Particles are lots of items emitted from mesh objects. In Blender, We can emit thousands of particles. There are two different types of particle systems you can find in Blender. They are,
- Emitter
- Hair

How to add a Particle System
- To add a new particle system to an object, go to the Particles tab of the Properties editor and click the small + button.
- An object can have many Particle Systems.
- Each particle system has separate settings attached to it. So they can be shared from one particle system to another. Because of that, you don't have to copy every setting manually.
