Which star is closest to us? Class 6
Question 1.
Which star is closest to us? Class 6
Answer:
The closest star to us is the Sun. It’s really important because it gives us light and heat! The other star nearest to us after the Sun is Proxima Centauri.
Question 2.
Our Sun is also a star. So how is it that the Sun appears big and lights up the sky while the other stars look like bright dots in the night sky and are not even visible during the day time? Class 6
Answer:
The Sun looks big and bright because it’s much closer to us than other stars. It’s about 93 million miles away! Other stars are really far away, so they look like tiny dots. We can’t see them during the day because the Sun’s light is so bright that it makes the sky look blue and hides the stars.
