What Is a Black Hole, Really?

A black hole is like a super strong vacuum in space. Imagine you drop a ball into a really deep pit, the more you push it, the stronger the pull gets. A black hole is so heavy that nothing, not even light, can escape once it goes in. It’s kind of like a cosmic sponge that sucks everything up and never lets go.
