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.


There are more spiral galaxies than elliptical?

the elliptical galaxy has a round or oval shape the spiral galaxy has a hurricane shape The origin of these different shapes would lie in the particular momentum of the constituent stars at the time they first coalesced into a galaxy under their mutual gravitational attraction.


Irregular galaxies are different from elliptical and spiral galaxies because?

Irregular galaxies lack a distinct shape or structure compared to the more organized elliptical and spiral galaxies. They often have higher levels of gas and dust, resulting in ongoing star formation and less defined arms or center. Irregular galaxies are typically smaller and less massive than their counterparts.


What are some physical characteristics of elliptical galaxies?

Elliptical galaxies are generally round or oval in shape, lacking the distinctive spiral arms seen in spiral galaxies. They typically have a smooth and featureless appearance, with older star populations and little ongoing star formation. Elliptical galaxies also tend to be more massive and contain mainly older stars.


What galaxy don't have a distinct shape and are not symmetrical like spiral or elliptical galaxies?

Irregular galaxies do not have a distinct shape or symmetry like spiral or elliptical galaxies. They often appear more chaotic and disordered, lacking the structured appearance of other galaxy types. Irregular galaxies can vary greatly in size and are characterized by a less defined structure.

What are similarities between elliptical and spiral galaxies?

While spiral galaxies are bright, elliptical galaxies are dim. Spiral galaxies are hotbeds of star formation, but elliptical galaxies aren't nearly as prolific because they contain less gas and dust, which means fewer new (and brighter) stars are born

What are the 4 main galaxy shapes?

There are various ways of categorising galaxies, often based on Edwin Hubble's work on the shapes galaxies. Classifications often give the four main types of galaxies as: Spiral (including barred spiral), Elliptical, Lenticular and Irregular.


How are elliptical galaxies different from spiral galaxy's?

An elliptical galaxy is round. A spiral galaxy is shaped like a spiral.

spiral, elliptical, and irregular. The only differences are shape. Elliptical galaxies are shaped like an ellipse, spiral galaxies like a spiral or pinwheel, and irregular don't have a uniform shape
