📝 Quick summary of key information

Why does the Shining Sun shine so brightly in space?

The Sun is a giant star in the middle of our solar system. It is so big that it could hold more than one million Earths inside!

The Sun shines because of nuclear reactions that happen in its center. These reactions release a huge amount of light and heat, making it so bright.

The Sun is very important for life on Earth. It gives light and warmth to plants to grow and to animals to live. Without it, Earth would be very cold and dark.

The Sun affects the seasons and the day/night cycle. In summer, it shines stronger and longer, while in winter, it shines less and for a shorter time. It can also be dangerous if you don't protect yourself with sunglasses or sunscreen.

The Shining Sun and the First Cosmic Jump

Why does the Sun shine so brightly in space?

Meeting the Shining Sun

In the sparkling vastness‎ (1) of space, two little asteroids‎ (2), Piko and Luma, dash off to explore the solar system. Curious and happy, they have already encountered incredible wonders. Each planet they visit offers new adventures filled with laughter, surprises, and discoveries. Now, they are approaching The Shining Sun, a joyful star with big, bright rays.

Piko, with his eyes wide open from curiosity, then asks:
« Why does the Shining Sun shine so brightly? »

The Shining Sun, with a bright smile, explains: « The Sun is a giant star. It is made of very hot gases, like hydrogen. This is because of nuclear fusion that happens in its core. The hydrogen turns into helium‎ (3). This releases a huge amount of energy‎ (4). »

After thinking for a moment, Luma explains:
« This means that The Shining Sun has a source of energy that will last for about 5 billion more years before it runs out. »

The Shining Sun, with a reassuring smile, says to them: « Even though he has lots of energy, he will turn off‎ (5) one day. But not for billions of years. »

After listening to The Shining Sun, Piko and Luma are amazed. They understand better why the sun shines so brightly. The Shining Sun shows them a golden sparkle containing a shiny clue.

The Shining Sun gives them a golden sparkle containing a shiny clue: a sky map that will guide them to their next destination.

The Golden Spark and the Sky Map

Piko and Luma look at the golden map. It shines brightly. The stars and planets sparkle like diamonds.

Piko, with sparkling eyes, asks:
« Where are we going next? »

Luma, after studying the map, then says:
« The map shows Mercury. It's the first planet in the solar system. »

Piko, looking at the map, says:
« Mercury is close to The Shining Sun. That's true. »

The Shining Sun, with a bright smile, says:
« Mercury is fast. She spins quickly around me. You will love her. »

With a spark of excitement in their hearts, Piko and Luma dash through the stars, guided by their golden map. The little planet Mercury, quick and agile like a hare, is their next stop. She will tell them why she is the closest to The Shining Sun and invite them to a thrilling race across her sparkling craters. The golden map, given by The Shining Sun, leads them to this exciting adventure.
