A stagnation point is a special spot where things like air or water stop moving completely. Think of it like a traffic jam, for example. When cars come to a stop at a red light, there's a spot where they're not moving at all called the "stagnation point". The same thing happens with air or water. When they move around an object, they create pressure and slow down, eventually stopping at a specific point. This point is called the stagnation point. Scientists and engineers use this concept to design things like airplanes and rockets, to make sure that the flow of air or fuel is just right so that they can travel efficiently and effectively.
