The dust particles have exactly the same chemical composition as the gases of the interstellar medium?
false.
The interstellar medium is approximately 99 percent gas and 1 percent dust Why is it the dust and not the gas that blocks your visible-light view of the galactic center?
Gas is made up of individual molecules, and is therefore invisible. Dust is a composition of tiny particles of solid matter.
The interstellar medium is enriched with heavy elements by the remnants of what?
The interstellar medium is enriched with heavy elements by the remnants of supernovas. A supernova is the spectacular explosion at the end of a stars life when it collapses in on itself.
What is interstellar medium?
If you're referring to the space between solar systems: lots. Rocks and planetoids wander; radiation is absorbed and produced; space stretches; Von Neumann probes originating from long-extinct civilisations slowly make their way towards our solar system to convert it to rubble - you name it, it's bound to be out there somewhere.
What is interstellar matter made of?
The interstellar medium is an extremely sparse (tenuous) mix of gas and dust, some of the gas being ionized, some atomic, and some molecular. By composition the gas is largely hydrogen, with smaller amounts of helium and very small amounts of heavier elements. There are also cosmic rays which are protons and nuclei which have been accelerated to near-relativistic speeds. In cooler, high-density areas, the interstellar medium can become as dense as one ten-billionth that of air.
The dust particles have exactly the same chemical composition as the gases of the interstellar medium?
false.
What is a diffuse mass of interstellar dust and gas?
An interstellar cloud.
What is interstellar gas cloud?
An interstellar cloud made of gas, dust, and plasma in a galaxy.
What makes up the interstellar medium?
The interstellar medium is all the matter that exists between the stars in a galaxy. It mainly consists of gas (99%), with about 75% of this gas being in the form of molecular or atomic hydrogen, and about 25% in the form of helium. The other 1% is in the form of dust. The density of the interstellar medium is also very small: about 1 atom per cubic centimetre.There are two main types of interstellar mediums:Cold clouds of neutral atomic or molecular hydrogen, which are the raw materials wherein stars can be formed if it becomes gravitationally unstable and collapses.Hot ionized hydrogen near hot young stars.
Stars form from?
Interstellar gas and dust.
What is an interstellar cloud of gas or dust?
A nebula is what it is. :)
What is a large cold cloud of gas and dust in interstellar space?
These are generically referred to as, not surprisingly; 'interstellar clouds'
What is A cloud of interstellar gas or dust?
solar nebula
Does matter exist in outer space?
In astronomy, the interstellar medium [See Link] is the gas and dust that pervade interstellar space: the matter that exists between the stars within a galaxy. It fills interstellar space and blends smoothly into the surrounding intergalactic space. The energy that occupies the same volume, in the form of electromagnetic radiation, is the interstellar radiation field.The interstellar medium consists of an extremely dilute mixture of ions, atoms, molecules, larger dust grains, cosmic rays, and (galactic) magnetic fields.

What is the most abundant element in the interstellar medium?
Hydrogen
What is the name of Dark areas of gas and dust between the arms of a spiral galaxy?
