Cosmic Scale

The cosmic scale refers to the vastness of the universe, spanning billions of light-years. It involves understanding enormous distances, such as the space between galaxies, the size of galaxy clusters, and the universe itself. These scales help us grasp how massive and expansive the universe is, often beyond everyday experience. By studying this, scientists learn about the origins, evolution, and structure of everything we observe in the cosmos, providing context for our place in the universe.
