Yes. Our own solar system is part of the Milky Way galaxy. Thousands of other systems with planets have been discovered in our galaxy. The number of planets in our galaxy alone prbably numbers in the billions.

∙ 13y agoYes, the galaxies are moving. The universe is expanding, and galaxies are moving away from each other. That doesn't mean that every single galaxy is moving away from every other galaxy, because some galaxies are gravitationally connected to some other galaxies; for example, the Magellanic Clouds are two galaxies which are in orbit around our own galaxy, the Milky Way. But clusters of galaxies are all moving away from each other. The universe expands in every direction, but we could also say that it is expanding outward.

∙ 9y agoSome move towards one another, others move away from one another. The general tendency is for galaxies to move away from one another - this is a result of the expansion of the Universe and also Dark Energy which is yet to be confirmed.

∙ 14y agoThis is not known right now. We know that galaxies appear to be grouped, and that all galaxies are moving relative to each other, but the precise nature of the motion and the long-term patterns is not yet known.
Sometimes galaxies collide with each other. The Milky Way galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy will collide in about 4 billion years or so.

What is A PERSon who studies planets and galaxys?
A person who studies planets and galaxies is called an astronomer. Is that the answer you were looking for?
Where do Stars Galaxies Nebulae and Planets fit in the grand scheme?
Galaxies/nebulae are at the top of the tree; each one contains several billion stars. Each star might have many planets orbiting around it, and planets can have many moons.
What force caused celestial bodies to orbit?
None, the universe came into existence in the Big Bang very slightly spinning and every part of the universe is spinning. When a cloud of matter collapses to form galaxies, stars, solar systems, planets, etc. the local rate of spin increases. This not only makes the bodies themselves spin but it makes planets orbit stars in solar systems, stars and solar systems orbit inside galaxies, galaxies orbiting clusters of galaxies, etc.
Do all galaxies have planets in?
Probably, but impossible to tell as we are only just seeing planets within our own galaxy.
Which heavently bodies form the universe?
Stars, Planets, nebulae, galaxies.
In what parts of the universe do stars and planets exist?
Mainly inside of galaxies.
What are in space?
inside space is planets galaxies moons and black holes
What are space?
inside space is planets galaxies moons and black holes
What is the inside of the universe?
my dick lol.inside the universe is the planets and stars and galaxies i think
What planets have galaxies?
None. Galaxies on the other hand do contain planets
Are distant galaxies inside the solar system?
No. Our solar system includes the sun and the planets that orbit it.
Are galaxies related to planets?
Galaxies are generally a collection of stars. But within any galaxy, there are lots of other objects, including planets. So galaxies are related to planets in some ways.
Are there other planets where you can live and other planets in galaxies?
yes we can live
Are there more planets or galaxies in your universe?
More planets. A typical galaxy probably has billions of planets.
Are comets asteroids stars or galaxies sometimes called minor planets?
Asteroids, some comets, and dwarf planets are classified as minor planets. Stars and galaxies are much larger than planets There are dwarf planets and these are Ceres Pluto and Eris.
Are stars planets from different galaxies?
Through intense research it has indicated that stars are not only luminous balls of plasma held by gravity, but are also planets from different galaxies. From a distance, they may seem like stars, but are in fact planets. So yes, you are correct, planets are stars from different galaxies.
What is the study of the planets galaxies and the universe?
Astronomy.
