What are stars?


Hi guys!

Stars are amazing glowing and colourful objects that light the night sky. A star is also a massive ball of plasma held together by gravity in the sky. Gravity is something that you cannot stand on because it is air, and we cannot stand on air. Stars are actually planets. But the planets are too far in space to be seen, so they just show a twinkle of light to us, instead of showing their true selves. We are lucky that we can see some stars. And when we mean some stars, we mean that some stars take between 90-194 hours; about, to get to us depending on how far away they are. Amazing! Did you know that every night you see the same stars in the same position, but some are too dark to see, and some appear at different hours at night time. Stars are absolutely beautiful things, and we shouldn't ignore them. 

Did you know that the sun is the closest planet to earth?
