Practice Post

Get ready for your Chapter Challenge with these practice questions!

Why do we get under shade to cool off?

By getting in the shade, we avoid getting hit by direct sunlight, which would normally "heat" our skin.

TRUE or FALSE: The Sun is a really big and bright star.

False. The Sun may seem really big and bright because it is the closest star to us, but when we compare it to other stars, it is actually medium sized.

TRUE or FALSE: The Moon changes shape, and that's why we have moon phases.

False. Because the Moon is constantly moving around the Earth, sunlight shines on different parts of it at different times. That's why we see the Moon differently in the sky.
