Glide is like when you are on a slide at the playground. You start at the top and without really moving your legs, you smoothly go down to the bottom. It’s not like jumping or running, it’s more like you’re gently being carried by the air.
Think about a bird in the sky. When a bird glides, it spreads its wings wide and lets the wind carry it without flapping. It’s like the bird is floating on a big, invisible blanket of air. The bird doesn’t have to work hard; it just lets the wind do the work.
Imagine you are on a skateboard. When you push off and then stop moving your feet, you glide along the sidewalk. You’re not using any effort, but you’re still moving forward. It’s like the ground is helping you slide along smoothly.
Gliding can also be like when you’re on a swing. When you reach the highest point and start coming back down, you feel like you’re flying through the air, moving without any effort, just enjoying the ride.
