far that if you tried to drive there in a car, it would take more than 170 yearsβeven if you drove non-stop, day and night!
But don't worry, the sun's light reaches us in just 8 minutes. That's faster than you can eat your breakfast! π₯
π½ Maybe! Space is very, very big, and there are so many stars and planets. Some of them might have little aliens living there, just like in your favorite cartoons! π
Scientists are still looking for them with big telescopes. Maybe one day we'll find a friendly alien to say hello! π
Sleep is like a magical recharge for your body and brain! πβ¨ When you sleep, your body grows, and your brain gets ready for a new day full of fun and learning. Just like your toys need batteries, you need sleep to stay happy and healthy!
Sleep also helps you dream about amazing adventures! π¦π
