Black holes are like super strong vacuums in space. When something gets too close, it can’t escape because the hole’s gravity is so powerful, kind of like when you try to pull your toy out of a drain and it just disappears. The closer you get to a black hole, the stronger its pull becomes until nothing, not even light, can run away from it.
Examples
- Even light can’t escape from a black hole once it crosses the event horizon.
