What is graviton?

A graviton is like a tiny helper that makes things pull together, just like when you hold on to your friend's hand while swinging on a swing set.

Imagine you and your friend are both holding onto the same rope. When you move, your friend moves too, even if you're not touching them directly. That’s how gravitons work: they carry the pull between things in space, like how gravity makes the Earth pull you down when you jump.

Think of a graviton as a little messenger that travels from one object to another. When something big, like the Sun, is near us, it sends out these tiny messengers, gravitons, and they tell everything else in space, “Hey, I’m here! Pull towards me!”

Even though we can’t see them, scientists believe gravitons are always at work, making sure planets stay in their paths and you can walk without floating off into the sky. They’re like the invisible helpers that keep our universe from going all wobbly!
