Why is it difficult to specify the dimensions of the disk and halo of the Milky Way?

Because they lack sharp boundaries. They are not well defined objects.

Our solar system is located in the thin disk of the Milky Way.

The Milky Way is about 100,000 light years across.

Galactic disk

The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy in which we are in. Earth is located within the disk of the galaxy.

No. The Milky Wat Galaxy is roughly disk shaped with a central bugle and spiral arms.

No, there isn't. The milky way is the name given to the band of stars we see due to the flattened disk-like characteristic shape of our galaxy. We can call our galaxy the milky way galaxy.

The stars throughout the disk.

The milky way galaxy has 3 components.The disk containing the spiral arm,the halo,and the nucleus or central bulge

The ones in the bulge or halo are older star, the ones in the disk are younger.

The stellar disk of the Milky Way galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years in diameter and about 10,000 light years in thickness.

The most common element in the universe is hydrogen. This is also the most common element in the Milky Way.

It looks more like a gigantic disk, with a bulge in the middle.

The stellar disk of the Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 100,000 light-years (9×1017 km) (6×1017 mi) in diameter

The Sun is about 27,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way, roughly 2/3rds the way out from the center to the edge of the galactic disk.

The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy, so it slightly resembles a spiraled disk. Nevertheless, it is impossible to assign an exact shape to a dynamic celestial object.

The diameter is about 100 times as great as the thickness.

About 100 times greater than the thickness.

Most people refer to this as either the Milky Way or Galaxy. The Milky Way is where Earth and our Solar System are located. Aristotle, in his Meteorologica, suggested that the Milky Way may be made up of distant stars. Galileo provided proof that the Milky Way did consist of stars when he used his telescope. The Milky Way contains approximately a minimum of 100 billion stars and a maximum of 400 billion. Similar to…

You can faintly see edge-on the disk that is formed by the stars of our galaxy. You can also see approximately where the center of the galaxy is. Some features of the galaxy are difficult to see clearly because of the astounding amount of stuff that is in it. For example, the part of the sky that is directly behind the central portion of the Milky Way is completely hidden from us. Time lapse photography…

The Milky Way is a disk of stars with the sun near the center.

Through Milky way galaxy , most cosmic rays come from the Galaxy's disk.

You can save it to anywhere you want, like your hard disk or a USB key. You specify where you want to save it. If you don't specify, normally it will go to the My Documents folder.

Yes. The Milky Way is a Galaxy which contains many many many solar systems. The stellar disk of the Milky Way galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years in diameter, and is believed to be, on average, about 1,000 light years thick. It is estimated to contain at least 200 billion stars and possibly up to 400 billion stars, the exact figure depending on the number of very low-mass stars, which is highly uncertain. Extending beyond…

It wouldn't matter where the Sun was, the Milky Way Galaxy would still have a diameter of around 100,000 light years.

Most back conditions are risky and difficult to treat (outside of just using a back brace). Usually herniated disk is treated with some medication and rest and then physical therapy.

The disc (which bulges outward at the Galactic Center) is 70 thousand - 100 thousand light years

It does not look like a spiral because we are inside the disk that forms the spiral arms. To see the spiral, you have to be outside the galaxy, viewing the disk from above or below.

Yes. But keep in mind that the capacity of a floppy disk is very small. It would be difficult to fit a full-length song at a decent quality on a floppy disk.

Because it's within this area that most star formation takes place.

Earth's Sun is a star in the Milky Way galaxy, believed to be a spiral or barred spiral type of galaxy. The name "Milky Way" comes from the dense nighttime band of stars when looking up into the plane of the galactic disk. Earth is located in the Milky Way Galaxy. The Earth is located on the Orion arm of the galaxy. The Milky Way Galaxy is made out of roughly 200 billion stars.

The Milky Way is the home galaxy of the solar system.Its a barred spiral shape galaxy. It contains 100-400 billion stars and at least 50 billion planets.The stellar disk of the Milky Way galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years.The Milky Way is part of the local group of galaxies and is one of around 200 billion galaxies in the observable universe.

The Milky Way looks like a line, all right, but only because when you see it you are looking straight across its disk. Galaxies are usually flat, more or less circular, and often pinwheel shaped. The Milky Way is all of those things. Earth is located far out on one of the pinwheel arms.

The galaxy is covered in dust. A large but very faint layer of stars surrounds the disk and bulge. In addition to stars, the Milky Way contains clouds of gas and dust called nebulae.

Standard Dimensions are 3-1/2" x 3-11/16" which holds 1.44 MB

I think would try to specify "files". Or you search for the ending of the files (.doc, .iso, .txt) on the interblogz.

Our solar system is located roughly halfway between the center and the edge of the visible disk of the galaxy.

It would appear as a cloud of stars, just like the Milky Way.

The Milky Way is the galaxy containing the Earth seen as a luminous cloud of stars in the night sky. It is a disk-shaped structure about 100,000 light-years in diameter with the Earth about 25,000 light-years from the center believed to be the location of an enormous black hole.

Because this will cause them to warp and be difficult or impossible to read.

When you do a data export, or create a table, move a table, move a file, ftp a file, etc., you need to specify in the command where the data will go. This is the "destination" disk. This disk will be a named object. My disks are called: $D001 $D002 So, my create table statement would include the disk specification in the statement: create table $D001.VOLUMENAME.TABLENAME field specs table attributes;

The stellar disk of the Milky Way galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years in diameter, and is believed to be, on average, about 1,000 light years thick. It is estimated to contain at least 200 billion stars and possibly up to 400 billion stars, the exact figure depending on the number of very low mass stars, which is highly uncertain. Extending beyond the stellar disk is a much thicker disk of gas. Recent observations indicate…

The only time you should really specify ext2 is if you are either using a device that you need to minimize the number of writes to (such as a USB Flash drive), or you are creating a read-only file system, such as for an initial RAM disk.

Well if the sun were the size of a grapefruit we would not have anything in this solar system to compare it to, so lets make the sun the size of a grain of sand (2mm), the milky way would then be the size of our Sun, which is just over 109 the size of earth... however we are basing this off width, being that the Milky Way is disk shaped.

The stellar disk of the Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 100,000 light-years (9×1017 km) (6×1017 mi) in diameter, and is considered to be, on average, about 1,000 light-years (9×1015 km) thick. It is estimated to contain at least http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_diameter_of_the_milky_way_galaxy# billion stars and possibly up to 400 billion.

It is like a huge snow - white colored disk with billions of small lights hanging on it(stars) with a big round pulpy center.

There could be any number of issues: 1. If you have it connected via a floppy cable in your computer, you may need to change the settings in your BIOS to specify the type of floppy drive. Most will default to a 3.5" 1.44 MB drive. 2. The read / write heads may be dirty. 3. In this day and age, finding a "sane" (working, non-damaged) 5.25 floppy disk is very difficult. The disk you…

You're probably talking about a spiral galaxy such as the classic M31 in Andromeda. However, scientists now believe that the Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy.
