Do galaxies all have the same shape?
Galaxies may have any of four general shapes. Elliptical galaxies show little or no structure and vary in general shape from moderately flat and round or oval to spherical. Spiral galaxies have a small, bright central region, or nucleus, and arms that come out of the nucleus and wind around, trailing off like a giant pinwheel. In barred spiral galaxies, the arms extend sideways in a short straight line before turning off into the spiral shape. Both kinds of spiral systems are flat. Irregular galaxies are usually rather small and do not have a symmetrical shape.
The majority of galaxies are which shape?
Spiral .
What are the types of galaxies What are their differences?
spiral, elliptical, and irregular. The only differences are shape. Elliptical galaxies are shaped like an ellipse, spiral galaxies like a spiral or pinwheel, and irregular don't have a uniform shape
What are three types of galaxys?
The three different types of galaxies are the Spiral galaxy, the Elliptical galaxy, and the Irregular galaxy. Spiral galaxies are obviously in the shape of a spiral, elliptical galaxies are shaped as an ellipse, or a flat circle, and irregular galaxies can be any shape.
What are the 3 common galaxies?
galaxie 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
Irregular galaxies are different from elliptical and spiral galaxies because?
Because irregular galaxies have no definite shape.
What are thetypes of galaxies?
the types of galaxies are barred, irreagular, spiral, and a shape like an hourglass.
What is the shape of the other GALAXIES?
I think they are also spherical as the earth
Do spiral galaxies have very bright centers and little gas and dust?
No. They have a spiral shape.,
Why some elliptical galaxies are lens shaped where as others are quite spherical?
Very lens-shaped elliptical galaxies have a high amount of reddish stars. Hence both their shape (the "spiral arms" have pulled inward over time) and the color of the stars implies they are very old galaxies. Spherical galaxies - I'm not up enough on that topic, so I will leave that part of the answer to another.
What is a galaxy that has a pinwheels shape?
A Spiral Galaxy or a Barred Spiral. These are two of the main types of Galaxies.
Compare and contrast the three types of galaxies?
Galaxies that appear to have a bulge in the middle and arms that spherical outward, like pinwheels, are spherical. Elliptical galaxies look like round or flattened balls. Galaxies that do not have regular shapes are known as irregular galaxies.
