Speed is how fast or slow something is moving. We can compare objects to see which ones are faster or slower. A car moving quickly is faster than a person walking slowly. Understanding speed helps us describe motion and compare different things around us. It's all about how much distance is covered in a certain amount of time!
Think about a race: the person who covers the same distance in less time is faster! This concept applies to everything from animals to vehicles.
