What else can I help you with?
What is happening to the distance between galaxies because of the big bang?
The distance is getting larger as the universe expands.
What is the distance between galixies?
millions of light years The typical distance between galaxies is only about 20-40 times the sizes of a galaxy.
Who classified the galaxies according to shape and distance and concluded that galaxies move away from each other at a rate dependent to the distance between them?
Edwin Hubble, in the 1920s. Later they named a telescope after him.
What is the significance of the distance between galaxies in understanding the vastness of the universe?
The distance between galaxies is significant in understanding the vastness of the universe because it shows the immense scale of the cosmos. The vast distances between galaxies highlight the sheer size and expanse of the universe, giving us a sense of how small and interconnected we are in the grand scheme of things.
Is your sun and other stars far away in another galaxy too far to feel a gravitational force between them?
Galaxies do exert significant gravitational attraction on other galaxies. For example, the Greater and the Lesser Magellanic Clouds are galaxies that orbit our own galaxy, the Milky Way. In that sense, the stars in one galaxy do have a gravitational interaction with those in other galaxies. Of course, the more distant galaxies have correspondingly less gravitational interaction with ours.
What is it when galaxies move away at a speed proportional to their distance?
This phenomenon is known as Hubble's Law, which describes the relationship between the distance and the velocity at which galaxies are moving away from us. It is a key piece of evidence for the expansion of the universe.
What is the distance between milky way and a group of galaxies know as the Virgo cluster?
That's at a distance of about 54 million light-years from us.
What type of measurement is used to measure the distance between the milky way galaxy and other galaxies?
lightyears
What is the relationship between the expanding universe and the distances between stars and galaxies?
This is mostly theory, Galaxies are made of billions of stars. For some reason Galaxy's hold on to their stars. We do not really understand how galaxy's can yet hold their form like this. Our math so far has trouble with making sense of this. When comparing one galaxy to another, size becomes so large words are hard to describe the distance of space. There is an an incredible amount of space between everything out there. What is the distance between galaxies, why is it there, The expanding universe is trying to explain the growing spaces between galaxies yet the galaxies appear to stay bound to themselves.
What unit is used to find the distance between 2 points?
Different units for measuring distance are: 1.for distances on earth miles , kilometer, meter 2. Between galaxies - light year.
What is between the galaxies?
There's nothing between the galaxies. It's just other galaxies that float around the universe.
What is the best evidence the universe is still expanding?
The redshift of distant galaxies, and the fact that the degree of redshift depends on the distance between us and those galaxies. What we observe can only be explained by Hubble Expansion.
