  • Stars in the disk all orbit in the same direction and nearly the same plane, while halo stars have more randomly oriented orbits.
  • Clusters of young stars are found only in the disk.
  • Disk stars come in a broad range of masses and colors, while halo stars are mostly of low mass and red.
  • Gas and dust are abundant in the disk but not in the halo.
