How does the Audi A2's electronic stability control work?

I am new to driving and I've heard about electronic stability control, but I'm not sure what it does and how it works. Can someone explain it to me in simple terms?

Electronic stability control, or ESC, is a safety feature in the Audi A2 that helps prevent the car from skidding or losing control on slippery or uneven roads. It uses sensors to monitor the car's speed, steering, and traction, and if it detects any loss of control, it applies brakes to individual wheels and adjusts engine power to help stabilize the car. It's a helpful feature especially for new drivers who are still building their driving skills.
