Geometry in Space Study and Astronomy
Space geometry is the study of the shapes and properties of objects in space, particularly in the context of astronomy. In particular, space geometry is concerned with the distances and angles between objects, as well as their shapes.
Astronomy is the scientific study of objects and phenomena in outer space, especially those that originate outside the Earth’s atmosphere. It includes the study of planets, moons, stars, comets, asteroids, and other objects and phenomena.
Geometry Symbols Chart
A geometry symbol chart is a diagram that shows the symbols and abbreviations used in geometry. It can be used to help translate between words and symbols, and to help identify geometric shapes. Some of the most common symbols used in geometry are shown in the chart below.

Let us have a Look at Some Symbols used are
∆
The Delta symbol is used in mathematics and physics. It is used to denote change, or a difference between two quantities.
For example, if you are solving a physics problem that involves displacement, you might see the equation ∆x = x2 – x1. This equation is telling you that the change in displacement (∆x) is equal to the difference between the final displacement (x2) and the initial displacement (x1).
Geometry in Domestic Activities and Household Objects
In the kitchen, a sink has a triangular basin. A stove has four burners in a square pattern. The oven is in the center of the stove. A refrigerator has a rectangular body with a triangular door.
In the living room, a couch has four legs in a square pattern. A coffee table has a rectangular top with four triangular legs. A bookshelf has a rectangular body with triangular shelves.
In the bedroom, a bed has a rectangular body with four triangular posts. A dresser has a rectangular top and six drawers, each with a triangular front.
