Rain and Sun

Today, I picked to compare and contrast rain and sun. First, I will tell you how this got into my mind.

For homework one week I had to compare and contrast any two things because in school I’m learning how to do paragraphs, so our writing in class wouldn’t be hard to read. It could have been fruits and veggies, but I picked rain and sun. The one reason is because on this Thursday it was raining and really storming. Now I’m going to start with my compare and contrast with rain and sun.

Let’s start by me taking you to the Country of Compare where we will learn how the sun and rain are alike. Both sun and rain are a type of weather that happens together with snow, tornados, hail and floods. (Tornados is one thing you never want to come across.)

Also, thing that’s the same about rain and sun is that sometimes they both cause something to happen like if we get to much sun then it could turn into a drought. Like how California is in a drought. Sun caused all that.

The last thing of how they are alike, sun and rain, is that they both help plants to grow. Rain gives plants water, and sun gives plants food. If there is too much of one thing, many plants will die.

Now let us move on to the Country of Contrast right next door. Here is where you’ll learn about how sun and rain are different.

One difference is that the Sun is a what everyone knows that it is……… a star. Easy like a pie! I wonder though what does rain come from? Did I hear from a cloud? Yes, I did. Rain comes from clouds because really clouds are made out of water, so all that needs to happen for it to rain is that many small or really any size of clouds come together to form a big cloud. Then the cloud gets very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very heavy, so suddenly, rain starts. That’s how rain forms.

Our second adventure will be to the City of Moving Things. Up on board! Brum, brum, beep, beep, beep, squeak, squeak, squeak……. stop.

Here we are in the City of Moving Things. We are here, because we are going to watch a video of why only rain moves and the sun doesn’t move. Let’s go! Rain moves because the clouds get moved by the wind blowing onto them. The sun on the other hand doesn’t move because when it was made the object the sun didn’t start to move when it exploded.

Now for our last trip, we will go to the City of Sun Bright, where we’ll see sun and how bright it is. We will also see rain too, and find out cool facts. For example, the age of the Sun is 4.6 billion years! The surface temperature of the sun is 5500 Celsius. Wow! The sun makes up around 99.86% of the Solar System’s mass. The Sun gives life to the Earth and the Earth would have no life at all without the energy it receives from the Sun. The Sun is only one of millions and millions and millions and millions and millions and millions and millions and millions of stars in the Galaxy.
Did you know that when it’s raining and the sun is shining rainbows appear.
