A black hole starts as a star that runs out of fuel and collapses in on itself. If it's big enough, it becomes so dense that not even light can escape, that’s why we call it a black hole. A star, on the other hand, shines because it burns fuel inside it. When the star dies, it might become a black hole or something else entirely. Think of it like a giant ball that suddenly gets squished into a tiny dot.
Examples
- A black hole is like a giant ball of candy that gets squished into a tiny dot and swallows everything around it.
- Stars are like fireflies that keep glowing until they run out of fuel, then they go out or become something else.
- If you had a star the size of your house, and it collapsed into a black hole, it would be so dense it could swallow Earth in one bite.
