Have you ever asked yourself how big is the universe?
Take a look at the series of photos below as it really puts everything into perspective about how tiny we actually are compared to the bigger picture.
Before we get started, here’s an interesting fact about planet Earth.
Earth’s water was initially trapped within the planet. Over time the Earth’s water was brought to the surface by the planet’s volcanic activity. So how big is the universe ? scroll through these images and find out.
