Sentences with phrase «space physics»

Space physics refers to the study of how objects and particles in space, such as planets, stars, and galaxies, interact with each other and with the environment around them. It explores topics like magnetic fields, radiation, and the movement of charged particles, helping us understand the physical properties and behavior of space and the objects within it.
