STARS IN SPACE

The only light comes from millions of twinkling shining stars . We can see a lot of stars , but there are still a ton of stars that people haven ' t seen . Guess what ? Did you know that some specific stars , called brown dwarfs , can turn into planets ? Well they can ! It takes a long time for a star ' s light to reach our view from Earth .

On Earth stars look like tiny specks , but our Sun is so big , we see it as a big bright ball of light . What this means is that the Sun , compared to the stars is way bigger . Our biggest star , the Sun , is 100 times wider than Earth . Did you know that our Sun is almost 27,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit ? That ' s really hot ! Our Sun is the hottest thing in the Solar System !
