Detailed explanation-1: -Omniscient means “all-knowing, ” and likewise an omniscient narrator knows every character’s thoughts, feelings, and motivations even if that character doesn’t reveal any of those things to the other characters.
Detailed explanation-2: -The third person omniscient point of view is the most open and flexible POV available to writers. As the name implies, an omniscient narrator is all-seeing and all-knowing. While the narration outside of any one character, the narrator may occasionally access the consciousness of a few or many different characters.
Detailed explanation-3: -The narrator knows everything, and isn’t limited to the viewpoint of any single character. An omniscient narrator could be a character in the story (like a god or an enlightened person), or they could be an observing nonentity.
Detailed explanation-4: -In a story with a third-person point of view, the narrator refers to the characters by their names and uses third-person pronouns. The effect for the reader is that of someone watching the protagonist, main characters, or all characters, with varying knowledge.
