Nature is the set of systems, processes, things, events and phenomena that exist independently of humans. This is contrasted with products of human societies, cultures and technologies. On Planet Earth, nature is heavily influenced by humans such as the line between the natural and man-made is often grey. For example, the atmosphere has been contaminated with pollution from human sources. The following are illustrative examples of nature.

Chaos is the process by which small parts of a system can cause large changes to the system in the long term. This tends to make the future unpredictable.Entropy is the tendency for disorder to increase with time in an isolated system. This explains processes such as aging.
