Different geometries

In the three geometric scenarios, space-time might bend in on itself, be flat or bend outwards – and the angles of a triangle would either exceed, be equal to or be less than 180°

Closed Universe >180°

(positive curvature)

Flat Universe =180°

(zero curvature)

Open Universe <180°

(negative curvature)
