What is capsule?

A capsule is like a tiny, super strong box that can hold things inside it, and it’s really good at keeping them safe.

Imagine you have a favorite toy, and you want to keep it from getting broken. You put it in a capsule, which is like a special container made of hard material, kind of like the shell of a peanut. This capsule can be taken anywhere, even into space! It’s used by astronauts to carry important stuff with them on their journey.

How Capsules Work

Sometimes, people use capsules to carry medicine too, like when you take a pill that's shaped like a small capsule. It helps keep the medicine safe until it reaches your body. A capsule is like a tiny, super strong box that can hold things inside it, and it’s really good at keeping them safe.
