A caption reads "TVO Kids presents."

An animation shows the solar system.

The theme song plays.

It says I LIVE ON EARTH I LOOK TO THE SKY SO MUCH WONDER FILLS MY MIND WE ARE SPACE KIDS SPACE KIDS.

A boy says THE SUN.

(music plays)

The sun sets over the ocean.

A girl says THE SUN. THE BIG BEAUTIFUL,
BURNING STAR IN THE SKY.

The boy says IT'S THE SOURCE OF OUR LIGHT.
EVERYTHING YOU SEE
DURING THE DAY
IS LIT UP BECAUSE OF THE SUN.

The girl says IT'S NOT ONLY BRIGHT,
IT'S HOT!

An animation shows a burning sun rotating.

The boy says THE SUN IS MOSTLY MADE UP OF
SUPER-HOT GASES CALLED PLASMA.
IF IT WASN'T FOR THE SUN,
EARTH WOULD BE FROZEN.
NO LIFE COULD SURVIVE HERE.

A blue emoji with clenched teeth pops up.

The girl says ON EARTH, THE TEMPERATURE
IS JUST RIGHT FOR LIFE.

The boy says BUT THE TEMPERATURE
OF THE SUN'S SURFACE
WATER BOILS
AT ABOUT 100 DEGREES,
SO THAT'S EXTREMELY HOT!
THAT'S BECAUSE THE SUN IS MOSTLY
MADE UP OF SUPER-HOT GASES
CALLED PLASMA.

An animation shows the process explained.

The girl says IT'S ALSO GIGANTIC.
IT'S THE BIGGEST OBJECT
IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.
IT'S SO HUGE THAT MORE
THAN ONE MILLION EARTHS
CAN FIT INSIDE IT.

The boy says WE KNOW THIS BECAUSE SCIENTISTS
HAVE BEEN STUDYING THE SUN
FOR A LONG TIME.
WE'VE EVEN SENT SPACESHIPS UP
TO GET A CLOSER LOOK.
AND THEY HAVE SENT BACK
SOME INCREDIBLE PICTURES...

The girl says THESE ARE SOLAR FLARES.
WHEN LARGE AMOUNTS OF ENERGY
ARE RELEASED
AT THE SURFACE OF THE SUN.
WOW!

The boy says DID YOU KNOW THAT EACH STAR,
INCLUDING OUR SUN,
HAS A LIFESPAN?
STARS ARE BORN,
AND SHINE FOR MILLIONS
OR EVEN BILLIONS OF YEARS
DEPENDING ON HOW BIG
THEY ARE.
AN AVERAGE-SIZED STARS
LIKE OUR SUN
CAN LIVE FOR TEN BILLION YEARS.

The girl says WOW!

The boy says RIGHT NOW, OUR SUN
IS ABOUT MIDDLE AGED.

The girl says GOODNIGHT SUN!

The end credits roll.

The song plays I'M ON MY WAY, ON MY WAY TO OUTER SPACE. WE ARE SPACE KIDS.
