You're welcome.

Nature refers to the entire physical world that surrounds us, including plants, animals, mountains, rivers, weather, and so on. It's basically everything that exists outside of human-made things. Nature includes all living organisms and their environments, such as forests, oceans, deserts, and all the different habitats. It also includes things like the sky, the stars, and everything that occurs naturally without human intervention. We can observe nature by going outside, exploring different landscapes, studying animals and plants, or simply looking at the natural beauty around us.
