Monday: What is shade?

Rocket and Raven sit under a big tree.

"It feels cooler here," Raven says.

Nova asks, "What is above you?"

Rocket looks up. "Leaves!"

Shade blocks sunlight

Leaves and branches block some sunlight.

Less sunlight reaches the ground below.

That darker, cooler spot is shade.

A wall or a roof makes shade too.
