vastness
Sheer endless expanse
Vastness is the quality of being vast—immense in size, extent, or scope.
It emphasizes scale beyond ordinary comprehension: the vastness of the ocean, the vastness of space.
The word often carries a sense of awe or insignificance in the face of something immeasurably large: Standing at the canyon's edge, she was struck by its vastness.
