What else can I help you with?
What galaxy are the stars you see at night?
I think most of them are in the Milky Way galaxy, that's where our solar system is located.
Is there another solar system in the Milky Way?
i think so
Does the Milky Way orbit the sun?
No, the Sun is a part of the Milky Way. Our Solar System orbits around the center of the Milky Way. Our sun goes along with the general spin of the entire Milky Way galaxy, and is positioned rather near the edge. It doesn't orbit it in the sense I think you mean.
Why is the solar system also called the milky way?
We are smaller than a speck relative to the galaxy itself. Not every planetary system in the galaxy is oriented in the same way. The Milky Way appears as it does because of the inclination of earth's equatorial plane (celestial equator) to the galactic plane. We are near the galactic plane, but it would be stranger than strange if every planet in the galaxy had its equatorial plane or ecliptic right on the galactic plane.
Can the milky way kill you?
No. Not unless you meant Milky Way candy bars, in which case eating too many of them will make you fat and shorten your life. Although, actually, Earth is part of our solar system, and our solar system is part of the Milky Way galaxy, so if you step off a curb without looking both ways, yes, the car that hits you IS part of the Milky Way. But I don't think that was QUITE what you meant by that question.
In which galaxy is Planet Mars?
Mars is a planet, one of the planets of our solar system. Our solar system is part of the Milky Way galaxy. The Milky Way is currently believed to be a barred spiral galaxy (it's a little hard to be really sure exactly what it looks like, since we're inside it, and a lot of it we can't see because there are huge clouds of dust and gas in the way).
What is the shape of your galaxy and where is your solar system located within the galaxy?
The Milky Way galaxy is what's called a "barred spiral" galaxy; there are two "bars" of stars, and the spiral arms extend like a pinwheel from the bars. Scientists think it looks somewhat like NGC1300. The Sun and our solar system are, we think, somewhere about 1/3 to 1/2 of the way out from the center, although from inside the Milky Way, it is challenging to determine exactly where we are. This is probably a good distance to be, since we believe that there is a supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way. In about 4 billion years, our galaxy will collide with the Andromeda galaxy, and we can only speculate about the eventual shape of the merged galaxy. We expect that several billions of stars with their attendant solar systems (if any) will be flung off into intergalactic space by the gravitational interactions. Our Sun, which will probably have become a red giant star by that time, might be one of them.
What galaxy is the sun located in and what is its position in the galaxy?
its in the milky way i think
What are the key differences between the Milky Way galaxy and our solar system?
The Milky Way galaxy is a vast collection of billions of stars, planets, and other celestial objects, while our solar system is a smaller part of the Milky Way that includes the Sun, eight planets, and various moons and asteroids. The Milky Way is much larger in size and contains many more stars and planetary systems than our solar system. Additionally, the Milky Way is a spiral galaxy with a central bulge and spiral arms, while our solar system is a small part of one of the Milky Way's spiral arms.
What is the speed of the solar system as it orbits around the Milky Way galaxy?
Well, isn't that just a beautiful mystery of the universe? The solar system gracefully moves through space at an average speed of about 515,000 miles per hour as it orbits around the Milky Way galaxy. Just imagine all the happy little stars and planets dancing together in harmony, creating a wondrous celestial masterpiece for us to enjoy from down here on Earth.
What do you measure the Milky Way galaxy with?
sextillion i think
What item doesn't belong with planet galaxy sun moon?
"Galaxy", because all the others are in our Solar System. What about "exoplanets" outside our Solar System? Well, I don't think the question is meant to be that complicated.
