Imagine you have a toy that you love to play with. When the toy is close, you can touch it, play with it, and see it clearly. But if you put the toy on a high shelf where you can’t reach, it becomes distant. You can still see it, but you can’t touch it or play with it anymore. It’s far away, and you need help to get it back.
Think about a friend who lives in another city. When they are nearby, you can play together, talk, and have fun. But if they move far away, they become distant. You can still talk to them on the phone, but you can’t see them or play with them as often. They are far away, and you miss them.
Imagine the stars in the sky. They are bright and twinkle at night. But they are very, very far away. They are so distant that even though they look small, they are actually big. They are so far that we can’t touch or visit them. They are like tiny lights in the sky that we can only see from far away.
