Earth, Sun & Moon Patterns — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. bird
2. cloud
3. plane
4. dark
5. glow
6. dusk
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A white fluffy shape we see in the daytime sky is a cloud.
Clouds form when water drops gather in the sky and float together in the air.
2. Tiny points of light that sparkle in the night sky are called stars.
Stars are giant suns very far away, so they look like small dots at night.
3. A big silver or white shape we see at night is the moon.
The moon orbits Earth and reflects sunlight, so it glows in the dark night sky.
4. A plane flying high leaves a white line across the daytime sky.
Planes fly through the day sky and sometimes leave a long white trail behind them.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. We usually see fluffy clouds in the daytime sky.
True False
During the day, sunlight shows the clouds clearly, so we can watch them drift by.
2. Stars appear brightest in the middle of a sunny day.
True False
Sunlight is so strong that it makes the sky too bright for us to see stars.
3. The moon and some planets can be seen in the night sky.
True False
At night the sky is dark, so the moon and bright planets can shine through clearly.
