elliptical galaxy
The Milky Way galaxy (our home galaxy).
The universe contains billions of galaxies and the Milky Way contains between 100 and 400 billion stellar systems (like the Solar system).
The universe comprises all matter in space. This includes a very large number (200 billion to 2 trillion) galaxies. Each galaxy comprises a very large number of stars: our contains 100 thousand million stars.
A sub-system of the universe would be a galaxy. .
No, the galaxy in which Earth is located is not classified as elliptical. The Milky Way galaxy, which contains our solar system, is classified as a spiral galaxy.
An Elliptical Galaxy
A flattened combination of matter containing stars, gas, and dust in a spiral galaxy is identified as the galaxy's disk. This disk is where most of the galaxy's star formation occurs and contains the majority of its stars and interstellar material. The spiral arms within the disk are regions of higher density that enhance star formation.
A galaxy contains planets and a star system contains only stars.
A flattened combination of matter containing stars, gas, and dust in a spiral galaxy is known as the galaxy's "disk." This disk structure is characterized by its spiral arms, where star formation occurs, and it contains most of the galaxy's visible matter. The disk is surrounded by a more spherical halo of stars, globular clusters, and dark matter.
A spiral galaxy or barred spiral.
it is called a spiral galaxy
A galaxy that looks like a giant pinwheel spinning through the void of space; has a central nucleus that resembles a flattened ball, to which are attached long, curved arms, and contains large amounts of gas and dust.
A galaxy contains billions of stars. A universe contains billions of galaxies.
Like our galaxy contains billions of stars, the universe contains billions of galaxies.
The galaxy that contains Earth is called the Milky Way.
The galaxy you are describing is a spiral galaxy. These galaxies typically have a dense, thick center known as the bulge, composed of stars and gas, along with flattened arms that extend outward, where stars, dust, and gas are concentrated. The Milky Way is a prime example of a spiral galaxy with these characteristics.
