A black hole is like a super strong vacuum in space. When something really heavy, like a star, collapses into itself, it creates a black hole. The more matter it swallows, the bigger and stronger it gets. If you could fall into one, you’d be pulled in so fast, even light can’t escape, that’s why we call it black.
Examples
- If you dropped a bag of marbles into a black hole, it would be pulled in so fast, the marbles wouldn’t come back out.
- The biggest black holes are like superstars, they’re billions of times bigger than our Sun!
