What is a "landing"?
A landing is a flat, horizontal area at the top or bottom of a staircase, serving as a transition space between different levels of a building. Landings provide a safe place to rest, change direction, or access additional rooms or hallways. They can vary in size, depending on the design of the staircase and the layout of the building. Landings are important for both safety and functionality, as they help prevent accidents by offering stability and support when moving between stairs. Additionally, they can be used as decorative features, incorporating design elements such as railings, flooring, or lighting to enhance the overall appearance of the space.

What is "landing"?
Landing, in general, refers to the process of bringing a moving object, such as a plane, spacecraft, or even a parachutist, safely to the ground. For aircraft, it involves a controlled descent, where the pilot adjusts speed, altitude, and the angle of the plane to touch down smoothly on the ground or a runway. It requires careful coordination of equipment like landing gear, flaps, and braking systems to prevent damage and ensure the safety of the landing. Once the object reaches the ground, it slows down or comes to a stop.
