A black hole is like a super strong vacuum cleaner for stars. When a big star runs out of energy, it explodes in a big boom, called a supernova, and then collapses into a tiny, dense point. That point has such powerful gravity that not even light can escape from it.
Examples
- A black hole is like a giant vacuum cleaner that eats up everything around it, including light.
- Imagine your favorite candy bar shrinking down to a single grain of sugar but still having the same sweetness, that’s how dense a black hole can be.
- If Earth were turned into a black hole, it would fit inside a marble.
