Imagine a clock that counts down to the end of the world. That's the Doomsday Clock! People like scientists and leaders use it to show how close we are to something big, like a war or a disaster, happening on Earth. When the clock gets closer to midnight, it means things might get really bad soon.
Examples
- A little boy sees the clock ticking closer to midnight and feels scared.
- A teacher shows students the Doomsday Clock to explain why it’s important to take care of the planet.
- The clock moves forward, people around the world start discussing what that means.
