Hello aspirant,

Hope you are doing well,

Dark Matter is referred to the hypothetical matter that scientists have not been able to locate in the universe - either through telescopes or using any other technological method. 27% of the matter in the universe is said to be dark matter. Its existence came to the fore because of its gravitational effects on matters that are visible in the universe.

Invisible. Stars, nebulae, and galaxies are examples of luminous objects in the sky. The rest of the matter is cold and dark, hidden from people's direct view.

Hope this helps,

Best of luck

Hi Sujeet....

Dark matter is the term astronomers use to describe material in the universe that does not emit or reflect light and is, therefore, invisible. Stars, nebulae, and galaxies are examples of luminous objects in the sky. However, luminous matter appears to make up only a small fraction of all the matter in the universe, perhaps only up to 10 percent. The rest of the matter is cold and dark, hidden from people's direct view.

The principal way dark matter can be detected is by observing its gravitational effect on nearby objects. Although dark matter does not shine, it still exerts a gravitational force on the matter around it. Astronomers believe that dark matter is a "cosmic glue" holding together rapidly spinning galaxies and controlling the rate at which the universe expands.

Hope this helps......Thank U
