Galaxies can be classified into three main sizes: dwarf galaxies, which are small and contain less than a few billion stars; Milky Way-sized galaxies, which are intermediate in size and contain a few hundred billion stars; and giant galaxies, which are massive and can contain trillions of stars.

Three quarters of all known galaxies are what galaxies?

That is a difficult question to fully answer as types of galaxies are not fully defined. A ball park figure would be dwarf galaxies, or spiral galaxies depending on the area in question. See related question for a full breakdown.


What galaxies are nebulas found?

Nebulas are found in all types of galaxies, including spiral galaxies like the Milky Way, elliptical galaxies, and irregular galaxies. They are regions of dense dust and gas where new stars are formed. The variety of shapes and sizes of nebulas contribute to the diversity of galaxies in the universe.


Galaxy types from largest to smallest type?

It doesn't really work that way. The types aren't exactly related to size, but rather to shapes. Dwarf galaxies of course are the smallest; but other than that, a spiral galaxy can come in different sizes; so can an irregular galaxy or an elliptical galaxy.


What kind of galexies are there?

There are generally three types of galaxies: spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and irregular galaxies. Spiral galaxies like the Milky Way have a disk shape with arms of stars spiraling out from a central core. Elliptical galaxies are shaped like ellipses and contain mostly older stars. Irregular galaxies have a less defined shape and tend to have a mix of young and old stars.


In order which objects are the largest black holes clusters of galaxies comets galaxies globular clusters meteorites minor planets moons planetary nebulae planets pulsars quasars stars supernova remn?

Your question can not be answered exactly as it is asked. Many of the things in the universe come in various sizes. There are Galaxies and there are Super Galaxies. Super Galaxies can be bigger than clusters of galaxies. Planets and Moons come in all kinds of sizes. Some moons are the size of some minor and/or regular planets... such as Ganymede, and Titan for example. Both are larger than Mercury, and the minor planet Pluto. Pulsars are the remnants of a dying star, stars, meteors, and every thing you have asked about come in various sizes as well. I would recommend that you find and watch "The Universe" which I believe is on the Discovery Channel. There is an episode that deals with the largest things in the Universe. According to that source... the largest thing in the Universe is the "Cosmic Web". This show will deal with pretty much everything you have on your list. It is a very interesting show, and it repeats regularly.

What are the galaxies from largest to smallest?

Galaxy sizes range from smallest to largest in the following order: dwarf galaxies, spiral galaxies (such as the Milky Way), elliptical galaxies, and finally, giant elliptical galaxies. It is important to note that this is a general categorization and there is variation in sizes within each galaxy type.
