Do you know what stars are made of? Stars are big balls of burning gases. A star’s gases burn to give off heat and light. Stars do not burn in the same way campfires do though. Did you know that our closest star is the sun? Stars are very bright. There are different color stars. Stars can also make pictures in the sky, like connect the dots activities. The stars that you see at night are out during the daytime, but you can't see them because the sun is really bright and outshining them. This is why sometimes at night it is hard to see the stars in the city because there are so many street lights. If you want to see stars shining brightly at night it’s best to be in a dark area where other lights won’t interrupt the beautiful night sky!
These are real stars in space.
This is not what real stars look like! This is a 5-pointed star.
