Without the sun all living things on Earth would die. The sun is a star. In the sky there are thousands of stars like the sun. They are as large as the sun and as hot as the sun. At night you can see many stars, but in day-time you can only see one star—the sun. The sun is much nearer to us than any other stars. That is why it looks like the biggest and brightest of all the stars. The distance of the sun from the Earth is as much as 150 million kilometers. Most of the stars are thousands of light years away form the Earth. Do you know what a light year is? Nothing in the world travels faster than light. It travels 300,000 kilometers a second. One light year is the distance that light travels in one year. important重要 living things 生物 at night 夜晚 in day-time 白天 distance距离 150 million kilometers 1.5亿公里 light year 光年 travel运行 请关注微信公众号“西学宗用精品英语”（bobzongshenzhen）即可每天阅读英汉双语学习资料（【每日正音】【语法讲义】【完美英音训练营】【英汉互译实战】【剑桥少儿英语】【周末英语小故事】【小古文100篇】等）。
