We all know that our universe is immense.But just how immense it is?We will start with something close to home.When you see the image of our sun we could possibly see a white dot.Our entire world is barely perceptible next to fairly average star.The spectacular prominence flaring out from our sun is 49 times larger than Earth.Fortunately ,Earth is never this close to the sun if it were we would all need SPF 999,999 sunscreen!!!.The sun is our nearest star and it sustains our lives.But it is only one of so many,many stars.By now you might be asking what exactly is our universe?The definition physicists use is:Our universe is everything we could possibly observe by any conceivable means,or be influenced by in any conceivable way.

The diameter of our galaxy is 300000 times larger than the Spirograph Nebula,moving us left six more digits........1000003001001010009002m
And finally the diameter of our universe is 8000000 times larger than that of the Milky Way.Add 5 digits to our ruler........800001000003001001010009002m...."..
