What is a tweet and what is Twitter

[Amelia]

I often hear about tweets and Twitter but don’t fully understand how they work. Can someone explain what a tweet is and how Twitter is used in simple terms?

A tweet is a short message posted on Twitter, usually limited to a set number of characters, where users share thoughts, news, or updates. Twitter is a social media platform that allows people to communicate publicly or privately, follow others, and stay updated on trends, events, and conversations happening worldwide in real time.
