Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Ain Janna (Arabic: عين جنّا) is a village located in the Ajloun Governorate in the north-western part of Jordan. The name is Arabic for Spring of Paradise: Ain is a spring (of water), and Janna is Paradise. The name itself was given to the village due to the abundance of water springs and apparent availability of water in the village and its surroundings.[citation needed] As a matter of fact, Ain Janna still has some springs, causing its landscape to be green and crystal clear. It is about 70 km (43 mi) to the north of Amman, capital of Jordan. It lies on two juxtaposed mountains, and has a view over Ajlun's Castle and three towns. Average altitude of the village is about 1100 meters above sea level, causing most of the houses in the village to have a view reaching far beyond Jordan; one can easily see some mountains of Nablus in the West Bank (about 30 km /22 miles air distance).
