You would only think that if you were talking about large amounts of sand on grain of sand is not a liquid however a-ton of sand doesn't hold any defined shape. Liquids don't have a defined shape but does have mass. Solids have mass and a defined shape. Gasses have no shape nor mass.


How are electrons measured in a atom organized?

Electrons are basically surrounding the nucleus (containing the protons and the neutrons), and are "swirling" around the nucleus, forming a cloud like shape around the nucleus.


Clouds are named by their shape and?

by where they form in the atmosphere and their shape- ombudsmanHoward noted that there are three basic shapes to clouds:heaps of separated cloud masses with flat bottoms and cauliflower tops, which he named cumulus (Latin for heap);layers of cloud much wider than they are thick, like a blanket or a mattress, which he named stratus (Latin for layer);wispy curls, like a child's hair, which he called cirrus (Latin for curl).To clouds generating precipitation, he gave the name nimbus (Latin for rain).Clouds are found in three layers in the lower atmosphere. Thus, with four types of clouds and three layers, we come up with 12 major cloud types that have evolved from Howard's pioneering work.Heaps:Cumulus familyFair weather cumulusSwelling cumulusCumulus congestusLayers: Stratus familyStratusaltostratuscirrostratusLayered HeapsstratocumulusaltocumuluscirrocumulusPrecipitating cloudscumulonimbuscirrusnimbostratus

What is the shape of the magellanic cloud?

The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is classed as an irregular galaxy and thus does not have any defined shape. It was once a barred spiral galaxy but has since been disrupted by the Milky Way. See related link for a pictorial so you can make your own mind up.


What type of galaxy is the Small magellanic cloud?

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is a satellite galaxy of our own Milky Way. It and the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) are visible from the southern hemisphere, and were named in honor of Ferdinand Magellan, whose crew sailing around the world were the first Europeans to see them.

Are there other galaxies in the Milky way?

No, the Milky Way does not contain "other" galaxies. The Milky Way is a galaxy unto itself. It has two small, irregular "sattelite" galaxies associated with it called the Large Magellanic and Small Magellanic Clouds, but they are not visible from the Northern Hemisphere in this epoch. The next nearest galaxy is Andromeda, which is about 2.5 million light years away. It is estimated that their are 100 billion galaxies in the known universe.

Are the clouds of magellan two elliptical galaxies orbiting the milky way galaxy?

Elliptical? No. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are "dwarf" galaxies of "irregular" shape. Scientists have long believed that the SMC and LMC are "orbiting" the Milky Way, but recent analysis has cast some doubt on that; they may not actually be "orbiting".


What is a Galaxy called that has a shape?

It depends what shape the galaxy has.
