  2. List of Solar System objects by size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Solar_System...

    Parts-per-million chart of the relative mass distribution of the Solar System, each cubelet denoting 2 × 10 24 kg. This article includes a list of the most massive known objects of the Solar System and partial lists of smaller objects by observed mean radius. These lists can be sorted according to an object's radius and mass and, for the most ...

  3. Universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe

    Because humans cannot observe space beyond the edge of the observable universe, it is unknown whether the size of the universe in its totality is finite or infinite. [ 3 ] [ 56 ] [ 57 ] An estimate from 2011 suggests that if the cosmological principle holds, the whole universe must be more than 250 times larger than a Hubble sphere . [ 58 ]

  4. Observable universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observable_universe

    The observable universe is thus a sphere with a diameter of about 28.5 gigaparsecs [27] (93 billion light-years or 8.8 × 10 26 m). [28] Assuming that space is roughly flat (in the sense of being a Euclidean space), this size corresponds to a comoving volume of about 1.22 × 10 4 Gpc 3 (4.22 × 10 5 Gly 3 or 3.57 × 10 80 m 3). [29]

  5. Shape of the universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_of_the_universe

    An infinite universe (unbounded metric space) means that there are points arbitrarily far apart: for any distance d, there are points that are of a distance at least d apart. A finite universe is a bounded metric space, where there is some distance d such that all points are within distance d of each other.

  7. List of galaxies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_galaxies

    Size (left) and distance (right) of a few well-known galaxies put to scale. There are an estimated 100 billion galaxies in all of the observable universe. [1] On the order of 100,000 galaxies make up the Local Supercluster, and about 51 galaxies are in the Local Group (see list of nearest galaxies for a complete list).

  8. List of planet types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_planet_types

    A class of extrasolar planets whose characteristics are similar to Jupiter, but that have high surface temperatures because they orbit very close—between approximately 0.015 and 0.5 AU (2.2 × 10 ^ 6 and 74.8 × 10 ^ 6 km)—to their parent stars, whereas Jupiter orbits its parent star (the Sun) at 5.2 AU (780 × 10 ^ 6 km), causing low ...

  9. Astronomical object - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_object

    The universe can be viewed as having a hierarchical structure. [2] At the largest scales, the fundamental component of assembly is the galaxy. Galaxies are organized into groups and clusters, often within larger superclusters, that are strung along great filaments between nearly empty voids, forming a web that spans the observable universe.
