Can infinity be small?

Infinity is not really a number, it is more of a concept and it is very large. When you want to talk about something very small, you can extend the concept to negative infinity.When we use infinity in math problems we say we are dealing with extended real numbers.Many people thing of infinity as something very very large and you can get quite close but never get there. Same idea for negative infinity. Think of walking on the number line in either the positive or negative direction. The ends of it represent infinity and negative infinity but the number line goes on forever in both directions. So you can never really get to the end.
