## Remarks

Collision information is passed to [Collider.OnCollisionEnter(Collision)](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/collider/oncollisionenter.md), [Collider.OnCollisionStay(Collision)](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/collider/oncollisionstay.md) and [Collider.OnCollisionExit(Collision)](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/collider/oncollisionexit.md) events.

**Note**: The contact points are in world-space.
