X-rays are like special superhero glasses that let doctors see inside your body without opening it up. When you go to the doctor, they might use an X-ray machine to take a picture of your bones. These special glasses, or X-rays, can see through your skin and muscles, just like how you can see through a window to look outside. This helps doctors find out if you have a broken bone or if something else is wrong inside.
Imagine a flashlight that can shine through your hand. When the light shines through, it makes a shadow on the wall that shows the shape of your bones. X-rays work a bit like that flashlight, but they are invisible and can go through more things than regular light. The picture they create is like a shadow, showing the shapes of the bones or other parts inside you.
Think of it like a treasure map. The X-ray picture is a map that helps doctors find out what’s happening inside your body, like finding hidden treasure. The picture is black and white, and doctors are like detectives who read the map to understand where everything is and if it’s okay.
