A simple explanation for young children about what the Sun is and how it is different from a meteor.
Hi there! Let’s talk about the Sun and meteors.
First, the Sun is a big, hot ball of gas that shines in the sky. It gives us light and warmth during the day. It’s like a giant lamp in the sky that helps plants grow and keeps us warm.
A meteor, on the other hand, is something very different. Meteors are small rocks or pieces of dust that come from space. Sometimes they can fall to Earth and make a bright streak in the sky, which we call a shooting star.
So, the Sun is NOT a meteor. The Sun is a star, and meteors are small rocks. They are both in the sky, but they are not the same thing!
Does that help you understand? If you have more questions, feel free to ask!
