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.
Is the Milky Way the biggest in the universe?
No. There are many much larger galaxies in the Universe than the Milky Way.
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.
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.
Is the solar system larger than a cluster of galaxies?
No, because our solar system is in the Milky Way GALAXY
Are there galaxies other than the Milky Way?
There are billions of galaxies in the Universe.
Which is larger galaxy or stars?
A larger galaxy can be 10 times brighter than the milky way.The larger galaxies in the universe are the giant elliptical galaxies.These are larger egg-shaped galaxies with trillion of stars.They can have diameter of 6 million light year across.
What other planets is bigger than the Milky Way?
There are no planets larger than the Milky Way galaxy. The Milky Way is a galaxy containing billions of stars, planets, and other celestial objects. It is much larger than any individual planet in our solar system.
Which is larger Milky Way or universe?
-- The Milky Way is one of several billion galaxies in the universe. -- The term 'universe' means "Everything ... all things, all space, and all time". -- Considering either of these factoids, it becomes apparent that the universe is larger than the Milky Way.
Are there more galaxies than the milky way galaxy?
Yes. The Milky Way is just one galaxy. There are billions of galaxies in the known universe.
Is Andromeda galaxy the biggest galaxy?
Although the Andromeda Galaxy is a bit larger than the Milky Way, and is large as spiral galaxies go, it is not the largest galaxy. There are larger spiral galaxies, and much, MUCH larger elliptical galaxies. However, because it is relatively close to the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy _appears_ quite large, spanning an apparent width roughly six times that of a full Moon. Still, there are two smaller, closer galaxies (the Magellanic Clouds) which appear larger still. (The Magellanic Clouds are not visible from northern latitudes, however, so one could argue that the Andromeda Galaxy is the biggest galaxy in _apparent size_ visible from most of the northern hemisphere.)
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.
