BigQuery is Google's serverless, highly scalable data warehouse that allows for cost-effective analytics on massive datasets using SQL. It contains many public datasets from government agencies, scientific organizations, and companies that can be accessed for free up to 1 TB per month. These public datasets cover a wide range of topics and are hosted by Google Cloud and third parties. They can be explored through BigQuery's web interface, APIs, and linked to other Google products and services for analysis and visualization.
