A black hole is like a super strong vacuum in space. It happens when a giant star runs out of fuel and collapses under its own weight, so much that it becomes extremely tiny and dense, pulling everything around it into itself.
What’s Inside a Black Hole?
Imagine squishing your whole house into the size of a marble, that’s how small and heavy a black hole can be. Nothing, not even light, can escape from it once it gets too close.
Examples
- A black hole could be like a giant vacuum that sucks everything into it, even your favorite toy if you're too close.
- If you were to shrink the Earth down to the size of a marble, it would have the same gravity as a black hole.
- Imagine dropping an apple from the top of a building, now imagine doing this in space with something much bigger and heavier.
