How does the Andromeda galaxy compare with the milky way galaxy?
They are both spiral galaxies, except the Milky Way is a barred spiral and the Andromeda is a typical spiral galaxy. The Andromeda has at least twice as many stars as the Milky Way, and it has more mass. The galaxies are going to merge in 4 billion years, and now they are about 2 million light years apart.
The Milky Way galaxy is shaped like?
The Milky Way was long thought to be a "spiral" galaxy much like the Andromeda Galaxy . But recent observations indicate that the Milky Way is probably a "barred spiral" galaxy. Viewing the Milky Way from within as we do, it is somewhat difficult to get a clear picture.
How many stars in Mutter's Spiral?
There are estimated to be about 250 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, which is part of the Mutter's Spiral.
What type of galaxy is your system in?
Our solar system is located in the Milky Way galaxy, which is classified as a spiral galaxy. It is estimated to be about 100,000 light-years in diameter and contains billions of stars, including our sun.
The milky is an example of what?
Assuming that you are referring to the Milky Way, it is an example of a galaxy - and it happens to be the galaxy that we live in. Galaxies come in many shapes and sizes, but the Milky way is believed to a be a barred-spiral galaxy and has a supermassive black hole at it's core. It is also the only galaxy that is known to harbour life!!!
How many light years from the milky galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy?
The Milky Way galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy are approximately 2.5 million light-years apart. This makes Andromeda the closest spiral galaxy to our own Milky Way. Both galaxies are part of the Local Group of galaxies.
Is the solar system located in the center of the milky way galaxy?
No. Our solar system is about 2/3 of the way out one of the spiral arms of our galaxy, a LONG way from the center. Considering that the center of the galaxy (of many galaxies, actually) is probably occupied by a supermassive black hole, it's probably safer to be out that far.
Is Earth located in the center of the milky way galaxy?
yes.............
Which galaxy does the sun belong to?
These are the basics. Our sun is the star at the center of our solar system. A solar system is made up of a star and any other objects connected to it by its gravity. Our sun has the standard eight planets along with their moons, and also countless other objects including asteroids and comets. Our galaxy, The Milky Way, is estimated to contain between 200 billion and 400 billion stars. Some of those stars have planets orbiting them, and others do not. Our solar system then is just a very very tiny part of the Milky Way, and the Milky Way is one of billions of observable galaxies throughout space.
Can the Andromeda galaxy have more gravity than the milky way?
They are both spiral galaxies, except the Milky Way is a barred spiral and the Andromeda is a typical spiral galaxy. The Andromeda has at least twice as many stars as the Milky Way, and it has more mass. The galaxies are going to merge in 4 billion years, and now they are about 2 million light years apart.
What does Milky Way mean?
The section of the night sky where you view the milky way galaxy edge on. There are so many stars in this part of the night sky that it look like a path of spilled milk - therefore it is called the milky way., The Milky Way is the galaxy in which the solar system is located. It is a barred spiral galaxy that is part of the local group of galaxies. It is one of billions of galaxies in the observable universe.
