According to NASA, about 4.6% of the total mass in the universe is composed of atoms.

I'm not 100% certain that I believe that's literally true; I think it's an oversimplification and that when they say "atoms" they really mean "normal matter" including neutrinos and the like.

Still, it's the best answer I could find. We still don't know what the masses of neutrinos are, we just know that they're too small to measure and that they can't be precisely zero.

Is atoms is matter?

Presumably that refers to matter that is made up of atoms. Most matter in your everyday life is made up of atoms, but in our Universe, there is about 5 times as much matter that is NOT made up of atoms - the so-called dark matter.


How do you write a sentence with incaculable it?

Most people believe the number of atoms in the universe is incalculable because nobody knows how much matter is in it.


How much of the universe is matter?

The real question is how much of the universe's matter is this dick.


What is the universes most common matter?

According to current estimates, the mass in the Universe is made up of: * 68% dark energy. Not much is known yet about this type of substance. * 27% dark matter. Not much is known about this type of substance, either. * 5% regular matter - matter of known composition. Most of the regular matter is in the form of atoms; and most of it is in a state of matter known as a plasma.


What came first atom or humans?

Atoms existed long before humans. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter and have been present in the universe for billions of years. Humans, on the other hand, evolved much later in Earth's history.


What does the model of Democritus' look like?

Democritus proposed that all matter is comprised of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms that are constantly moving. He believed that atoms have different shapes and sizes, and that they combine and separate to create different substances. His model did not have any experimental evidence to support it at the time, but it laid the foundation for modern atomic theory.


What might much of the mass of the universe be composed of?

The universe is made mostly of dark matter and dark energy, and we don't know what either of them is.


How did the Universe get from the big bang to now?

The universe have been expanding since the big bang. After the first 200 seconds after the creation of the universe, the universe was the size of galaxy. Now how much the universe size is nobody can measure It is also said that a lot of matter and antimatter have been destroyed since then. In the first few moments of the universes creation, particles called quarks were formed. They soon fused to create the first atoms called hydrogen and helium. Larger atoms such as beryllium, oxygen and carbon were formed by the nuclear reactions inside stars. Even bigger atoms were formed due to the shock waves inside the stars such as tungsten or osmium. But all this took a lot of time to happen.


What is matter in the universe?

Dark matter is matter of an unknown type. It is known to exist, due to its gravitational influence, but it is not known what it is made of. There is at least 5 times as much dark matter than "normal" matter.


Is every thing in the universe made of atoms?

There are two types of energy potential energy is stored energy a example of potential energy is a tire at the top of a hill it has the potential to roll down the hill using the stored potential energy. kinetic energy is waves, electrons & atoms a example of knetic energy is a light bulb as you know a light doesnt just give off light it gives off heat aswell which are both radiant forms of knetic energy the further away from the sources the more spread out and weaker the effect is.


What is the universe mostly composed of?

In Theory; Approximately 73% dark energy, 23% dark matter, and 4% normal (baryonic) matter. As far as we can tell now, the universe is made of energy, some of which appears in the form of matter. Matter is composed of particles called atoms. Atoms form molecules; a molecule is the smallest part of a given material that still retains its chemical properties. Even atoms are composed of smaller particles like quarks and gluons. It appears that all particles are waves at the same time. Astronomers like to call all material made up of protons, neutrons and electrons "baryonic matter." Until about thirty years ago, astronomers thought that the universe was composed almost entirely of this "baryonic matter," ordinary atoms.


How much energy is present in the universe?

The total energy in the universe is not known precisely, but it is believed to be constant and is distributed in various forms such as matter, radiation, and dark energy.
