The only thing that can be directly observed is a galaxy's apparent size (angular size). Since galaxies come in different sizes, this can only give a rough idea of the galaxy's distance from Earth.

Why isn't a galaxys size alone useful in determining its distance from Earth?

How does bat length effect the balls distance?

A longer bat can generate more bat speed, potentially increasing the distance the ball travels when well hit. However, a longer bat can also be heavier and more difficult to control, so it may not always result in increased distance. Ultimately, the player's swing mechanics and contact point with the ball are more important factors in determining distance than bat length alone.


What planets stars comets are in Galaxy NGC 3370?

NGC 3370 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Leo. It contains stars, gas, dust, and possibly planets within its structure. Comets are not typically found within galaxies, but rather in the outer reaches of the solar system.


Does a larger distance does it speed up the rate of diffusion?

No, increasing the distance between particles does not speed up the rate of diffusion. In fact, diffusion rate is influenced by factors such as concentration gradient, temperature, and particle size but not necessarily distance alone. The rate of diffusion is generally slower over larger distances.


Is there such thing as uriel the third planet of the malak in the spiral nebula messier 101?

Messier 101 or Pinwheel Galaxy is about 23.5 million light years from us. Way too far to see a star, let alone name one. Even less chance of detecting a planet. So Uriel is science fiction.

How does One know that he is not alone is the universe?

Although it's impossible to know, one has to think about the vastness of our Universe and that it contains an estimated 100 to 200 billion galaxies - our galaxy is one among billions. If that doesn't blow your mind, our galaxy is 100,000 light years in distance - and a single light year equals about 6 trillion miles. Now, think about the distance between one galaxy to the next...trillions upon trillions of miles. Is it truly logical to think that we're the only forms of life in our Universe? I don't think so.


Are you alone in the galaxy?

No. There are Lumas, sometimes Toads, occasionally Luigi/Luigi's ghost and of course enemies.

Are there other stars similar to the Sun?

The Sun is a G-type star. There are millions of them throughout our galaxy alone.


Is there more than one blue star?

Yes. Millions of blue stars exist in our galaxy alone.


Is Earth the only planet in the universe?

No, there are thought to be billions of planets just in our galaxy alone. Then there are billions of galaxies. There are 7 other planets in our own solar system alone.
