How fast does space junk fly?
by the no gravity in the milky way
What is the force that stops the sun escaping the milky way?
gravity
What keeps the sun from floating away from the galaxy?
Gravity. From the Milky Way in this case.
What force keeps the arms of the milky way spining around its center?
gravity
What links the solar system and the Milky Way?
Gravity. The Sun and our solar system are one tiny part of the Milky Way, and about as significant as a single grain of sand on a very long beach.
What is milky ways gravity compared to the earths gravity?
There are roughly 400 billion stars in the Milky Way. The average mass of each of these stars is about half that of our sun, which is about 300,000 times as massive as Earth. Multiplying these numbers gives us the mass of the galaxy compared to the mass of the earth: 150,000 x 400,000,000,000 = 60 trillion. So the gravitational pull of the galaxy is roughly 60 trillion times that of the earth.
Why is the milky way a spiral?
I am not sure but i believe it is because it spins rapidly because of the gravity in it's core.
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.
Why is there more gravity in the Andromeda galaxy compared to the milky way?
There isn't "more gravity" in the Andromeda galaxy, because that's essentially a meaningless phrase. It used to be believed that the Andromeda galaxy was larger and more massive than the Milky Way. It's still thought to be larger (in terms of the number of stars), but the Milky Way may actually be more massive. It's hard for scientists to tell how exactly how big the Milky Way is because we're inside it and "can't see the forest for the trees".
Milky way made of?
The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy that contains billions of stars, dust, and gas. It is held together by gravity and has a central bulge surrounded by a disk. Our solar system resides in one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way.
How does gravity effect earths motion?
All of the earth's motion is completely determined by gravity: the gravitational pull on the earth by the sun (and the larger outer planets), the gravitational pull of the Milky Way galaxy on the sun, the gravitational pull of our local cluster on the Milky Way galaxy and so on, up the ladder.
Why is the canis major dwarf galaxy colliding with the milky way galaxy?
The Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is not colliding with the Milky Way Galaxy. It is located about 25,000 light-years away from the Milky Way and is in a stable orbit around our galaxy. However, interactions between the two galaxies may be affecting each other gravitationally.
