Is a star a galaxy, or are they two distinct astronomical entities?
A star and a galaxy are two distinct astronomical entities. A star is a luminous sphere of plasma held together by gravity, while a galaxy is a large system of stars, gas, and dust held together by gravity.
Does our galaxy orbit anything in the universe?
Yes, our galaxy, the Milky Way, is part of a group of galaxies called the Local Group. Within the Local Group, the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy are the two largest galaxies and they are actually moving towards each other. It is believed that the Local Group is also moving towards the Virgo Cluster, a larger cluster of galaxies. So, in a sense, our galaxy is moving within the universe, but it is not orbiting around a single object like a planet orbits a star.
What is the most common star in the universe?
The most common type of star in the universe is a red dwarf star. These stars are smaller and cooler than our Sun, making up about 70-80 of all stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
How can we determine the amount of mass in our galaxy?
Scientists determine the amount of mass in our galaxy by studying the movements of stars and other celestial objects. By observing how these objects move and interact with each other, scientists can calculate the total mass of the galaxy. This helps us understand the structure and dynamics of our galaxy.
How does star formation in the Milky Way contribute to the overall structure and evolution of our galaxy?
Star formation in the Milky Way plays a crucial role in shaping the galaxy's structure and evolution. New stars are born from clouds of gas and dust, which in turn create regions of intense radiation and stellar winds. These processes influence the distribution of matter and energy within the galaxy, leading to the formation of spiral arms, star clusters, and other structures. Over time, the life cycles of stars, including their deaths and explosions, release heavy elements into the interstellar medium, enriching it and providing the building blocks for future generations of stars and planets. This continuous cycle of star formation and destruction helps drive the evolution of the Milky Way and contributes to its overall structure and dynamics.
What is the brightest star in the galaxy?

How would you describe the size of a star?
Each star is a sun for another galaxy, so i would say it was absolutley massive!
In what galaxy is the super giant star found?

How many languages do each of the 20 million sentient species in the Star Wars galaxy speak?
There are 20 million sentient species in the Star Wars galaxy, so each sentient species (excluding humans) has its own native tongue, so there are 20 million alien languages for each one of them.
