Ok. So I think I need to relax the 'keep it simple' constraint, and explain myself more clearly.

The idea would be to answer as a first step, as an experienced amateur astronomer, as if these questions were asked by another amateur astronomer.
(I'm not sure we'd even get consensus on this part).

The second step would be to try and provide answers, as if a primary school aged kid, (ie: up to 12 y.o), had asked the questions.

My point here is to give an informative answer to a primary school aged kid, in language they'd understand, whilst conveying honest, accurate scientific answers.

These questions may seem like simple questions but the answers are not intuitive (if you ask me) .. just like the dark matter questions previously.

Cheers
