      Hey, chanel! The atoms are too small to be seen by us! But we believe that they are quite the same in space as they are on the Earth. They look like a small solar system, in fact: A more massive nucleus made of protons and neutrons in the center (like the sun), with infinitely smaller electrons orbiting around it (like planets)!
