Imagine a lighthouse as a giant flashlight on the shore, shining really far out to sea. When it's dark and ships are far away, they can see this light and follow it like a path to safety. The light blinks or stays steady, telling the ship how close it is to the shore.
Examples
- A lighthouse is like a giant flashlight on the shore that helps ships know where to go when they can't see land.
- If you're sailing at night and you spot a blinking light in the distance, it's probably a lighthouse telling you how close you are to the coast.
- Imagine being lost in a forest at night and seeing a light that blinks every few seconds, it would guide you like a path through the dark.
