A black hole is like a super-strong vacuum cleaner in space. Imagine you're playing with marbles, and one marble starts to zoom around so fast that it creates a strong pull, everything nearby gets sucked in. A black hole is even stronger than that: it's made when a giant star collapses, creating an area where gravity is so strong, not even light can escape. That’s why we call it dark, you can’t see anything coming out of it!
Examples
- A black hole is so strong that even your favorite spaceship would get crushed by its gravity.
