Space

Space refers to the vast, seemingly infinite expanse that exists beyond the Earth and its atmosphere. It encompasses all celestial bodies, including stars, planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and galaxies, as well as the empty regions between them. In a broader sense, space can also mean the three-dimensional extent in which objects and events occur and have relative position and direction. It is a fundamental concept in physics, particularly in the study of cosmology and astrophysics, where it is explored in relation to time, gravity, and the laws governing motion and energy. Space is characterized by its lack of matter and significant voids, although it contains a variety of forms of energy and radiation. The study of space leads to insights about the universe’s structure, origins, and dynamics.
