Imagine you have a trampoline, and it's super stretchy. If you drop a really heavy ball in the middle, the trampoline bends so much that even light can't escape from near the ball, that’s like what happens with black holes. They’re so dense that nothing, not even light, can get out once it passes their edge.
Examples
- A black hole is like a giant vacuum cleaner in space that can suck up stars.
- If you jumped into a black hole, your body would stretch out like spaghetti before disappearing forever.
- Even light can’t escape from a black hole, it just gets pulled in and disappears.
