How do you use collisions in a sentence?
Billions of collisions have occurred in our galaxy.
Is the galaxy very crowded?
no everything in the galaxy is spread out evenly so there aren't any giant collisions that are going to happen hope this helps
Why is it important that the solar system is in a quiet part of the galaxy?
It is vital that the solar system is in a quiet part of the Milky Way because our odds of having collisions with other stars is extremely low...unlike the center of our galaxy.
Why the fact that the earth and the moon have different densities favors the collision theory of lunar formation?
It seems odd to postulate that the planets/moons in our galaxy were the result of collisions. If that were true, why have we not been witnessing recurring collisions-- with the creation of other new planets/moons?

Are there any individual stars in the space between galaxies?
Yes, there are. These generally come about when they are ejected from their host galaxy by the huge gravitational interaction involved in the collisions of galaxies.
Is the Andromeda galaxy going to collide with the Milky Way?
Wait about 2.5 billion years and you'll find out. Such collisions are relatively common - called an Intergalactic collision. The Andromeda Galaxy or M31 [See related link - Andromeda galaxy] is believed to have collided with at least one other galaxy in the past. It is possible, that our Solar System might be ejected from the new galaxy during the collision. Such an event would have no adverse effect on the system and chances of any sort of disturbance to the Sun or planets themselves are remote. [See related link - Milky Way Galaxy] Because of the vast "empty" space between stars, the two galaxies will more than likely merge into an Elliptical Galaxy [See related link - Elliptical galaxy] without any undue effect to the Sun or Earth. [See related link - Galactic collisions]
How do computers help astronomers understand what happens when galaxies collide?
By translating the math model of a galaxies and a galaxy collisions into a simulation. And theoritically observe the process by experimenting with the variables.
Explain how scientist know that elliptical galaxy do not contain many young stars?
Gas and dust were stripped away in collisions that also stripped away many young stars.
What does the word collisions mean?
Collisions means crashes.
Examples of where the three types of plate movements occur?
Continental- continental collisions, Continental-oceanic collisions,and Oceanic-oceanic collisions
What describes collisions in which there is no energy loss?
Elastic collisions do not lose energy.
