A missile is like a super fast toy rocket. Imagine when you throw a paper airplane and it zooms across the room, but a missile is much faster and can travel very far. It has a special job to do, like going to a specific place, and it knows exactly where to go because it has a special brain inside called a guidance system. This brain helps it find its way, just like how you use a map to find your friend’s house.

Think of a missile as a superhero with a mission. It flies through the sky to reach its target. Some missiles are like delivery trucks, carrying important packages to faraway places. But instead of packages, they sometimes carry things that go boom, like fireworks. They are used by people to protect their countries or for other big jobs.

Missiles can be launched from the ground, like a rocket blasting off from a space station, or even from airplanes, like a bird dropping a seed. They’re built to be strong and fast, so they can reach their goals quickly and safely.
