Light is made up of particles, which like all matter, can be affected by gravity.

Black holes are just big gravity spheres, which are so strong that even light can’t escape, so they look “black”. Just sucks in all the particles and holds them.

(some will argue about the nature of light, particles vs waves and such. don’t worry about it. This is ELI5)
