I assume, that a) by Halo stars, you mean high velocity stars, and b) by disk stars, you mean stars that stay within the galaxy (Normal stars).

Halo stars are usually very old stars that do no orbit the centre of the Galaxy the same way that our Sun or other stars in a galaxy. Rather, they travel in elliptical orbits, which often take them well outside the plane of the Galaxy.

What is the difference between disk stars and halo stars?

Stars in the disk all orbit in the same direction and nearly the same plane, while halo stars have more randomly oriented orbits.Clusters of young stars are found only in the disk.Disk stars come in a broad range of masses and colors, while halo stars are mostly of low mass and red.Gas and dust are abundant in the disk but not in the halo.


The Population II stars in your galaxy are located a in the halo but not in the disk b in neither the halo nor the disk c in both the halo and the disk d in the disk but n?

Would you expect stars in the halo of the galaxy to have planets?

It is less likely for stars in the halo of a galaxy to have planets compared to stars in the disk of the galaxy. This is because the halo contains older stars with fewer heavy elements necessary for planet formation. However, some planets could still exist around halo stars, but they would be rare.


What is a tight group of older stars located in the halo of spiral galaxies is?

That is a globular cluster. These clusters are spherical collections of stars that orbit around the center of a galaxy in its halo. They are typically made up of thousands to millions of stars that are much older than the stars found in the disk of the galaxy.


What would a spiral galaxy look like if you were looking out from inside the halo but outside the disk?

It would appear as a cloud of stars, just like the Milky Way.

Name four different objects you can find in our galaxy?

A galaxy contains stars, gas and dust. In a spiral galaxy like the Milky Way, the stars, gas, and dust are organized into a "bulge," a "disk" containing "spiral arms," and a "halo." Elliptical galaxies have a bulge-like central region and a halo, but do not have a disk.

General structure of a Milky Way galaxy?

The Milky Way galaxy is a spiral galaxy with a central bulge, a disk made up of arms of gas, dust, and stars, and a halo of globular clusters. The central bulge contains older stars, while the disk is where younger stars are formed. The galaxy is surrounded by a halo of dark matter that extends beyond the visible components.


What is the spherical region surrounding the disk of a spiral galaxy which contains globular clusters and reddish population II stars called?

The Galactic halo is the spherical region surrounding the disk of a spiral galaxy which contains globular clusters and reddish population II stars.


Why are stars no longer forming in the galactic halo?

Oh, that's a gentle question, friend! Stars aren't forming in the galactic halo mainly because the halo contains older stars and less of the materials needed for new stars to form compared to the galaxy's disk. Remember, even in the stillness of the halo, the universe twinkles with endless possibilities elsewhere!
