A website is a collection of connected pages on the internet that you can visit using a web browser like Chrome or Safari. When you type an address like www.nasa.gov into your browser, you're visiting NASA's website, where you can explore information about space missions, view photos from Mars rovers, and learn about astronauts.

Think of a website like a digital building with many rooms (pages). The front page, called the homepage, is like the entrance. From there, you can click links to visit different sections, just as you'd walk through doorways to different rooms. A school's website might have separate pages for news, lunch menus, the calendar, and teacher information.

Websites serve countless purposes. Wikipedia is a website for looking up information. YouTube is a website for watching videos. Your favorite game might have a website where players share strategies and compete on leaderboards. Libraries have websites where you can search for books and reserve them.

When someone says “check the website,” they mean go online and visit that particular collection of pages to find what you need.
