gleam/ɡliːm/, glow, sparkle /ˈspɑːrkl/, glisten/ˈɡlɪsn/, shimmer /'ʃɪmɚ/, glitter, twinkle, glint /ɡlɪnt/

These words all mean to produce or reflect light. 以上各词均含发光、反光之义。

-The sun was shining and the sky was blue.阳光灿烂，天空一片蓝。

【gleam】to shine with a clear bright or pale light, especially a reflected light 指闪烁、隐约闪光、微光反射：

-Moonlight gleamed on the water月光照在水面上泛起粼粼波光。

sparkle or glitter?用sparkle还是glitter?

There is very little difference in meaning between these two words. Glitter can sometimes suggest a lack of depth, but this is more frequent in the figurative use of glitter as a noun. 以上两词在意义上几乎没有差别。glitter有时暗指缺乏深度，但这较常在glitter作名

词时作比喻义时用：

-the superficial glitter of show business 表面上光彩迷人的演艺业

Sparkle is also often used to talk about light reflected off a surface, but things that produce light can also sparkle. * sparkle 亦常用以指物体表面反光，但物体发出亮光也可用 sparkle:

-Stars sparkled in the sky.星星在天空中闪烁。

【twinkle】to shine with a light that changes rapidly from bright to faint to bright again 指一明一暗地闪耀、闪烁：

1）Planets song for kids
I am the sun.

Life on earth depends on me.
I am the sun.

I am Mercury.
I’m the closest planet to the sun.
I’m a ball of iron.
I have no moons.
I am Mercury.

I am Venus.
I’m the same size as the Earth
but I spin the other way and much more slowly.
I have no water
I am Venus.

I am the Earth
the place, the where we all live.
There is land and lots of sea so I look blue.
I have a moon.
I am the Earth.

I am Mars.
I’m a rocky, red planet.
My mountains are the highest in our solar system.
I have 2 moons.
I am Mars.

I am Jupiter.
I’m a gas giant.
I’m the biggest and I spin the fastest.
I have the biggest moon.
I am Jupiter.

I am Saturn.
I’m a gas giant.
My rings are made of ice.
Titan is my biggest moon.
I am Saturn.

I am Uranus.
I’m an icy gas giant.
I’m the coldest planet in our solar system.
And I have rings made of dust.
I am Uranus.

I am Neptune.
I’m an icy gas giant.
I’m the farthest planet from the sun.
I have many storms.
I am Neptune. k: This is the sun. The sun is not a planet. It’s a Star. Because it can give us the heat and light.
p: what is the first planet
k: the first planet is mercury. It’s the smallest and closest to the sun. So I put it on the first orbit.

The planet after mercury is Venus. There are many volcanoes on the Venus. The Venus is covered with lava. So it’s hottest planet in the solar system. I put it on the second orbit.

Next to the Venus is the earth. There are land and ocean on the earth. And the earth is the place where animals and people live.

Next is the Mars. Mars is a red planet and it has red dust and red mountains.

The planet that comes after Mars is Jupiter. It’s the biggest planet in the solar system. And it has a red eye on it. That eye is a volcano. It looks a bit cloudy because it spins very fast.

It’s the Saturn time. It has many pretty rings . They are made of ice and rocks. Saturn is very very cold.

the next one is the Uranus. It also has rings. It’s a blue planet. It’s blue because it has ice on it. It’s very cold. It’s the coldest planet.

The last one is the Neptune. It’s blue. It also has ice on it. It’s the farthest planet to the sun.

The Pluto is also in the solar system, but it’s so small that we can’t call it planet. So now it was not the planet in the solar system.
