were part of a galaxy?!! _____________________________ Yes, we are. It's part of the Earthling's Handbook; didn't you get a copy?
The majority of other galaxies are moving away from us. (One notable exception is the Andromeda Galaxy; our Milky Way will probably collide with Andromeda in about 4 billion years or so.) Curiously, the farther away from us a galaxy is, the faster it seems to be receding! The relationship is called "Hubble's Law" for the man who figured it out, Edwin Hubble. (The Hubble Space Telescope is named in his honor.)

∙ 12y agoOur galaxy isnt moving away from us. The earth is locked in an orbit path around the sun, and the sun is locked in an orbit path around the center of the milky way. Other galaxies orbit our galaxy we live in a cluster of galaxies called the local group or cluster. Other galaxies not bound to our gravity are moving away from us however due to the force of Dark Energy which is an energy that repels objects not bound by gravity.

∙ 13y agothe sped and distance are directly proportional. if the distance doubles so does the speed.

What is the general relationship between temperature and distance from the sun?
The closer you get to the sun the higher the temperature gets.
What is the general relationship between natural moons that orbit a given planet and its mass?
A natural moon is one that was formed at the same time as the parent planet. Its mass will always be less than the planet it orbits.
On what properties does the force of gravity between two objects depend?
The strength of a gravitational field at any given point is proportional to the planetary body's mass and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the center of the body.
What is the distance to earth from cancer?
If you mean the constellation cancer, there is no such thing as a "distance to a constellation". It just doesn't make sense. A constellation is basically a general direction in space.
What is the distance between Ursa Major and Earth?
Ursa Major or Great Bear is a star constellation. As such, one cannot think in terms of the distance to it because the stars that make up the constellation are not located in the same general area in space. Epsilon UMa, one of the stars that make up the constellation is also the closest at 64 light years.

What is leading kerning and tracking in typography?
Leading is the space between lines of type. Tracking refers to the distance between letters in general, while kerning refers to the spatial relationship between a set of two letters.
