Help your students describe the Sun as a star that gives Earth light and heat, explain that the Moon does not make its own light but reflects sunlight, and compare how objects in the sky look with the unaided eye and with a tool such as a telescope, with this 18-page EduMagnet Grade 2 science comic—print-ready US Letter landscape PDF.

Grade band: Grade 2 Earth and space science · The Sun as a star · Moonlight as reflected sunlight · Sky observations · Tools such as telescopes and binoculars · Safety when viewing the Sun
