ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Evidence

Evidence is like the clues that people use to figure out what happened or to prove that something is true. It could be something you see, something you hear, something you touch, or something someone told you. People might use these clues to answer a question, or to prove something happened. For example, if someone wanted to prove that they ate breakfast, they might show a picture of them eating breakfast as evidence.
