Imagine your favorite toy is sitting on a shelf. When you stand close to it, you can touch it easily. But if you step back and back, until you’re across the room, the toy is now far from you. You can’t touch it without walking back to it. This is what ‘far’ means: when something is a long distance away from you.
Think about the sun in the sky. It looks small, like a shiny coin, but it’s actually very big and very far away. If it were closer, like your toy, it would look much bigger. So, when something looks small but we know it’s big, it might be because it’s far away.
Imagine if you were a bird flying high up in the sky. The ground below looks tiny and far away. Trees, houses, and roads look like toys. This is because you are so high up and far from the ground. Being far means there is a lot of space between you and something else.
When you hear your friend’s voice calling you from the other side of the playground, it sounds quieter than when they are right next to you. That’s because they are far away. The farther away something is, the harder it is to see or hear it clearly.
