What is 6 feet apart?

6 feet apart means there is enough space between two people or things for them to stand comfortably without touching.

Imagine you're playing a game of tag in the park with your friend. If you're 6 feet apart, it's like you’re standing at opposite ends of a big rug, far enough that you can run toward each other, but not so close that you bump into one another right away.

Think about how many steps you take to walk from one end of your bedroom to the other. 6 feet is about two big steps, like when you're walking fast or running! So if two people are 6 feet apart, they could be standing in a line, each taking a step forward until they meet halfway.

If you give your friend a hug and then take a step back, that’s about how much space there is between them when they're 6 feet apart. It's not too close, just right for playing games or talking without getting too near!
