Mainly inside of galaxies.
The universe.
If there were no stars, the Universe would be devoid of the light, heat, and energy that stars provide. This would drastically alter the formation of galaxies, planets, and the conditions necessary for life to exist. The absence of stars would lead to a dark, cold, and lifeless Universe.
As of now (late 2013), over 700 planets have been found to exist in orbit around other stars, and more are constantly being discovered.
The vast expanse of the universe contains many objects and phenomena, such as stars, planets, galaxies, and dark matter. So, it is not accurate to say that nothing exists in the universe.
Yes; wherever in the universe there is mass like planets, stars of even meteors, there is gravity.
it is the study of the universe such as planets and stars
It is. It's called THE UNIVERSE. your question was already an answer.
Probably several tens to hundreds of millions of years following the Big bang. Afterwards, planets formed around stars and became a permanent feature of the Universe.
They "shape" the universe into being what it is. (Change any of them and we would no longer exist. Not just us, but the stars and planets would be gone.)
Because - our tiny planet is just one insignificant rock, in a sea of trillions of pieces of space 'debris' - consisting of planets, stars, solar systems, galaxies and nebulae that exist in the Universe !
Nothing...or dark matter.Only 0.03% of our universe are the stars,the planets,the galaxies...99.97% of the universe is nothing...
Without gravity, it is doubtful that the universe as we know it would exist at all. At the very least, galaxies, stars and planets would be unable to form. Worse still, without stars there would be no heavy elements and it is unlikely that life would exist.
