A collection of fascinating facts about the universe.
Fact 1:
Planets are not spherical! Only planets with sufficient mass (like gas giants) can have nearly spherical shapes. Earth, Mars, and Venus are not perfect spheres.
Fact 2:
Solar System Size:
The solar system extends about 100,000 times further than our Sun. That's 100,000 times larger than the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy.
Fact 3:
Nebulae Are NOT Gas Clouds!
Nebulae are vast cloud of gas and dust, but they are not entirely composed of gas. They contain stars, planets, and even black holes in some cases.
Fact 4:
Dark Matter Exists But We Don't See It!
Dark matter makes up around 27% of the universe, yet we cannot directly observe it. Its presence is inferred through gravitational effects on visible matter.
