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 3 common galaxies?
galaxie 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
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
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.
How are elliptical galaxies different from spiral galaxy's?
An elliptical galaxy is round. A spiral galaxy is shaped like a spiral.
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
What are the classifications of of galaxies?
spiral elliptical and irregular.
What do you expect find in other galaxies?
spiral,elliptical,irregular galaxies
How are spiral and elliptical irregular and irregular galaxies alike?
They are ALL galaxies.
Are elliptical galaxies egg-shaped galaxies without spiral arms of interstellar gas and dust?
Yes, that is correct. Elliptical galaxies are characterized by their elliptical or egg-shaped appearance and lack spiral arms of interstellar gas and dust. Unlike spiral galaxies, which have a flattened disk shape with spiral arms, elliptical galaxies have a more rounded or elongated shape. They are composed mainly of older stars and contain little to no ongoing star formation. Elliptical galaxies also tend to have less interstellar gas and dust compared to spiral galaxies.
