Rust happens when water and air mix with metal. Imagine your bike is like a superhero who needs to stay strong, but if rain (water) and oxygen (air) team up, they weaken the metal over time. To stop this, we can paint it or cover it so the water and air can’t reach it.
Examples
- Your bike chain turns orange after a rainy ride.
- A nail left outside in the garden gets pitted over time.
- The toaster’s body starts to flake and turn reddish.
