A Union of a FINITE collection of closed sets is closed. But if it is an infinite collection?
Can someone provide an example please?

A closed set is a set that contains all its limit points, which means that every convergent sequence of elements in the set converges to an element within the set.
A finite closed set contains a limited number of elements, while an infinite closed set contains an unlimited number of elements. In other words, a finite closed set has a specific, defined size, while an infinite closed set does not.
Yes, an infinite closed set can contain a finite closed set. This is because a finite set is still considered closed, as it contains all its limit points, even if it is contained within a larger, infinite closed set.
Examples of finite closed sets include a single point, a line segment, a triangle, a rectangle, and a circle.
Examples of infinite closed sets include the set of all real numbers, the set of all integers, and the set of all rational numbers. Other examples include a closed interval on the real number line, a closed ball in n-dimensional Euclidean space, and a closed half-plane in the Cartesian plane.
