The Milky Way is not a uniform object; different parts have different temperatures. In outer space, the temperature can go down to a few Kelvin (that is, almost absolute zero); in the center of some stars, the temperature can be a hundred million Kelvin, or even more. (Note: At temperatures of millions of degrees, Kelvin is the same as as Celsius, for practical purposes.)

How warm is the Milky Way?

This depends on where you are in the milky way. For example, earth is in the milky way. It is warm. But Mercury is very hot because it is closer to the sun. And also Neptune is colder or Pluto because they are further away from the sun. So they are all in the milky way. That means it matter where you are, for the milky way is very big.


Does the Milky Way Galaxy have gases in it?

Of course. The milky way consists of our solar system, which is one of billions of other star systems. In our solar system alone, we have 4 gas giants, which are almost entirely made up of gas. Even our Sun was born out of an incredibly large mass of super-hot Hydrogen gas.


How are stars formed within the Milky Way Galaxy?

Large collections of gases accumulate to form a heavy gas body. This body is so hot that the temperature is high enough to initiate and sustain nuclear fusion. That's how stars are born.


Your nearest neighbor galaxy?

Is the sun the star nearest our solar system or the galaxy nearest to the milky way the closest to earth?

A long, long time ago, people liked to name things around them. For instance, what we call our moon might be given a name like, "Luna". Our earth might be given a name like, "Gaeia" (guy-uh), and the big, hot thing might be given a name like, "Sol". In fact, all of these are true. So, the big, hot thing used to be called, "Sol" by early scientists (philosophers). Hence, the system of planets, comets, and rocks that orbit "Sol" is called the Sol-ar system, or just solar system. As for 'Luna', maybe you have heard of the Luna-r or Lunar Lander. Or a Luna-tic or lunatic. We now call that big, hot thing, "Sun" which is the same object as "Sol", and it is indeed a medium-size star. Our Solar system is PART OF the Milky Way galaxy. We're way out on one of the 'arms' of the Milky Way galaxy, nowhere near its center.
