Explanation:

The fear of open spaces is called Agoraphobia.

Agoraphobia is a type of anxiety disorder that is characterized by a fear of being in places or situations where escape might be difficult or help wouldn't be available if things go wrong. This can include open spaces, public places, or crowded areas. People with agoraphobia may experience anxiety, panic, or even a full-blown phobia when they are in these situations. They may avoid these places altogether, or they may only be able to tolerate them in certain situations.
