The Sun is a large and hot star. It is very close to Earth and gives us light
and heat. Without the Sun, we would not be able to survive.

The Sun is much bigger than the Earth. It is also very hot, but we can’t feel it
because we are so far away. During the day, the Sun looks like a bright
circle in the sky. It is so bright that we need to wear special glasses to look
at it. The Sun gives us light so we can see and tells us when it’s time to
wake up.

When playing outside, it is important to protect our skin from the Sun. We
should wear protective clothing like hats, long-sleeved shirts, and pants
that cover our legs. We should also use sunscreen. By wearing protective
clothing and sunscreen, we can enjoy playing outside and keep our skin
healthy.
