The Galilean Moons of Jupiter. The Large Moons of Saturn and Neptune. The Medium-Sized Jovian Moons. Planetary Rings. Properties of Space. Three Dimensionality:. If we consider any arbitrary point in space then maximum three perpendicular lines can be drawn from this point. These mutually perpendicular lines are called three axes of the coordinate system. Therefore position of an arbitrary point in space can be defined using three coordinates (x, y, z). So space is three dimensional.. Organic Contamination Control. Mark A. Sephton. 1. , S. usan.
