Our giant star is so big and bright that it gives us light and warmth every single day.
The Sun is the star at the center of our Solar System, a giant ball of hot glowing gas that gives Earth its light and warmth. It is so big that more than a million Earths could fit inside it, with heat and light traveling across space to reach us.
Mars and Jupiter are planets, not stars, and both travel around the Sun themselves, just like Earth does, instead of giving off their own light.
The Sun's light takes about eight minutes to reach Earth, so we always see it as it looked eight minutes ago.
