What are astronauts?

Astronauts are people who go on adventures high up in space, just like you might go to a park or a playground.

Imagine you have a toy car that can zoom around your house, but instead of your house, astronauts are in a special car called a spaceship. This car takes them way above the Earth, where there's no ground under their feet and the sky is black with shiny stars. It’s like going to a super-duper faraway place that you can only see from high up.

Astronauts are like superheroes who take trips in space. They wear special suits, kind of like warm-up clothes but for the whole body, so they don’t get cold or hurt when they float around inside their spaceship. Sometimes, they even go outside to walk in space, it’s like taking a walk on the moon!

They eat funny food that doesn’t spill, and they do fun experiments with floating water and balls. It's like going on a trip where everything is new and exciting!
