Is the milkyway galaxy largerthan most galaxies?
It is larger than the average galaxy, since the majority of galaxies are dwarf galaxies. However, there are still lots of galaxies that are larger than the Milky Way. For example, in our Local Group, the Andromeda Galaxy seems to be somewhat larger than our Milky Way.
Are there more galaxies than the milky way galaxy if so why do scientists need to study them?
yes, we are one of the trillions and trillions of galaxies!
Galaxies closest to the milky way?
The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, which are 2 small galaxies orbiting the Milky Way.The Andromeda Galaxy, which is slightly larger than the Milky Way.The Triangulum Galaxy, which is slightly smaller than the Milky Way.
In which galaxy is Earth and how many galaxies might there be?
The earth is in the Milky Way Galaxy. There are estimates now that there could be more galaxies than there are grains of sand. Hundreds of billions at least.
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.
Is Canis Major Dwarf galaxy bigger than Milkyway galaxy?
In general, dwarf galaxies are smaller than spiral galaxies like our Milky Way.
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.
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 Local Group bigger than the Milky Way?
The Milky Way is the galaxy in which our sun is located. The local group of stars is part of the Milky Way and therefore smaller than it is. The local Group of galaxies is a cluster of galaxies and therefore larger than the Milky Way.
How big is The Milky way compared to other galaxy's?
It's respectably sized, though not the largest one we know of.The Milky Way is the second-largest (and possibly the most massive) galaxy in the Local Cluster, but there are larger galaxies further away.
Is the solar system larger than a cluster of galaxies?
No, because our solar system is in the Milky Way GALAXY
Can the Andromeda galaxy have more gravity than the milky way?
They are both spiral galaxies, except the Milky Way is a barred spiral and the Andromeda is a typical spiral galaxy. The Andromeda has at least twice as many stars as the Milky Way, and it has more mass. The galaxies are going to merge in 4 billion years, and now they are about 2 million light years apart.
