What type of motion is it when an object travels around another?
When objects are bound gravitationally in centrifugal motion, the objects are said to be in orbit of each other.
When two stars are bound together gravitationally and orbit a common mass they're known as?
A binary star.
What property determines whether an object is part of the solar system or outside the solar system?
If the object is gravitationally bound to the sun, it is part of the solar system. If not, not.
Do mars have any stars around then?
The planet Mars is gravitationally bound to the Sun. The Sun is the primary celestial body in our solar system. All the planets in the solar system (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) revolve around the Sun.
Where is the Hubble telescope located in the world?
The Hubble Space Telescope is gravitationally bound to the world but is nowhere in the world. It is orbiting the earth in a nearly circular path 240 miles above the surface, completing one revolution every 100 minutes or so. I don't know the inclination of its path to the equator.
What is an open cluster?
"An open cluster is a group of a few thousand stars that were formed in the same giant molecular cloud, and are still loosely gravitationally bound to each other.In contrast, globular clusters are very tightly bound by gravity.a large cloud of stars
A group of stars formed at the same time but their mutual gravity cannot hold them together is?
Probably "moving group". If they're still gravitationally bound, then "open cluster" is a better term.
Why do scientists measure distances to stars and observe how stars interact with one another to?
determine which stars are gravitationally bound to each other
What type of motion is it when an object travels around another?
When objects are bound gravitationally in centrifugal motion, the objects are said to be in orbit of each other.
Why is Milky Way included in the local group?
The "Local Group" refers to a group of nearby galaxies, that are gravitationally bound (much like a galaxy itself, a star cluster, or a solar system). This local group includes our own galaxy - the Milky Way - as well as several galaxies in a diameter of about 10 million light-years. The Milky Way is included because it is inside this group, and gravitationally bound by it.
True or false a quasar is a type of globular cluster?
No, a globular cluster is a gravitationally bound cluster of stars withing a galaxy. A quasar is formed from a supermassive black hole pulling in huge quantities of matter, superheating it and producing enormous quantities of energy far more efficiently than any star or group of stars.
How do planets remain intact in space?
They are so massive that they remain gravitationally bound to together.
When two stars are bound together gravitationally and orbit a common mass they are know as?
A binary star.
When two stars are bound together gravitationally and orbit a common mass they're known as?
A binary star.
What are stars that are found in pairs?
Two stars that are gravitationally bound to each other are sometimes called "binary stars".
What are stars in pairs called?
A binary star is a system of two stars gravitationally bound together that are constantly orbiting each other.
What is the name when two stars are bound together gravitationally and orbit a common center of gravity?
The stars are said to be a "gravitational binary pair"
