What are filled with stars? Think of them like tiny lights hiding inside a big, soft blanket, and that blanket is our sky.
Imagine you have a nightlight in your room. It makes the dark less scary by glowing softly. Now picture the whole sky having thousands of these little nightlights scattered all over it. Those are the stars, bright, faraway dots that make the night feel cozy and full of wonder.
Like a Sky Full of Tiny Lights
If you look up on a clear night, you might see the stars twinkling above you. They're like tiny bulbs in a giant ceiling, only much, much farther away. Some are bigger than our whole planet! But from here, they all seem small and shiny, just like the lights in your bedroom.
Sometimes, when there's no clouds or city lights to bother them, the stars look so bright you can almost count them, like counting your favorite toys before bedtime.
