Is the milky way a universe?
No. The Milky Way galaxy is just one of billions of galaxies in the Universe. Just like there are billions of planets in the Milky Way Galaxy, there are also comparable numbers of planets in other galaxies.
Are there more galaxies than the milky way galaxy?
Yes. The Milky Way is just one galaxy. There are billions of galaxies in the known universe.
What is past the milky way?
About 99.9999999% of the universe (or so). The Milky Way is a single galaxy in which our star, the Sun, exists. There are billions more galaxies like the Milky Way in the rest of the universe.
How galaxies such as the milky way make up the universe?
The question is essentially nonsense. The universe is the universe. It contains galaxies. There's no underlying "structure" to how the galaxies fit together, so it's more or less meaningless to talk about "how they make up the universe."
Are there more stars than people in the world?
Yes, far more. As of April 2016 Earth has a population of about 7.4 billion people. The Milky Way Galaxy, where we live, contains an estimated 200 billion stars. The Milky Way in turn is just one of an estimate 100 billion galaxies in the known universe.
Is a galaxy and a Milky Way the same thing?
No. The Milky Way is the name of one particular galaxy; the one we live in. There are many more galaxies in the universe.
Is the milky way the largest object in the universe?
No, The Milky Way is the galaxy in which Earth's sun is to be found and it is only the second largest galaxy in the local group - the neighboring Andromeda galaxy is larger. The largest galaxies that we know of are giant elliptical galaxies in the centers of clusters of galaxies. These galaxies are about 10 times more luminous than the Milky Way and Andromeda (which are spiral galaxies) and about 100 times more massive, with diameters of more than 6 million light years (compared to about 100 thousand light years for the Milky Way). The largest objects in the universe that we can recognize are galactic super clusters, which are large associations of galaxies that can extend over distances of more than 100 million light-years.
Is there in the universe stars that are bigger than the entire Milky Way?
Of course, there's more than one life form in this universe
Is the Milky Way the only solar system in the universe?
The Milky Way is a collection of stars, including our sun. Many other stars have planets orbiting around them. When at least one planet orbits a sun(s), it is a solar system. The are (likely) millions of solar systems in our galaxy alone. A galaxy is a collection of stars that orbit around a large mass, normally a black hole. And there are thousands more galaxies in the universe. So, no. We are not the only solar system.
What are things in space?
EVERYTHING galaxies, nebulae, stars, planets, milky way, star clusters, globular clusters and much more
Is the milkyway your only galaxy?
The Milky Way is not the only galaxy. There are more than a trillion times a trillion galaxies in the whole universe. Scientists have already discovered many tens of thousand galaxies.
What is a large group of stars?
A large star is almost any star compared to us. There is no definition for a large or huge star for exactly that reason. Taking the relative dimensions from the smallest to the largest star, then our Sun would probably fit that category.
