1405 - What scales are objects in the universe divided into?
Objects in the universe are usually divided into these scales:
- Atomic scale: tiny things like atoms and molecules, like the air we breathe.
- Human scale: objects we can see and touch, like cars, houses, and people.
- Terrestrial scale: the Earth, mountains, and big natural things.
- Planetary scale: planets and moons in our solar system.
- Stellar scale: stars, like our sun, and galaxies they are part of.
- Galactic scale: galaxies, like the Milky Way, and groups of galaxies.
- Cosmic scale: the whole universe, including everything in it.
These scales help us understand the huge differences in size between objects in the universe.
