What else can I help you with?
Is the sun bigger than a nebula?
No. A nebula is a billion, if not more, times larger than our Sun
What is the name of a group of 1000 stars?
Constellation or "asterism". The difference is that "constellations" are officially recognized by the International Astronomical Union, while an "asterism" is any other pattern or grouping of stars.
Is Andromeda galaxy bigger than a galaxy cluster?
A galaxy cluster consists of several galaxy groups, each of which in turn contains several galaxies. So no; a galaxy cluster is MUCH bigger than any individual galaxy.
Is Orion nebula bigger than the sun?
Yes, the Orion Nebula is much larger than the sun. The Orion Nebula is a diffuse nebula, while the sun is a star. The Orion Nebula is approximately 24 light-years across, while the sun is about 864,000 miles in diameter.
What is the oldest nebula?
Nebula are clouds of interstellar hydrogen and other gasses that span light years. Some may be dozens or hundreds of light years across. Galaxies were once referred to as nebula. These are vast collections of stars, often a hundred thousand light years in diameter (as is our own beloved Milky Way) or more.
What is bigger a galaxy or a gaseous nebula?
A Galaxy is far bigger than a nebula.
Is the sun bigger than a nebula?
No. A nebula is a billion, if not more, times larger than our Sun
True or false a quasar is a type of globular cluster?
False. A quasar is not a type of globular cluster. Quasars are extremely energetic and remote celestial objects powered by supermassive black holes, while globular clusters are tightly bound groups of stars that orbit galaxies.
What is the name of a group of 1000 stars?
Constellation or "asterism". The difference is that "constellations" are officially recognized by the International Astronomical Union, while an "asterism" is any other pattern or grouping of stars.
What is a cluster of tightly packed of older stars called?
A cluster of tightly packed older stars is called a globular cluster. These clusters can contain thousands to millions of stars, and are usually found in the outer regions of galaxies.
Does a star cluster have more stars than a open star cluster?
There are two types of star clusters. Globular clusters are tight groups of hundreds of thousands of very old stars which are gravitationally bound, while open clusters, are more loosely clustered, generally containing less than a few hundred stars, and are usually very young.
Is Andromeda galaxy bigger than a galaxy cluster?
A galaxy cluster consists of several galaxy groups, each of which in turn contains several galaxies. So no; a galaxy cluster is MUCH bigger than any individual galaxy.
Is Orion nebula bigger than the sun?
Yes, the Orion Nebula is much larger than the sun. The Orion Nebula is a diffuse nebula, while the sun is a star. The Orion Nebula is approximately 24 light-years across, while the sun is about 864,000 miles in diameter.
What is bigger than a galaxy cluster?
The visible universe. I'm a bit of a space buff and to my knowledge there aren't any celestial structures that are larger than a galaxy cluster. The only one I've come upon is the visible universe itself. I could be wrong about that but then again, I could be right. That tends to be how celestial questions like that one go. Hope this helps. Answer 2: Galaxy clusters are clusters of galaxies and therefore larger than individual galaxies. Superclusters are clusters of galaxy clusters and so are larger then galaxy clusters. Filaments are collections of superclusters and are the largest known structures in the universe.
Is the sloan great wall bigger than a galaxy cluster?
Yes. From Wikipedia: "...as of 2010, is the largest known structure in the Universe. ... The wall measures 1.37 billion light years (1.30×1025 m) in length..." This is much more than a galaxy cluster.
What are some things bigger than the earth?
The universe, the crab nebula, the milky way, our solar system, our sun, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus are all bigger than the earth
Which is the largest a nebula a galaxy a neutron star a globular star or a nebulae?
Galaxies are by far the largest. Galaxies contain millions to trillions of stars, each orbiting the galaxy's centre of mass. Our own Milky Way is an example of a galaxy, of which our sun is just one of 200 to 400 billion other stars. The Milky Way is estimated to be in the region of 100,000 to 120,000 light years across. Nebulae (the plural of nebula) are gas regions where stars are often formed. They exist within galaxies and are therefore much smaller. The famous Orion Nebula is estimated to be 24 light years across, while the larger Carina Nebula is in the region of 100 light years across. Both exist within the Milky Way. A globular star, or globular cluster, is a cluster of stars. There are around 150 to 158 such clusters known to exist in the Milky Way, with perhaps 20 more yet to be discovered. A neutron star is a stellar remnant, the result of a supernova (exploding star). They are much smaller than the original star would have been, but are incredibly dense and often rotate very rapidly, emitting electromagnetic radiation as pulsars.
