the sun is really a star?It is a giant star at the center of our solar system.The sun is a large ball made of many kinds of gases.It gives light and heat to the planets that make up our solar system and spin around it.The sun rises in the eastern sky each morning.It swallows up the eerie darkness from the night before.It chases away the moon and stars that lurk in the night sky.The shimmer and sparkle of sunlight mark the beginning of a new day.At the end of the day,the sun sets in the western sky.Then,night returns and the stars can be seen in the dark sky overhead.Without the sun there would be no life on Earth as we know it.There would be no spiders spinning their silken webs.There would be no elephants lumbering across vast stretches of land.Read the article“A Giant Star”before answering Numbers 1 through 9.A Giant Star The planets travel around the sun in paths called orbits.Format Weekly AssessmentUNIT122 Florida Weekly Assessment Grade 4 Unit 1 Week

need the sun to survive.Plants use sunlight to make food.While doing this,they give off oxygen.Animals and people eat plants and breathe in oxygen.They breathe out carbon dioxide.Plants use carbon dioxide,energy from sunlight,and water to make more food.People,animals,and plants are not the only things that depend on the sun.Earth s climate and temperature depend on the sun,too.The temperature of a place on Earth depends on the position of the sun.It is cooler in the morning,when the sun is lower in the sky.As the sun rises,it becomes hotter.Then it cools down as the sun sets.Places near the equator are hot because the sun shines almost directly overhead at noon.Places near the North Pole and South Pole are cold because the sun does not rise high in the sky there.Healthy trees and plants mean a healthier Earth.Format Weekly AssessmentUNIT1Florida Weekly Assessment Grade 4 Unit 1 Week 2 233A4WA_FL_U1_W2_RD09.indd Page 23 1/12/07 5:09:19 AM epg1A4WA_FL_U1_W2_RD09.indd Page 23

Every 365 days Earth makes a trip around the sun.For six months,the northern half of Earth faces the sun.This causes spring and summer in that part of the world.For six months,the northern half of Earth points away from the sun.This causes fall and winter in that part of the world.As you can see,the sun controls many things on Earth.It controls the food that we eat and the air that we breathe.Without the sun,nothing would be able to stay alive.Format Weekly AssessmentUNIT124 Florida Weekly Assessment Grade 4 Unit 1 Week 24A4WA_FL_U1_W2_RD09.indd Page 24 1/12/07 5:09:20 AM
