Are the 9 realms just planets? ›

The Nine Realms are nine individual planets that, while located separate parts of the universe, are systematically connected by the branches of Yggdrasil and orbit Midgard. The inhabitants of the realms are mostly associated with each other rather than the other advanced species residing beyond the realms.

Asgard, in Norse mythology, the dwelling place of the gods, comparable to the Greek Mount Olympus. Legend divided Asgard into 12 or more realms, including Valhalla, the home of Odin and the abode of heroes slain in earthly battle; Thrudheim, the realm of Thor; and Breidablik, the home of Balder.

In Norse mythology, the structure of the universe is organized into nine distinct realms that are interconnected by the ash tree Yggdrasil. The nine worlds were Asgard, Midgard, Jotunheim, Niflheim, Muscenters, Helheim, Alfheim, Svartalfheim, and Vanaheim.

In ancient Norse mythology and cosmology, Yggdrasil is an immense tree that sprang forth in the primordial void of Ginnungagap, unifying the 9 worlds of Asgard, Álfheimr/Ljósálfheimr, Niðavellir/Svartálfaheimr, Midgard (Earth), Jötunheimr/Útgarðr, Vanaheim, Niflheim, Muspelheim & Hel.

The various races of the Nine Realms refer to Earth as "Midgard," while those living beyond the realms call it "Terra." Earth orbits around a single sun and has only one permanent natural satellite, named Luna, though usually simply called the Moon.

Jotunheim/Utgard was considered beyond the realm of order, a primordial place of chaos, magic, and untamed wilderness. Loki, the trickster god of mischief, came from Jotunheim but lived in Asgard.

Along with her twin brother, Freya lived in the realm of Asgard to promote peace between Aesir and Vanir. Freya's own realm – Vanaheim, where Sessrumnir stood near the center of Folkvang has a home to most of the goddess petitioners and few einheriar warrior-spirits.

No, Asgard is not a real place, though it was considered to be real by the practitioners of the Norse religion and is also considered to be real by some Neo-Pagans today. Like Mount Olympus in Greek mythology, it is the home of the gods, but unlike Mount Olympus, it is not a real location on Earth.

Odin killed Ymir and in doing so created the nine realms that came to encompass the Norse cosmology.

Who is Odin's god? ›

Odin has many names and is the god of both war and death. Half of the warriors who die in battle are taken to his hall of Valhalla. He is the one-eyed All-Father, who sacrificed his eye in order to see everything that happens in the world.

In the Loki season 2 finale, Loki becomes a living embodiment of Yggdrasil. In Norse mythology, the tree holds all Nine Realms together, controlling all life and death. In the MCU, this is redefined to hold all of the multiverse, with Loki now at its center – making him the literal God of Time.

Odin eventually realized that a strong peace, not constant war, was the best way to ensure stability and order within the Nine Realms. To this end, he put an end to Asgard's expansionary campaigns.

In the series, it is confirmed that this tree is part of the throne that Loki was destined to reach and become the God of Time, the one in charge of the multiverse and one of the few who can stop a Kang the Conqueror, with a destiny that is not to unite the different realities, but to control everything, to channel ...

Fenrir, monstrous wolf of Norse mythology. He was the son of the demoniac god Loki and a giantess, Angerboda.

My interpretation of the 9 realms and the Yggdrasil tree is that all 9 realms are within the same solar system and a literal Massive tree called the world tree is in outer space and is actually touching each one of these 9 planets.

The four realms of the Earth: lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere do not interact with each other. Q.

The Nine Realms such as Asgard also count as dimensions and can be reached via wormholes or the Bifrost. On the other hand, universes are a much more complex concept that ventures past the logic of realms into something still being understood in the MCU.

The ten realms, sometimes referred to as the ten worlds, are part of the belief of some forms of Buddhism that there are 240 conditions of life which sentient beings are subject to, and which they experience from moment to moment.
