Imagine a star like a giant balloon, it’s full of hot, burning gas. When the star runs out of fuel, it can’t hold itself up anymore, so it collapses in on itself. If the star is big enough, this collapse makes something super dense and powerful, that's a black hole! It's like when you squeeze a balloon until it becomes tiny and heavy.
Examples

- A black hole is like a vacuum cleaner for light, it sucks everything in, even light itself.
