🌟 Understanding Suns and Moons

Before you start sorting, read this helpful information:

Suns (Stars): These are huge balls of hot gas that make their own light and heat. Our Sun is actually a star! Other stars look like tiny dots because they are very far away.

Moons: These are rocky objects that travel around planets. They don't make their own light - they reflect light from the Sun. Earth has one moon, but some planets have many moons!
