Detailed explanation-1: -To understand what a singularity is, imagine the force of gravity compressing you down into an infinitely tiny point, so that you occupy literally no volume.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Universe, at the earliest stages we can ascribe a “size” to it, could have been no smaller than roughly the size of a human being. This is a tremendous and recent improvement by about a factor of ten over a decade ago, when we would have said “no smaller than a soccer ball” instead.

Detailed explanation-3: -Black holes collapse to the point of singularity. This is a geometric point in space where the compression of mass is infinite density and zero volume. Space-time curves infinitely, gravity is infinite, and the laws of physics cease to function. There is also what is known as naked singularity.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: No, a singularity is not smaller than the Planck length. The Planck length is the smallest possible measurement that can be used to measure length. A singularity is also not part of space time, so it can’t be described in terms of length.
