What are four general shapes of galaxies?
Galaxies have different shapes because of what happens throughout their lives. Any galaxy, at one point or another, will encounter another or many galaxies. When encounters occur, gravity takes over. The larger of the two galaxies will consume the smaller one, this is called galactic cannibalism. The act of absorbing another galaxy will change the size of the galaxy it's shape and even the speed of its rotation. Our own galaxy, The Milky Way, is as large it is (100000-150000 Light years across.) because of galactic cannibalism. The Milky Way is as we speak consuming two other small galaxy. And in about 2 billion years, our nearest nieghbor, the Andromeda Galaxy, will collide with our galaxy. Both the Milky Way and Adromeda galaxy are spiral galaxies, but after they collide the resulting new galaxy will an elliptical galaxy, which looks like a bright white sphere.
Which planets orbital shape is similar to Jupiter?
All planets in our solar system have elliptical orbits.
What planets have very similar shaped Orbits?
If you mean in our Solar System: All of them. All are elliptical, but all are very close to a circle.
How would the orbits differ if a star and planet were of similar mass to each other?
Two objects of the same mass will also move in elliptical orbits. Whether the two bodies are of the same mass or different, one focus of the elliptical orbit is the center of mass (barycenter).
Dose mars rotate left or right?
Mars rotates from the left to the right. Mars is approximately 48,700,000 miles from Earth and is similar to our planet in that is has an elliptical orbit.
Are all galaxies similar?
No. Some galaxies are shaped differently (irregular vs. spiral vs. elliptical), some spin in opposite directions, and some are bigger than others. However, they all contain stars and possibly solar systems.
How are the centers of many spiral galaxies similar to many elliptical galaxies?
Both have a huge black hole at their center.
How are galaxies classified based on their characteristics?
Galaxies are classified based on their shape, size, and structure. The main types of galaxies are spiral, elliptical, and irregular. Spiral galaxies have arms that spiral out from a central core, while elliptical galaxies are more rounded in shape. Irregular galaxies do not have a distinct shape. Additionally, galaxies can be classified based on their activity, such as active or passive galaxies.
How are spiral elliptical irregular the same?
Spiral, elliptical, and irregular galaxies are all classified types of galaxies based on their distinct shapes and structures. They are similar in that they all contain stars, gas, dust, and dark matter, contributing to their formation and evolution. Additionally, all three types can host star formation and may contain supermassive black holes at their centers. Despite their differences in morphology, they are all part of the same cosmic structure and contribute to our understanding of the universe.
What are the different names of galaxies in the universe?
Galaxies in the universe have different names based on their shape and structure. Some common types of galaxies include spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and irregular galaxies. Each type has its own unique characteristics and features.
A galaxy that has a shape similar to a football is a?
elliptical galaxy. These galaxies are often round or elongated in shape, resembling a football or an elongated sphere. They are composed mostly of old stars and lack the distinct spiral arms seen in spiral galaxies.

Are some irregular galaxies nearly 13 billion light-years from earth?
Yes, they are usually of a similar size range to other types of galaxies, from a few thousand lightyears across to a million or more. Their formation is often as a result of two or more galaxies colliding, or coming close to each other.
Are Irregular galaxies are very large.?
Yes, they are usually of a similar size range to other types of galaxies, from a few thousand lightyears across to a million or more. Their formation is often as a result of two or more galaxies colliding, or coming close to each other.
Explain how all galaxies are similar?
All galaxies are massive clusters of stars scattered across the universe. Many galaxies take the same form, for instance, spiral and elliptical galaxies. Some galaxies also have a black hole in their center.
How do the characteristics of elliptical galaxies differ from those of spiral galaxies?
Elliptical galaxies are generally round or oval in shape, with older stars and little to no gas and dust. They have less organized structure and lack spiral arms. Spiral galaxies, on the other hand, have a flat, disk-like shape with spiral arms, younger stars, and more gas and dust for ongoing star formation.
How do you think other galaxies might be similar or different from the Milky Way galaxy in terms of their structure and composition?
Other galaxies may be similar to the Milky Way in terms of having spiral arms, a central bulge, and a supermassive black hole at the center. However, they may differ in size, shape, and the types of stars and gas they contain. Some galaxies may have more or fewer arms, be elliptical in shape, or have different ratios of gas to stars. Overall, the structure and composition of other galaxies can vary widely from the Milky Way.
