What is the value of pi in trigonometry?
pi is a universal constant. It is a transcendental number which is a special kind of irrational number. It cannot be expressed as a terminating or repeating decimal, nor as a ratio of integers or surds. There are various ways in which pi can be calculated and expressed. Commonly used approximations are 22/7, 3.14, 3.14159. Last year pi was calculated to 5 trillion digits although 40 digits are thought to be sufficient to calculate the angle subtended on earth by a hydrogen atom at the far end of the known universe!
A number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers?

What is a relatively huge number?
One of the largest is called Graham's Number, which has so many digits that it can only be expressed as "powers of powers of powers". The last ten digits of Graham's number are ...2464195387. But the observable universe is too small to contain a written representation of the whole number, even if the digits were of subatomic size. It is many orders of magnitude greater than the number of elementary particles in the known universe.

Until the 1500s the belief among scientist was that the earth was the center of the universe this is known of what theory?
This belief was known as the geocentric theory, which proposed that the Earth was the stationary center of the universe, with all celestial bodies revolving around it. This theory dominated scientific thought until the development of the heliocentric model by astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo in the 16th century.
What percentage of the universe is blocked from earth's view by the milkyway and other objects and galaxies?
Roughly about 20%-40% of the observable universe is blocked from Earth's view by the Milky Way and other objects including galaxies. This is because the Milky Way galaxy itself occupies a significant portion of our observable sky, obstructing our view of distant regions of the cosmos.
