                              Universe 

Unverse: The huge space which contains every things i.e.stars, planets ,satellite, meteorites,  comets etc.  that exist is called the universe .The width of universe is about 100000 light years.

Units of astronomical distance :  There are three widely used units to express the astronomical  distance :
i)Light year: The total distance covered by a ray  of light in the vacuum in one year is called light year .It is also called  big unit which is used to measure the distance in the universe.
Light year =c×t       (Where c = velocity of  light ,t= time taken)
=3×10⁸×60×60×24×365
=9460800 ×10⁸  =9.46×10⁷ ×10⁸m
Therefore ,One light year =9.46×10¹⁵m
ii)Astronomical unit : The distance between the earth and the sun is called astronomical unit .It is also called unit which is used to measure the distance in the solar system .
1 astronomical unit(A.U.)=1.5 ×10¹¹m or 1.5×10⁸km
Solar system: The family of the sun including all planets ,satellites , asteroids , meteors, comets , etc is called solar system .The diameter of solar system is about 10.5 light years .All the bodies in the solar system revolves around the sun. Our solar system lies in the milky way galaxy.

Planet: The heavenly bodies which revolves around the sun in their own orbit is called planet .They do not have their own light .There are 8 planets in our solar system.

Pluto (Dwarf planet): Due to following reason Pluto is not considered as a planet of solar system:
i)The size of Pluto is very small as compared to the average size of other planets.
ii)The  orbit of Pluto is coincided with the orbit of the Neptune .
Now days it is called dwarf planet .
Inner planet or terrestrial planet: The four nearest planet to the sun i.e. Mercury ,Venus ,earth, and Mars are called inner planet .Their structure is similar to the earth so called terrestrial planet . 
 
Outer planet: The satellites which are located outside the orbit of the mars i.e. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are called outer planet .Their structure is similar to that of the Jupiter .
Features :i)They are made up from gases.
ii)They have large number of natural satellite .
iii)They have ring system around them i.e. saturn.
 
Asteroid: The tiny planet which revolves around the sun in the space between orbit of mars and Jupiter are called asteroid or small planet or baby planet or minor planet or planetoids .

The diameter of largest asteroid i.e. ceres is about 800km and other small asteroid having diameter  is about 1.6 km to 3.2 km. For example: Ceres, Vesta, Juno, Erars, Pallas,Hygiea etc.
It help to give information about planet and sun .

Satellite: The heavenly bodies which revolves around the planet to their own orbit are called satellite .They are 2 types :
i)Natural satellite: The satellites occurring naturally are called natural satellites .For example :-Mercury and venue have not natural satellite
-Earth have one natural satellite i.e. moon.
ii)Artificial satellite: The man made satellites are called artificial satellites .The artificial satellites are kept at a geo-stationary orbit at a height of 369000km from the earth’s surface.IN SAT(Indian national satellite).

Comet: The heavenly bodies which revolving around the sun in very long elliptical orbit having bright head with long tail are called comet. It is made up from collection gases ,dust particles and ice . For examples:i) Halley comet ii) Temple- tutle iii)Enke iv)Schwasman Wasman  v)Bennett  vi)Shoemaker Levy = collied with Jupiter and collapsed in 1994  A.D.

Differences between Meteors and Meteorites :

Meteors	Meteorites
i-A small pieces of rocks or metal or both which burn and vaporize completely in the atmosphere due to friction between object and atmosphere are called Meteors or shooting star,or falling star. ii-It does not reach to the earth surface. iii-The mass of Meteor is less than that meteorites.	i-A huge piece of rocks or metal or both which does not burn and burn completely in atmosphere due to friction between object and atmosphere is called Meteorite. ii-It reach on the earth surface and form creator on the surface of earth. iii-The mass of Meteorite is more than that of meteor.

Types of Meteorites:  They are 3 types :
i-Stony Meteorite: They have more silicon than that of iron and Magnessium.
ii-Iron Meteorite :They have more iron than that of silicon.
iii-Stony iron meteorite: They have equal amount of iron and silicon.

iii)Irregular galaxy:They are irregular in shape and less bright than that of spiral galaxy.For example :NCG 6822,IC 559.
Importance of gravitational force in Universe:
1.Shaping the Cosmos: It help to shaping the cosmos because,Gravity controls  the motion of celestial bodies i.e. It keeps planets in orbit around stars, stars in orbit around galaxies, and galaxies in clusters. 
2.Formation of Celestial Bodies: Gravity pulls clouds of gas and dust together, condensing them until they become hot and dense and forming stars planets and other celestial bodies.
3. Giving Us Life: Gravity keeps us grounded and help us to walk, jump, and build our lives here. It's also responsible for Earth's atmosphere, which protects us from harmful radiation and helps regulate temperature. .
4.Cosmology and the Fate(Bhagya) of the Universe: Gravity plays a important role in the study of cosmology, that deals the study of origin, evolution, and fate of the universe. 
Cosmology:  The branch of science that deals the study of  the origin, structure, evolution, and overall properties of the universe is called Cosmology or universe Science .
 
