Scientific phenomena named after people

Hello little one! Have you ever heard of things in science that are named after people? They're called "scientific phenomena" and they happen when something interesting or important is discovered or explained. Let me explain it to you like you're five!

When scientists discover something new, they get to name it after themselves or someone who helped them discover it. It's like giving a name to a pet or a toy. For example, do you know who Isaac Newton was? He was a really smart scientist who discovered things about gravity. He discovered that gravity is what makes things fall to the ground and stay there. So scientists named this the "Law of Gravity" after him!

Another example is the "Boyle's Law". Do you know who Robert Boyle was? He was a scientist who discovered something very important about air. He realized that when you push down on a gas, it gets squeezed into a smaller space. And he found that the more you squeeze the gas, the more pressure it creates. So scientists named this "Boyle's Law" after him.

So, when scientists discover something important or new, they get to name it after themselves or someone who discovered it with them. It's how we remember all the neat things we've learned!
