The Sun is a huge ball of burning gas in the sky that gives us light and heat.
The Earth is the planet we live on, and it's the third planet from the Sun.
The Earth orbits (moves around) the Sun in a path called an orbit.
It takes 365 days for the Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun. This is called a year.
The Earth is made up of land, water, and air, which makes it perfect for life.
The Moon is a natural satellite that orbits around the Earth.
The Moon doesn't have its own light. It shines because the Sun's light reflects off its surface.
The Moon takes about 28 days to orbit the Earth once.
The Earth has seasons (like summer, fall, winter, and spring) because of how it's tilted on its axis while it orbits the Sun.
Day and night happen because the Earth spins on its axis, with one side facing the Sun (day) and the other side in darkness (night).
