What are three types of galaxys?
The three different types of galaxies are the Spiral galaxy, the Elliptical galaxy, and the Irregular galaxy. Spiral galaxies are obviously in the shape of a spiral, elliptical galaxies are shaped as an ellipse, or a flat circle, and irregular galaxies can be any shape.
What are the 3 common galaxies?
galaxie 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
What are similarities between elliptical and spiral galaxies?
While spiral galaxies are bright, elliptical galaxies are dim. Spiral galaxies are hotbeds of star formation, but elliptical galaxies aren't nearly as prolific because they contain less gas and dust, which means fewer new (and brighter) stars are born
How are galaxies classifyed?
spiral galaxies (ours), irregular galaxies, and elliptical galaxies.
What are the different type of the galaxies?
Spiral, elliptical, lenticular, and irregular.
Are all galaxies the same size?
All galaxies are different sizes and mainly four different shapes,spiral,barred spiral,elliptical and irregular
What are the types or categories for galaxies?
Spiral galaxies, barred spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and irregular galaxies
The types of Galaxies?
Spiral,elliptical,and irregular galaxies
How are spiral galaxys alike barred spiral galaxys?
Barred galaxies per se do not exist. They are just a sub category of spiral galaxies of which about 2/3rds are barred spiral galaxies. A barred spiral galaxy has a central bar shaped structure composed of stars whereas a non barred spiral galaxy does not. See related link for a pictorial of the difference.
What are the 4 main galaxy shapes?
There are various ways of categorising galaxies, often based on Edwin Hubble's work on the shapes galaxies. Classifications often give the four main types of galaxies as: Spiral (including barred spiral), Elliptical, Lenticular and Irregular.
What are the types of galaxies What are their differences?
spiral, elliptical, and irregular. The only differences are shape. Elliptical galaxies are shaped like an ellipse, spiral galaxies like a spiral or pinwheel, and irregular don't have a uniform shape
Are Barred spiral galaxys common?
They make up approximately two thirds of all known spiral galaxies.
