Patterns in the Sky

The Sun gives us heat and light. When the Sun sets, the sky gets dark. Sometimes the Moon shines in the dark sky. We can see the Moon at night when there is no light from the Sun.

The Sun/Moon pattern repeats every day. When the Sun comes up, it lights the sky. Sometimes the moon is up during the day. The Sun and the Moon are always in the sky, even when we cannot see them.
