What contain most of the heavier elements in the Milky Way population stars 1 or 2?
Population I stars
All the matter in space is contained in the?
milky way galaxy
Is the sun in the milky way galaxy?
The Sun, a couple of billion other stars are all contained in the Milky Way Galaxy.
What percentage of the mass of milky way galaxy is contained within stars?
A rough guess 99.9 %
Is Pluto a dwarf planet in the milky way galaxy?
Yes, Pluto is a dwarf planet in our solar system, and our solar system is contained within the Milky Way Galaxy.
Are all eight planets of our solar system in the milky way galaxy?
Our entire solar system is contained within the Milky Way Galaxy, so yes, all eight planets are in the Milky Way, as well as billions exoplanets.
Where are the Population One and Population Two stars located in the Milky Way Galaxy?
Population I stars (metal-rich stars) are common in the Milky Way's spiral arms; Population II stars are more common in the galactic halo.For more details, you may want to read the Wikipedia article on "Metallicity". Note that in astronomy, "metal" is an informal name for elements other than hydrogen and helium. This usage is quite different from the usage in chemistry.
Which are the oldest stars in the Milky Way population 1 or 2 stars?
Population II stars are the oldest in our Milky Way. Population III stars were the first stars in the Universe, but have yet to be discovered. See related question

What are population 1 stars?
Population I stars are relatively young stars that are found primarily in the spiral arms of galaxies, including the Milky Way. They are metal-rich, meaning they contain a higher abundance of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium, which is a result of stellar evolution and supernovae enriching the interstellar medium. These stars typically have a higher temperature and luminosity compared to older stars, and they often include main-sequence stars, giants, and supergiants. Their formation is closely associated with ongoing star formation and the presence of interstellar gas and dust.
Earth the sun and billions of stars are contained within what?
Earth, the Sun, and billions of stars are contained within the Milky Way galaxy, which is a vast collection of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter. The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy, and it is just one of billions of galaxies in the universe. It spans about 100,000 light-years in diameter and contains hundreds of billions of stars.
Over time the star-gas-star cycle leads the gas in the Milky Way to?
Over time, the star-gas-star cycle leads the gas in the Milky Way to become enriched with heavier elements, as stars produce and release these elements through nuclear fusion and supernova explosions. This process facilitates the formation of new stars from the recycled gas, creating a dynamic environment where stellar populations evolve and chemical composition changes. As a result, the Milky Way's gas becomes progressively enriched, influencing the types of stars and planetary systems that can form. Ultimately, this cycle plays a crucial role in the galaxy's evolution and the diversity of its stellar and planetary systems.
