“Wow! That’s nice!”

“It gives us light and heat.”
“And we are living in what planet?”

“Because it is the closest to the Earth that’s

“Why are we able to live in this planet class?” why it look so bright!”

“Our Solar System has only one star. What do

you call that star?”

“Our sun is also our main source of energy. “These are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars!”
What else does it give us?”

“
“The Sun has only average brightness, but why
do you think it looks so bright when we look at
it?”
 “Very good! That is also the reason why it Sir, the outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn,
