EXPLAIN LIKE I'M 5-YEARS-OLD (ELI5) definition

In blockchain, a target number is like a special difficulty level for the computer to solve a puzzle. It's like trying to solve a really hard math problem, where the target number is the answer you're looking for. The computer has to work really hard to find the answer, and when it does, it can add a new block to the blockchain.

COMPREHENSIVE definition

In blockchain, the target number is a numerical value that determines the level of difficulty for miners to solve a block. The target number is part of the mining algorithm and is adjusted every few blocks to maintain a consistent block time. The lower the target number, the higher the difficulty level, and the more computational power needed to solve the block.
