The Milky Way is not a uniform object; different parts have different temperatures. In outer space, the temperature can go down to a few Kelvin (that is, almost absolute zero); in the center of some stars, the temperature can be a hundred million Kelvin, or even more. (Note: At temperatures of millions of degrees, Kelvin is the same as as Celsius, for practical purposes.)

Does the Milky Way Galaxy have gases in it?

Of course. The milky way consists of our solar system, which is one of billions of other star systems. In our solar system alone, we have 4 gas giants, which are almost entirely made up of gas. Even our Sun was born out of an incredibly large mass of super-hot Hydrogen gas.


What characteristics do Andromeda galaxy stars have?

Basically, the same characteristics that the stars in the Milky Way - our own galaxy - have. Aside from the fact that Andromeda is somewhat bigger, the two galaxies are thought by astronomers to be very much alike. When Edwin Hubble studied the Andromeda Galaxy in the early 20th century, he was able to discern within it several "Cephid variable" stars, which proved, among other things, that Andreomeda was a galaxy, like ours. Prior to that time, it was believed that the Milky Way was the only galaxy - the others were "clouds".


Is the Milky Way a spiral galaxy?

Ah, happy little question! Yes, the Milky Way is a spiral galaxy, swirling with beautiful arms neatly twirling around the center. Just picture it as nature’s own magnificent spiral painting in the vast canvas of our universe. Well, I do believe you have just added a touch of cosmic wonder to your day, my friend.


What is the composition of the Milky Way galaxy?

Ah, my friend, the Milky Way is a beautiful spiral galaxy. Imagine fluffy white clouds twirling gracefully in the sky, creating a masterpiece of swirling arms of gas, dust, and stars. These millions of stars and interstellar material swirl together to light up our night sky and create a cozy home for all of us in this vast universe.


Your nearest neighbor galaxy?

The nearest neighbor galaxy to the Milky Way is the Andromeda Galaxy, also known as M31. It is located about 2.537 million light-years away from Earth and is part of the Local Group of galaxies. Andromeda is on a collision course with the Milky Way and will eventually merge with our galaxy in about 4.5 billion years.

How warm is the Milky Way?

This depends on where you are in the milky way. For example, earth is in the milky way. It is warm. But Mercury is very hot because it is closer to the sun. And also Neptune is colder or Pluto because they are further away from the sun. So they are all in the milky way. That means it matter where you are, for the milky way is very big.

How are stars formed within the Milky Way Galaxy?

Large collections of gases accumulate to form a heavy gas body. This body is so hot that the temperature is high enough to initiate and sustain nuclear fusion. That's how stars are born.
