Question

How would you put the Universe to the Scale?

Answer 1

Hint:In order to this question, to know how we put the Universe to the scale, we will go through the whole concept of scale system and how we can put the Universe on it and we will also mention the types of scale on which we can put the Universe.

Complete answer:
Astronomers agree that the universe's true shape is that of a sphere, or a ball. On the surface of that ball, the entire cosmos exists. The issue is that no one knows where the many galaxies depicted above belong on that ball, making any representation of the real cosmos impossible.

Astronomy's most basic, and certainly most significant, gift is awareness of our true place in a vast universe. Awe at the expanse of creation, humility at the scope of human action, knowledge of the modest and precious character of the Earth among the cosmic nothingness, and even comfort at the scale of it all, which suggests writ large, are just a few of the benefits of this gift of perspective.

Brian Greene, a well-known string physicist at Columbia University, makes the following observation about a "string" in one of his books (a theoretical particle, loosely speaking, that all other matter may eventually be made up of - they'd theoretically be indivisible, i.e. the tiniest possible piece of matter). That's a minuscule amount.

By comparison, if you divide that very small slice into a billion more slices, then one of those slices into a billion more slices, and then one of those slices into ten million more slices, a string is the size of one of those (individual) ten million slices (again, this is all very rough).There are several types of scale on which we can put the Universe:-
Scale-1: Earth-Moon System
Scale 2: Earth-Sun System and Nearby Planets
Scale 3: Outer Solar System and Interstellar Space
Scale 4: Interstellar and Extragalactic Space
Scale 5: The Cosmic Snowstorm

Note: Universe-scale allows us to visualise and comprehend the relative sizes of all known objects in our universe. We can see the relative proportions of objects on a single scale and comprehend the sizes of things that would be impossible to compare side by side in real life.
