Jimmy and his father were on a camping trip. Jimmy noticed all the stars in the night sky. He found groups of stars that made shapes. The next day, Jimmy was disappointed that the stars were gone. Jimmy’s dad explained that there was a star that was visible—the Sun. Jimmy learned why people see the Sun during the day. He was excited for nighttime so that he and his dad could see the night stars again.

Jimmy and his father were camping. Jimmy did not understand why he saw so many stars at night, but not during the day.
