Earth’s Star!

The sun provides the energy that supports life on Earth.

The Sun’s Effect on Earth. Energy from the sun heats Earth’s water

and land. Plants use the Sun’s energy to make

food. Some areas of the Earth’s surface are

heated by the Sun’s energy more than others.

The Sun’s energy powers the water cycle.
