Stars

by Evie and Amanda

·       A stars color depends on the temperature of the star’s surface.  All stars are hot but the  blue star is the hottest. They have surface temperatures up to 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

·       On a clear; dark night you can count up to 3,000 separate stars without a telescope.

·       The size of a star tells how long its life will be.  The larger the star the sooner it will fade away.

·       Stars are burning balls of gas.  The kind of gas depends on how old the star is.  Young stars are made mostly of hydrogen. 

·       A star’s light has been traveling for hundreds or thousands of years before reaching the earth.

·       The sun, which is a white star, is the closest star to Earth and the most important.

·       It takes nature millions of years to make a star.

·       Stars do not really twinkle.

·       Stars shine all day

·       Stars look alike from Earth but if you could travel out to them you’d see they came in different sizes and shine in different colors and brightness.
