Describe Earth in the Solar System(see below)?
Three Questions:
Describe the sizes, temperatures, and colors stars can be.
Describe how distances are measured between the Sun, stars and Earth.
Describe the source of light for the Moon, planets, and other bright objects in space.
That is a lot more information than can easily be typed in here.
Stars can be as small as half the mass of the sun up to about 150 times the mass of the sun, ranging in temperatures from 3000 K up to over 40,000 K.
Distances within the solar system are measured in AUs (the average distance of the Earth from the sun, around 150 million kilometers.
Distances between stars are measured in light years (about 9 trillion kilometers).
Distances within the galaxy and between nearby galaxies are often measured in parsecs (3.26 light years) or kiloparsecs (3260 light years).
Stars shine by light they produce in themselves. Astronomical objects that are not stars (planets, moons, asteroids, etc) shine by reflected sunlight.
You know, I’ll bet you could find all of this (and more) in your textbook or wikipedia.
