Light me up in backyard gatherings
The more you look at me The less you see.
I have green hair a round red head and a long thin white beard.
I reach for the sky, but clutch to the ground. Sometimes I leave, but I am always around. What am I?
I start with āeā end with āeā. I have whole countries inside me. What am I?
The warmer I am the fresher I am.
