    A fact about the sun is that the Sun is the closest star to Earth! The Sun is made up of gases. The Sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
    The moon is made up of rocks! The moon is not bright, it just looks like it because of the Sun's light it reflects on the moon. Stars explode when they are dead! Stars don't really twinkle they look like it because of the Earths atmosphere.
