Max’s dad came for a visit. He told us a lot about the sun. First he introduced himself. He said, “Hi, my name is Jon,” and we all said, “Good afternoon, Jon!”

He plugged in his computer to the Apple TV. He showed us some pictures of the sun. He said that the sun is one hundred earths across and four hundred earths around. One of the pictures showed us what the sun was like that day.

Then he showed us the life cycle of a star. First lots of gas comes together then it turns into a white dwarf. After it turns into a red giant and it explodes and starts all over again.

Then he showed us how far our nearest star would be. After he took us outside to look at the sun. The sun was amazing.

I liked having Max’s dad at school and I hope he will come again.