Evolution of the universe according to Big Bang theory:
The Big Bang theory is a scientific explanation of Georges Lemaître, a Belgian cosmologist  for

how the universe began and how it has evolved over time. According to this theory, the universe originated from a hot and dense cosmic egg state around 13.8 billion years ago. Big bang theory can be explained by following facts:

1.The Beginning( Singularity):  At the very beginning, all matter, energy, space, and time were concentrated with in extremely hot and compressed  small space is called"cosmic egg." . It is also imagine as singularty.

2. The Inflation: Then, an event called the Big Bang occurred. due to this event, the universe began to expand and cool down, causing matter and energy to spread out. This period, called cosmic inflation.

3. Cooling and Formation:When the universe expanded, it also became less dense and cooler. After some time, protons, neutrons, and electrons formed, that leading to the formation of hydrogen and helium atoms.
 Over millions of years, these atoms began to come together due to gravity, forming stars and galaxies. Stars started to shine by undergoing nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium and release enormous amounts of energy.

The galaxies, including our own Milky Way, continued to move away from each other as the universe expanded. This expansion is still ongoing today.

4.Evidence:  We have strong evidence supporting it, like the cosmic microwave background radiation, the abundance of light elements in the universe, and the large-scale structure of the cosmos.
 
 Hobble’s study Regarding the Velocity of the Heavenly Bodies:
Edwin Hubble an American astronomer, observed that galaxies were not stationary but were moving away from us,  and the light emitted by galaxies, specifically focusing on a phenomenon called "redshift."  Hubble's law states that the recessional velocity of a galaxy is directly proportional to its distance from us.
Mathematically, it can be expressed as
v = H₀ d
where v is the recessional velocity, d is the distance to the galaxy, and H₀ is the Hubble constant.

The Hubble constant represents the rate at which the universe is expanding. It help to show the relationship between the recessional velocity and distance and allows scientists to estimate the age of the universe.
Future of the universe:
 There are some major  theories and possibilities  about the future of the universe:
1.Expansion and Dark Energy(विस्तार र अँध्यारो ऊर्जा:): According to this scenario(परिदृश्य),The universe is currently undergoing a period of accelerated expansion, driven by a mysterious force called dark energy. It is believed that this expansion will continue indefinitely, causing galaxies are separated from each other over vast timescales.
2.Heat Death: According to this scenario , Due the universe expands, the average temperature will decreases, so all stars will eventually burn out (Jalera nast hunu), and the universe will become a cold, dark, and lifeless place.
3.Big Crunch: According to this scenario ,If the amount of matter in the universe is large enough and the expansion is not counteracted(Jitna) by dark energy, then gravity could the stop the expansion, causing the universe to collapse in on itself. This would result in a dense and hot state, and leading to another Big Bang and the birth of a new universe.
.
Types of Universe :According to scientist there are 3 possible types of the universe :

1.Open Universe: According to this model of universe our universe is constantly expanding, by a mysterious force called dark energy, which counteracts(jitnu) the pull of gravity. The open universe model assumes that the overall density of the universe is too low to stop this expansion through gravity, and the universe will continue to stretch forever. 

2.Flat universe: According to this model of universe our universe expand indefinitely but at a decelerating rate due to the total density of matter, both the visible matter and dark matter, is balanced with the density of dark energy. The Flat universe model assumes that the total density of matter,  both visible matter and dark matter, is  balanced with the energy density of dark energy. This balance allows the universe to expand indefinitely but at a decelerating rate.

3.Closed universe: According to this model of universe our universe stop expanding and then collapse back in on itself in a "Big Crunch" Due to the overall density of the universe is too enough to  stop this expansion through gravity. The Closed universe model assumes that the overall density of the universe is too enough against density of dark energy that stop expanding and then collapse back in on itself in a "Big Crunch."

Analogue signal's amplitude (strength) is directly proportional to the value of the original information. i.e. Sound waves from a microphone. The devices of analogue signal are little complicated and hard to read accurately but more accurate than digital signal .

In an analogue signal, the information is encoded as varying voltage, current .Examples: human voice, music, temperature readings, and signals from various sensors such as microphones, thermometers, or pressure sensors. 

Analogue signals can be converted to digital signals through  Analogue-to-digital converter ADC. For example :Use of Temperature sensors. Analogue signals are used in various applications such as telecommunications, audio and video processing, control systems, Analogue watch(i.e. needle watch) and scientific measurements.

These signals are  transmitted as electrical pulses or light pulses through cables radio waves, microwaves, and infrared light . Examples: Sending text messages or emails over the internet ,Streaming music or video online, Downloading files, Making calls on a mobile phone, Transferring data between computers. There are 2 types of transmission of digitals signals:
i)Baseband transmission :The process of transmission of digitals through a communication channel without changing it into analogue signals is called Baseband transmission. This types of transmission covers short distance and a single cable can carry only one signal at a time. so It is used in local area network. It is bidirectional transmission .  For example transmission of data between two  computer by help of cable.
ii)Broadband transmission: The process of transmission of digitals through a communication channel by changing it into analogue signals is called Broadband transmission. This types of transmission covers long distance and a signal cable can carry multiple signals at a time so it is used in wide area network. It is unidirectional transmission . For example :Transmission data between different devices of internet .It is also called high speed of internet.
