This video tutorial explores what we can see in the sky during the day and night. It introduces the Sun as the closest star to Earth, visible in the daytime sky, and discusses how clouds and sometimes the moon can also be seen during the day. At night, the moon and countless stars, some forming constellations, are visible. The video explains how telescopes magnify distant objects, making it easier to observe the moon's features and stars. The lesson concludes with a review of the main points covered, emphasizing the Sun's brightness, the moon's changing appearance, and the role of telescopes in sky observation.
