H~2~O ...so, 2 hydrogen atoms in one water molecule.
How many stars in the entire solar system ? Well, the answer is one πŸ˜‹

Can confirm. When I look up all I see is a single star and it hurts my eyes real bad when I look at it.

Hey guys, look at this big dumb dumb. He's never seen the moon before! There's obviously two stars in the sky

But the moon and the sun can't be in the sky at the same time. Otherwise it would be night time in the day!

Actually, if it's a new moon, they can.

So there's this giant floating orb in the sky and we're not supposed to look directly at it yet no one questions thisβ€½

I wish people would stop pretending like we live on a ball orbiting a star. We live on a disc, and Australia is on the tails side, and we each have a star, like a sexy flaming-ball-of-gas Sandwich..

It was a classroom smash.

You could argue that it's based on semantics, though. If you go by a different definition of star, more colloquially, planets like Venus and Mars are visible as "stars" in our solar system.
