Remember

The sun is the main source of heat and light. It is

made up of very hot gases. These gases are so hot
that they glow. The sun's surface is about 5000
degrees Celsius and it's temperature at the core is
about 15000 degree Celsius. The sun's heat and
light reaches the Earth through radiation.
Almost all living things really on the steady heat and
light of the sun so living things survive. The sunlight
brightens the Earth and helps us see the things in
our surroundings. Plants can undergo the process of
"food making" called photosynthesis with the aid of
the sunlight. Aside from that, the sun's heat warms
the Earth and affects the changes in temperature of
the earth's surface causing the changes in the
weather conditions.

Remember
 As the sun rises in the morning, or sets in
the afternoon, it is low in the horizon. It's
light rays are slanted as they hit the ground,
so longer shadows are formed. When the
sun is high or nearly above the horizon, the
sunlight strikes the ground at nearly a right
angle so shorter shadows are formed. When
the sun is directly above the horizon, the
light rays of the sun strikes directly above
the objects so no visible shadow is seen on
the ground since the shadow of the entire
body would fit in its footprints.
 The changes in the position and length of
shadows in the surroundings depend on the
angle at which the sunlight strikes the
object to the ground.
