Asked by a curious kid
"Twinkle twinkle twinkle Little star"
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are! You're asking about stars, and they are giant balls of hot, glowing gas, like our Sun! They look tiny because they are super, super far away. Sometimes they twinkle because the air around them wiggles, like when you see heat rising from a hot sidewalk.
Fun fact: Our Sun is actually a star, and it's the closest one to Earth!
Fun fact: Some stars are so big that millions of Earths could fit inside them!
Fun fact: Stars make their own light and heat by burning special gases, like a giant cosmic campfire!
