* Stars are suns. They are giant balls of hot gas that produce their own light and heat through nuclear fusion.
* The light we see from stars is their own light. It's not reflected sunlight.
Think of it this way:
* Sun: Like a giant, blazing light bulb.
* Stars: Like other, smaller light bulbs scattered across the vast night sky.
So, while we see the sun's light during the day, the stars shine with their own light, which travels across vast distances to reach us.
