The infinite space never fails to amuse us, and the more you search on it, the more it unveils. Here are some amazing facts about space you need to know.

There is still so much we don't know about space, the celestial bodies, and the galaxy. Outer space is enormous. Our understanding of the cosmos is ever-evolving as scientists discover new facts about the universe, which contains billions of star clusters and galaxies as well as planets inside our own solar system. Nonetheless, there are several fascinating facts about space that we know now. We've put together some facts that we believe are really incredible, and we think you will too.

Outer Space Is Silent

As there is no channel for sound to travel through in space, so it is impossible to make any sound.

The temperature is rather high

In our solar system, the hottest planet reaches temperatures of 450 degrees Celsius. With an average temperature of 450 °C, Venus easily takes the title of the solar system's hottest planet. The nearest planet to the sun isn't Venus, in case you didn't know. As Mercury lacks an atmosphere (and hence a means of stabilizing its temperature), the planet experiences large temperature swings.

Costing $12,000,000, a NASA space suit is no little investment

The suit as whole costs $12 million, with the backpack and the control module accounting for $7.2 million. Yet, NASA's current space suits were manufactured in 1974. At today's prices, they would set you back around $150,000,000!

The Sun accounts for 99.86% of the mass of the solar system

The Sun's mass is around 330,000 years that of Earth, making up 99.86% of the total mass within our solar system. Are you aware that three-quarters of the Sun's mass is hydrogen and the remaining quarter is helium? Would the Sun's voice be loud and squeaky with all the helium in its composition?

The Sun has enough space for one million Earths

Around 1.3 million Earths (if squished) or 960,000 piles of the earth (if they preserved their spherical shape) might fit within the Sun. Can you even fathom how many Earths it would be?

Trees outnumber stars within Milky Way by a huge margin

Three trillion trees cover Earth, whereas between 100 and 400 billion stars make up the cosmos.

Mars sees a blue sunset

NASA claims that human viewers on Mars will see bluish sunsets, similar to how colors are heightened in sunsets on Earth. The typical red dust hue of the Red Planet is most noticeable during regular daylight, but the blue in the Sun's area of the sky is greatly enhanced by fine dust.

The number of stars present in the universe much exceeds the number of grains of sand on Earth

Science can only make educated guesses as to the total number of stars in the cosmos because it stretches well beyond our galaxy, The Milky Way. Yet, researchers believe there are around a septillion stars in the cosmos. Scientists from the University of Hawaii believe that there are between seven quintillion and five hundred quadrillion granules of sand on Earth, yet it is impossible to count them all. Whoa, that's one massive structure made of sand!
