Imagine you’re standing on a trampoline, and it’s super bouncy. Now imagine someone really heavy jumps in the middle, everything around them gets pulled toward that heavy person, like they're being sucked up! A black hole is kind of like that heavy person: its gravity pulls in anything nearby, including light, making it look like it eats everything.
Examples
- A dog falling into a black hole would get stretched like spaghetti before disappearing.
- A pizza falling into a black hole would be squished flat as it gets sucked in.
