Black holes are like vacuum cleaners for light. Imagine a ball of super-dense stuff that pulls everything, even light! When light gets too close, it can't escape anymore, just like how you can’t pull something out of a vacuum cleaner once it’s sucked in.
Examples
- Imagine shining your flashlight toward a black hole, you'd never see it again!
- Light gets stuck in the event horizon, just like food gets stuck inside a vacuum cleaner.
