The sun

    Hello, I’m Terry. Welcome to Xingyue Science"and"Technology Museum. Now I am going to make a report about the stars. 

    When you look up at the sky on a clear night, you can see many stars. They come in many sizes"and"colours. The sun is one of the stars. It is the closest to the earth of all the stars. But the sun doesn’t look like other stars. It looks bigger. The other stars look small"and"white, because they are so far away. 

    All the stars are quite hot. The hottest stars are blue-white in colour. Stars are yellow in the middle. After that, they are orange,"and"then red. Red stars are the coolest of all, even though they are still hot. The sun is yellow, so some stars are hotter than it"and"some stars are cooler. Some stars are bigger than the sun,"and"some stars are smaller. The sun is a medium-sized star. 

    The sun is very important. Without the sun, the earth would be a cold"and"dark place. No one could live here. 

    Thanks a million for listening to me. This is Terry at Xingyue Science"and"Technology Museum.
