Let’s go through each fact one by one and decide if it’s true or false.
1.
The Sun orbits the Earth.
→ False. Actually, the Earth orbits the Sun — not the other way around!
2.
The Sun is a planet.
→ False. The Sun is not a planet — it’s a star. Planets orbit stars.
3.
The Sun is made of gases.
→ True. The Sun is mostly hydrogen and helium gas — super hot gas!
4.
The Sun is smaller than the Moon.
→ False. The Sun is HUGE — much bigger than the Moon (and even bigger than Earth!).
5.
The Sun is a star.
→ True. Yes! Our Sun is a star — the closest one to us.
6.
The Sun lights the Earth.
→ True. That’s why we have daytime — sunlight reaches Earth and makes things bright.
7.
The Sun is made of rock.
→ False. No rocks inside the Sun — it’s all super-hot gas and plasma.
8.
The Sun is in the center of our solar system.
→ True. All the planets, including Earth, orbit around the Sun — so it’s right in the middle.
Now let’s list only the TRUE facts:
✔ The Sun is made of gases.
✔ The Sun is a star.
✔ The Sun lights the Earth.
✔ The Sun is in the center of our solar system.
Final Answer:
Circle these four facts:
- The Sun is made of gases.
- The Sun is a star.
- The Sun lights the Earth.
- The Sun is in the center of our solar system.
