Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:-

On a clear night you might see the Moon, some planets, and thousands of sparkling stars. You might see that many stars look larger than others. We may also see that some stars that look white are really red or blue .With bigger and bigger telescopes, you can see more and more objects in the sky. But scientists believe that there are some things in the sky that we will never see. That is because they are invisible. They are the mysterious dead stars called black holes. Our sun is a Star. Year after year we see it up in the sky, turning brightly, giving us heat and light. The sun certainly doesn’t seem to be getting old or weak. But stars do burn out and die after billion years. As a star’s gases burn, they give off light and heat. But when the gas runs out, the star stops burning and begins to die.
