What is a misty group of stars called?
A misty group of stars is referred to as a star cluster. Star clusters are groups of stars that are gravitationally bound together and can be classified as either open clusters (loose grouping of stars) or globular clusters (more densely packed grouping of stars).
When two stars are bound together gravitationally and orbit a common mass they're known as?
A binary star.
What is a group of stars that form when a lot of gases and dust come together?
A group of stars that form when a lot of gases and dust come together is called a star cluster. Star clusters can be either open clusters, which are loosely bound and contain young stars, or globular clusters, which are tightly bound and contain older stars.
What type of motion is it when an object travels around another?
When objects are bound gravitationally in centrifugal motion, the objects are said to be in orbit of each other.
Can the sun leave the Milky Way?
No, the sun is gravitationally bound to the Milky Way galaxy. Its orbit around the galactic center keeps it within the Milky Way.
What is an open cluster?
"An open cluster is a group of a few thousand stars that were formed in the same giant molecular cloud, and are still loosely gravitationally bound to each other.In contrast, globular clusters are very tightly bound by gravity.a large cloud of stars
A group of stars formed at the same time but their mutual gravity cannot hold them together is?
Probably "moving group". If they're still gravitationally bound, then "open cluster" is a better term.
What is a misty group of stars called?
A misty group of stars is referred to as a star cluster. Star clusters are groups of stars that are gravitationally bound together and can be classified as either open clusters (loose grouping of stars) or globular clusters (more densely packed grouping of stars).
Why is Milky Way included in the local group?
The "Local Group" refers to a group of nearby galaxies, that are gravitationally bound (much like a galaxy itself, a star cluster, or a solar system). This local group includes our own galaxy - the Milky Way - as well as several galaxies in a diameter of about 10 million light-years. The Milky Way is included because it is inside this group, and gravitationally bound by it.
What is a group of stars called and has 6 letters with the l as the 3 letter?
A group of stars is called a "cluster." It consists of stars that are gravitationally bound and often share a common origin. Clusters can be open or globular, depending on their characteristics and density.
What do all of the stars in a cluster have in common?
All stars in a cluster share a common origin, having formed from the same molecular cloud at approximately the same time. They typically have similar ages and chemical compositions, which results in them exhibiting comparable physical characteristics, such as temperature and luminosity. Additionally, they are gravitationally bound to each other, which influences their dynamics and interactions within the cluster.
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.
When two stars are bound together gravitationally and orbit a common mass they are know as?
A binary star.
What is the collective noun of galaxy?
The noun galaxy is a collective noun for a galaxy of planets or a galaxy of stars (both celestial and cinematic).
When two stars are bound together gravitationally and orbit a common mass they're known as?
A binary star.
What are stars that are found in pairs?
Two stars that are gravitationally bound to each other are sometimes called "binary stars".
What is a group of stars that form when a lot of gases and dust come together?
A group of stars that form when a lot of gases and dust come together is called a star cluster. Star clusters can be either open clusters, which are loosely bound and contain young stars, or globular clusters, which are tightly bound and contain older stars.
