In the Milky Way, the most abundant gas is hydrogen, accounting for about 75% of the galaxy's baryonic (normal) matter. This hydrogen exists primarily in atomic form, as well as in molecular clouds where it can form stars. Helium is the second most abundant gas, making up about 24% of the galaxy's mass. Together, these two elements dominate the composition of the interstellar medium in the Milky Way.
What else can I help you with?
In the milky way the most abundant gas in emission nebulae is?
The most abundant gas in emission nebulae in the Milky Way is hydrogen. Emission nebulae are commonly made up of ionized hydrogen gas that emits light as it recombines with electrons. This creates the vibrant pink and red colors often seen in these nebulae.
What is the third most abundant element in the Milky Way Galaxy?
The third most abundant element in the universe is Oxygen.
Why is the milky way similar to other galaxies?
For one thing, the Milky Way is a spiral galaxy, which is the most abundant type of galaxy.
Is the milky way a gas giant?
The Milky Way is a Galaxy, not a planet
What is one way that both atmospheres of venus and mars differ from earth's?
On both Venus and Mars, the most abundant gas in the atmosphere is carbon dioxide. On Earth nitrogen is the most abundant gas.
Is the Milky Way rocky or gas?
Neither. These terms apply to planets. The Milky Way is a galaxy, not a planet.
What does the milky way galaxy have in it?
Galaxies are made of, from most abundant to least: dark matter (still theoretical) hydrogen helium the structure of the milky way is made up of some 200 billion stars probably as many or more planets large clouds of gas and dust a super massive black hole at the galactic core and of course the planet earth and everything on it
How far are the planets from the Milky Way?
Most planets that have been discovered are in the Milky Way
Where are most asteroids in the Milky Way located?
Because that is where you get milky rocks
What Is thin gas and clusters of stars surrounds the disk of the milky way galaxy?
what is the thin gas and clusters of stars surrounds the disk of the Milky Way Galaxy.
How was the Milky Way created?
The Milky Way formed about 13.6 billion years ago from a huge cloud of gas and dust in space. As gravity pulled these materials together, they began to collapse and eventually formed the Milky Way galaxy that we see today. The Milky Way continues to evolve through the interactions of stars, gas, and dark matter within it.
Are there gas clouds in the Milky Way?
Yes, there are huge clouds of hydrogen gas, called nebulae.
