Hi there!
Glad you could be with me again today!
I have another question for you.
Look at the above cartoon I drew for today.
Is the boy bigger than the house?
(answers vary)
He sure LOOKS bigger, but maybe he is standing closer to the artist!
He could even be a skateboarding cartoon kid who lives in the house behind him!
There is also a cartoon SUN in the picture and a cartoon STAR.
Next question: Which is BIGGER--the SUN or the STAR?
In the cartoon drawing, the SUN is lots bigger-- BUT a STAR is MUCH farther away from us than our sun!
A STAR is SO FAR AWAY that it looks like a tiny sparkle of light in the night sky--but it could be MUCH bigger than our sun!
In fact, the tiny star you see at night COULD be a WHOLE LOT OF VERY DISTANT SUNS--so far away they just look like a single star!
Isn't that interesting?
See you tomorrow!
Uncle Tom
