Galaxies are held together by gravity. So are Solar Systems. In the case of galaxies, and galaxy clusters, it isn't entirely clear what type of masses provide this gravity - the amount of known matter is simply too small, by a factor of 5-10. For more information, do some reading on "dark matter".

What is larger a larger solar system or Galaxy?

Galaxies are larger than solar systems. Galaxies contain solar systems.


How does gravity play a role in astronomy?

Gravity is the force that keeps galaxies and solar systems together.


Are solar systems in a galaxy?

Yes, solar systems are in galaxies. Our solar system is in the Milky Way galaxy.


Why do you need galaxies in the solar system?

Galaxies are vast systems of stars, planets, and other celestial bodies that contain our solar system. They provide the cosmic environment and gravitational forces necessary for the formation and stability of solar systems like ours. Without galaxies, solar systems like ours would not exist.


How many galaxies are there in solar system?

No, it's the other way round. There are millions of solar systems in galaxies.


What is in galaxies?

nebula, dust, solar systems and other solar masses


What are the cluster of galaxies?

The clusters are the solar systems that orbit the galaxy.


What force is partially responsible for the formation of the solar system the movement of an object in your solar system and holds together stars and galaxies?

Gravity is the force responsible for the formation of the solar system, the movement of objects within the solar system, and holding together stars and galaxies. It is a fundamental force of nature that acts over large distances and is essential for understanding the structure of the universe.


What is the relationship of planets and stars with solar system galaxies and the universe?

Most planets orbit stars forming stellar systems. Stars are not part of the solar system which is simply the stellar system for our star - otherwise known as the sun. Stellar systems together form galaxies and these form a part of the universe.


Does every galaxy has a solar system?

Not every galaxy has a solar system. Solar systems are specific to individual galaxies, such as our Milky Way galaxy, where planets orbit around a star like our Sun. There are galaxies that may not have stars that form solar systems due to different conditions present in those galaxies.


What force holds the diffrerent solar systems together?

Mutual attraction on macro scales such as stars, planets, and galaxies, is caused by gravity. Gravity can be better stated as the geometric shape on the macro scale of the universe, which is shaped and formed by the energy-momentum in the universe.


What are galaxy clusters about?

The galaxy clusters are the solar systems orbiting the galaxies.
