Solution

To determine: The reason why individual should care about organized universe and impact of galaxies on our daily living life.

Answer:

Individual should care about how the universe is organized as it tells about existence of humans in the universe, and galaxies can affect the movement of the solar system that can cause an impact on life.

Explanation:

The astronomer in early age considered that galaxy is a massive structure of the Universe. But later with the invention of the telescope, astronomer came to know that Universe comprises of different galaxies, stars and many more. These structures are arranged in an organised manner. The study believes that the Universe is approximately 14 billion years old, and an only small section is Universe is visible, which is known as observable Universe. Every individual should care about how the Universe is organised as it gives an idea about the existence of human beings in the Universe.

The arrangement of planets and galaxy in the Universe creates a significant impact on our life. Galaxies in the Universe can cause a change in the movement of planets in the solar system. If Earth does not rotate about its axis, then one side of the Earth will always be a day, and on the other side, there will always be night. If the planets and galaxies in the Universe keep on moving, then it could result in a collision of galaxies and planets.

Conclusion:

Therefore, individual should care about how the universe is organized as it tells about existence of humans in the universe, and galaxies can affect the movement of the solar system that can cause an impact on life.
