🌌 Space & Universe – Complete Information
🌠 1. What is Space?
Space is the vast, seemingly infinite expanse that exists beyond Earth's atmosphere.
It begins at the Kármán Line (about 100 km above sea level).
In space, there is no air, no gravity as on Earth, and temperatures can be extremely hot or cold.
🌌 2. What is the Universe?
The Universe includes everything that exists: space, time, matter, energy, galaxies, stars, planets—even light and dark matter.
Scientists believe the universe was created approximately 13.8 billion years ago in an event called the Big Bang.
🌍 3. Key Components of the Universe
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Galaxies | Groups of billions of stars, gas, and dust (e.g., Milky Way) |
| Stars | Massive balls of burning gases (like our Sun) |
| Planets | Bodies orbiting stars (e.g., Earth, Mars) |
| Moons | Objects that orbit planets |
| Asteroids | Rocky objects, mostly in the Asteroid Belt |
| Comets | Ice + dust bodies with tails |
| Black Holes | Regions with such strong gravity that nothing escapes |
| Dark Matter | Invisible mass holding galaxies together |
| Dark Energy | Unknown force expanding the universe |
