Space debris refers to particles, objects suspended in the space. Space debris can also be called space garbage, Space junk or waste. There are millions of suspended debris in the space. Space debris particles are from dead satellites and other things like rocket which had been launched into the space for a very long time, those particles can be seen orbiting Earth.
Also, the presence of this debris in the space can lead to the destruction of any satellite being launched into the space, and when there is a collision between the satellite and the space debris, it results in the destruction of the satellite, and when this happens, it creates another thousands of space debris. A tiny bit of space debris can destroy a spacecraft. However, there are techniques which are being used to remove those pieces of debris from the space.
