What takes up 99 percent space of the galaxy?

Space in the galaxy is primarily occupied by stars, gas, and dust. Stars, which emit light and heat, are the most prominent components, followed by interstellar gas and dust particles. These elements collectively make up about 99% of the space in a galaxy.


Are most stars in our galaxy found in the main sequence?

Yes, the majority of stars in our galaxy, including our Sun, are found in the main sequence stage of their life cycle. The main sequence is a phase where stars are fusing hydrogen into helium in their cores, which is the most common stage of stellar evolution.


Are there other planets Andromeda galaxy?

We expect the Andromeda galaxy to be just like our own Milky Way galaxy. We can see stars (suns) in the Andromeda Galaxy and just as stars have planets orbiting them in our galaxy, we believe that there must be planets also orbiting stars in the Andromeda galaxy.


What is a huge group of stars that form a spreading spiral?

A galaxy is a huge group of stars that form a spreading spiral. Our own Milky Way galaxy is an example of a spiral galaxy.


A group of stars gas and dust held together by gravity is a?

A group of stars, gas, and dust held together by gravity is known as a galaxy. Galaxies come in various shapes and sizes and can contain billions to trillions of stars. Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is a spiral galaxy containing around 100-400 billion stars. The gravitational forces within a galaxy keep its components bound together in a cohesive structure.

Where do the majority of stars exist?

Outside our (Milky Way) galaxy.


Can stars exist outside a galaxy?

Yes, stars can exist outside of a galaxy. These stars are typically referred to as intergalactic stars, and they may have been ejected from their original galaxy due to interactions with other stars or galactic dynamics. Intergalactic stars are typically found in the space between galaxies.


What is galaxy star?

I guess that would refer to a star that is part of a galaxy. That would apply to the vast majority of stars.


Are all visible stars in your galaxy?

No. The vast majority of stars in our galaxy are too far away to see, and many are hidden behind clouds fo gas and dust.


What are the majority of stars in the galaxy?

You can fill that out with lots of verbs, for example, "the majority of stars shine". Here are some others:* The majority of stars are smaller than our Sun. * The majority of stars are main-sequence stars. That means that they fuse hydrogen-1, converting it into helium-4.


Why are stars in your galaxy?

A galaxy is by a definition a group of stars. If there were no stars it could not be a galaxy.


At what galaxy are stars?

Every galaxy contains stars, if that's what you mean. "Galaxy" means "big bunch of stars". No stars ===> no galaxy.


Are all stars in the Milky Way galaxy?

No, the vast majority of stars are outside the Milky Way galaxy. However, most of the stars we can actually see as individual stars are in the Milky Way. About the only exception is supernovae ... those are so bright that we can distinguish them even in other galaxies.


Why do new stars form in the arms of a spiral galaxy and not in the central bulge?

Stars form in all parts of our galaxy - not just the "arms". Stars do indeed form in the central bulge. The vast majority of hot, young, blue stars are formed in the arms, but stars also form in the central bulge as well.


Which galaxy has no blue stars?

Elliptical Galaxy The Elliptical Galaxy has mostly old stars and blue stars are new stars.


What is the Milky Way galaxy used for?

It is the galaxy in which our Sun is an orbiting star, along with another 200 to 400 billion stars. Astronomically, the Milky Way, since it is seen edge-on, defines the galactic plane in which the majority of its stars orbit.


Why has your galaxy got stars?

If it didn't have stars it wouldn't be a galaxy
