A solution that contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute at a given temperature

Real World Example

Imagine trying to fit all your clothes into a single suitcase for a long vacation; there's only so much you can pack before the zipper refuses to close. This is similar to a saturated solution, where a liquid can only dissolve a certain amount of solute before it can't hold any more at a given temperature. Just like how your suitcase has a maximum capacity beyond which it won't close, a saturated solution has reached its limit of solute it can dissolve, and any extra will just remain undissolved, akin to the clothes that just won't fit in the suitcase.
