Frequently Asked Questions
Why do stars not twinkle during the day?
Stars are present in the sky during the day too, but we cannot see them because the bright sunlight hides their light.
Why does the moon change its shape every day?
The moon does not actually change its shape. We see different parts of the illuminated side of the moon as it revolves around the Earth, which we call phases of the moon.
Is the sun a star?
Yes, the sun is a star. It looks much bigger and brighter than other stars because it is the star closest to the Earth.
