Hey,  Rhea , space and time are relative as ,

According to theory of relativity by Albert Einstein

Space and time are intertwined and considered relative to each other, forming what is known as spacetime. This concept fundamentally altered our understanding of the universe by positing that space and time are not separate entities but are interconnected dimensions that depend on the observer’s frame of reference.

Space refers to the three-dimensional area  in which objects and events exist and move in x,y and z axis. Time, on the other hand, traditionally thought of as a linear progression, is perceived differently depending on an observer’s relative motion and gravitational field strength. According to Einstein’s theory of special relativity, time can dilate or contract, and space can stretch or compress depending on the relative speed between observers and the strength of gravitational fields they experience.

General relativity extends this concept by describing how mass and energy curve spacetime, affecting the paths of objects and the flow of time itself. This curvature explains phenomena like gravitational lensing and the gravitational redshift, where light bends and changes frequency as it travels through curved spacetime near massive objects.

Conclusion:

The theory of relativity demonstrates that space and time are not absolute but rather intertwined dimensions that together form the fabric of the universe. This understanding has profound implications for our comprehension of cosmology, the behavior of objects in extreme gravitational fields, and the nature of time itself, challenging classical notions and providing a unified framework to describe the universe on both large and small scales.
