Let’s go through each statement one by one and decide if it’s True or False.
1.
The sun is a planet.
→ The Sun is not a planet. It’s a star — a huge ball of hot gas that gives off light and heat. Planets orbit stars. So this is
False.
2.
Sun’s light reaches Earth in around 8 minutes.
→ Yes! Light travels super fast, but the Sun is still very far away. It takes about 8 minutes for sunlight to reach us. So this is
True.
3.
The sun provides energy on earth.
→ Absolutely! The Sun gives us light and warmth. Plants use sunlight to grow, and we get energy from food that comes from plants (or animals that eat plants). So this is
True.
4.
The sun revolves around the Earth.
→ No way! Actually, the Earth goes around the Sun — that’s called orbiting. Long ago, people thought the Sun went around Earth, but now we know better. So this is
False.
5.
The sun is a star close to our planet.
→ Well… the Sun *is* a star, and it’s the closest star to Earth. But “close” is relative — it’s still 93 million miles away! Still, compared to other stars, yes, it’s the closest. So this is
True.
6.
The sun can burn our skin, even here on Earth.
→ Yep! That’s what happens when you get a sunburn. The Sun’s rays are strong enough to hurt your skin even though we’re far away. Always wear sunscreen! So this is
True.
