What is low-density?

Low-density means something has few things spread out over a big space.

Imagine you're playing in a giant empty park, there are just a few other kids running around, and lots of grass and trees. That's like being in a low-density place.

Think about a balloon. When it’s not filled with air, it’s flat, that means it has low density, because the air inside is spread out over a big space. But when you blow it up, the air gets squeezed together and the balloon becomes round and full, now it's high density.

Imagine a room where only two people are sitting, that’s like low-density. Now picture that same room packed with 20 kids, that's high-density! The more people, or things, in the same space, the higher the density.

So, low-density means there are not many things in a big area, just like an empty park or a flat balloon.
