By definition the question is incorrect. There are not only 2 galaxies in our universe, but billions. Each galaxy is a different size and is made up of millions or stars and planets. Our galaxy is called the Milky-Way, and our closest neighbouring galaxy is called the Andromeda galaxy.

Is there another solar system entering ours?

Technically, no, because our system is named for our star or sun, "Sol". Hence, Sol-ar or Solar system. The question becomes, "Is there another star system entering ours?". In general, the parts of the universe are all moving away from each other; however, there are a number of small galaxies that appear to be slowly (millions of years) moving toward our Milky Way galaxy. But, still 'No', there are no other star systems entering ours.


Is there another solar system far away from ours?

Yes, there are countless solar systems far away from ours in the vast universe. These distant solar systems may contain planets, stars, and other celestial bodies just like our own solar system. Scientists have discovered many exoplanets in these systems through various methods of detection.


Classified into different types elliptic spiral and barred spiral ours is the milky way?

The Milky Way is classified as a barred spiral galaxy. This means it has a central bar-shaped structure with spiral arms extending from it. The other type mentioned, elliptic spiral galaxies, have a more elliptical shape without distinct spiral arms.


In which direction are mostly all galaxies moving?

Actually, most galaxies are all moving away from all other galaxies, not just from ours. The exception is the Andromeda galaxy, with which the Milky Way is on a collision course.


How does the galaxy affect the earth?

Fairly averagely- it's a spiral galaxy of the larger sort, revolving slowly anticlockwise and of medium age as galaxies go. Our neighbouring galaxies are somewhat closer together in distance to each other than is usual, not exactly forming a cluster but making 'near neighbours' in galactic terms. There are many galaxies in the Universe that are far larger and older than our own Milky way, but also many others that are younger and smaller. Generally speaking, the younger galaxies tend to be in closer proximity to each other than older ones. What is really amazing, is that there are AT LEAST as many galaxies in the Universe as there are stars in our own galaxy- that's hundreds of millions!! Pretty cosmic stuff, eh?! The galaxies move farther and farther apart as time stretches across the empty void which is our universe.

How big is the nearest galaxy?

It is difficult to accurately measure the distances to other stars in our own galaxy, not to mention the distances to other galaxies. The Milky Way galaxy, of which our solar system is a tiny part, is a little bigger than the average, but not greatly so. The nearest other galaxies to ours are the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud, which are dwarf satellite galaxies of the Milky Way.

Are other star similar to sun?

Their is certainly stars in other galaxy's that are flammable and as large as ours. They're just trillions of miles away and impossible to see with the human eye. Scientists are able to theorize that another sun like ours can definitely help support life in other galaxy's.

Does earth has a larger or smaller moon than other planets?

Our Moon is generally rated at the large end of the scale.Most planetary moons (such as those around Mars) are smaller than ours. To find any moons bigger than ours, you generally have to go to Jupiter or Saturn, where you will find the biggest moons in the system like Ganymede, Callisto, and Titan.


What is the relationship between galaxy's distance from earth and the speed?

The farther away the galaxy is from ours the faster it moves from our galaxy.
