Flight
In short
Flight is the movement of an object through the air or the vacuum of space without touching a surface. It can be achieved through lift, buoyancy, or propulsion.
In plain words
It is when something moves through the sky or space. This can happen because of wings, hot air balloons, or powerful rocket engines.
A simple example
A bird flaps its wings to stay in the air, while a rocket uses fire to push itself into space.
Why it matters
Flight allows humans to travel long distances quickly and explore the universe. It also enables animals to find food and escape predators.
Easy to mix up
Do not confuse flight with falling, which is moving towards the ground due to gravity without any upward force.
