Definition: The amount of space between two points, usually geographical points, usually (but not necessarily) measured along a straight line.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a peek, At the word “distance,” something we all seek! The dictionary gives us a helpful clue, “The amount of space between two points, it's true!” Think about a road, stretching far and wide, A measured gap, where cars can glide. It’s not just feeling faraway you see, But how much space exists for you and me! Geographical points, that's land and sea, Measured along a line – straight as can be! (Though sometimes curves exist, don't you know? A curved path still has distance to show!) So "distance" tells us how far things lie, Between two places beneath the sky. Do you have any questions, bright and keen? Let’s explore this word, a learning scene!
