Black holes are like super strong vacuums in space. They pull everything, even light, into them, and light can’t escape because the gravity is too strong. Imagine trying to run away from a giant magnet that pulls you in no matter how fast you go. That’s what happens to light near a black hole.
Examples
- Imagine a ball falling into an invisible pit, but instead of a ball, it's light.
