Kabir looked out of his window on his birthday night and saw a perfectly round, bright white ball in the sky. What phase of the moon did Kabir see? Answer: He saw a Full Moon!
Maya notice that stars look like tiny dots, while the Moon looks much bigger. Are stars actually smaller than the moon? Answer: No! Stars are actually giant balls of fire, much bigger than the Moon. They only look tiny because they are extremely far away from Earth!
Go to your balcony or window tonight with your mom or dad. Look up and try to count 10 twinkling stars. Draw the shape of the Moon you see tonight in your notebook!
Take a black sheet of paper. Dip a cotton bud or your finger into white paint and put dots on the paper to make your own secret pattern of stars (a constellation)! Give your star pattern a funny name.
