Space is the vast area beyond our planet Earth, filled with stars, planets, and galaxies. Stars are huge balls of gas that shine bright in the night sky. They produce light and heat through a process called nuclear fusion, where atoms combine to create energy. For example, our Sun is a star that gives us light during the day and keeps our planet warm. Each star is unique, with different colors and sizes, making the night sky a beautiful sight!
