How Does the Sun Affect the Growth of Plants?

The Sun is like a super important friend for plants. It helps them make food using sunlight, which makes them grow bigger and stronger. When the Sun shines brightly on a plant, it gets more food and grows faster. If there's not much light, the plant doesn't get as much food and can be smaller or weaker.

How the Sun Helps Plants

Plants use something called photosynthesis, which is like a magical process that turns sunlight into energy they can eat. This energy helps them grow leaves, flowers, and even fruit.
