Narration:
Thea Apanius and Taylor Pentz
Script:
-Every morning the sun rises. The sun brings lots of light and warmth.
-Throughout the day, the sun moves across the sky until it sets in the evening.
-The sun is 27 million degrees fahrenheit! That is really hot! The sun’s heat is called thermal energy.
-The heat or thermal energy warms everything on Earth. The sun makes the land, air, and water warmer when it is out.
-In the summer everything is warm and sunny. This is because the sun is out longer during summer days.
-The sun is able to give us more thermal energy or heat when the sun is out for a longer time. During the summer the light does not spread out as much so there is more energy at any one spot. This gives us more heat.
-In the winter, everything is colder than in the summer. This is because the sun is out less during winter days.
-The sun does not give us as much thermal energy or heat when the sun is not out for a long time. During the winter, the light spreads out more so there is less energy at any one spot. This gives us less heat.
-The sun is very bright! The sun is so bright that you cannot look at it for too long or it hurts your eyes.
-The sun is so bright that it lights up the Earth when it is out. The sun’s light is called light energy.
-The sun gives the Earth thermal energy, or heat and light energy, or sunshine.
-The sun gives the Earth more energy than anything else.
-When the sun goes down, the sky gets darker and the air gets a little colder.
-It is then night time until the sun rises again in the morning.
