Every day, the sky has two special helpers: the Sun and the Moon. They take turns watching over Earth, making sure we always have light when we need it.

The Sun rises in the morning. Its bright light warms the ground, wakes animals, and helps plants grow strong.

The Sun looks small in the sky, but it’s actually a huge star! It is much bigger than Earth and gives us heat, light, and energy.

Plants use sunlight to make their food. Animals—and people—need the plants, so the Sun helps all life on Earth.

When the Sun goes down, the Moon comes out. It glows softly and lights up the night sky.

The Moon looks bright, but it doesn’t make its own light. It shines because it reflects sunlight!

Sometimes the Moon is full and round. Sometimes it looks like a slice. These shapes are called phases, and they change every month.

The Moon is Earth’s closest neighbor in space. It takes about 27 days for it to go around Earth once.

The Moon’s gravity pulls on Earth’s oceans. This makes the water rise and fall—something we call tides.

Sometimes the Sun and the Moon share the sky. You might see the Moon in the daytime!

Once in a while, the Sun, Earth, and Moon line up perfectly. This creates an eclipse—a special shadow show in the sky.

The Sun gives us bright days. The Moon gives us calm nights. Together, they keep our world balanced.

The Sun and the Moon may seem far away, but every day they help Earth stay warm, bright, and full of life. What amazing sky friends we have!
