Galaxies
Galaxies are large systems of stars and interstellar matter, and they contain billions of stars. Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, has 200 to 400 billion stars, and there are over one billion known galaxies. Questions that have to do with galaxies in general and specific galaxies are perfect for this category!

The Philippines are on Earth which is in the Milky Way galaxy.
What is the smallest particle known to man?
I believe that would be the electron.
Edit by Ylesrinne
Not quite. Electrons are made of quarks, which are smaller than electrons allong with muons, gloums, leptoms, femioms, tracheons, among others.
What type of star would you most likely see in the Canis major?
Canis Major contains all types of stars, although B class stars are probably the most common of the asterism.
A spiral tunnel is a technique employed by railways to ascend steep hills
How many stars does the tadpole galaxy contain?
There are a lot of stars in our galaxy but then again im on 8 yrs old
Which has more stars a globular cluster or a nebula?
A globular cluster has between 1,000 and a million stars gravitationally bound.
Unfortunately, there are many types of nebula.
- Emission
- Reflection
- Diffuse (Emission and Reflection joined)
- Dark
- Planetary
- Supernova
Each with a varying number of stars from 1 to many. It all depends on the size of the nebula and how many new stars have been formed.
In all likelihood, but not certain, a globular cluster will contain the most stars.
What is the fathest galaxy away from ours?
Abell 135 IR 1916. IS exists an astonishing 13.2 billion light years from earth.
Can the approximate size of a galaxy be measured by the Doppler effect?
false
Irregular galaxies are different from elliptical and spiral galaxies because the contain very few stars.
Fasle
What are two disadvantages of using artificial satellites?
one is that when a artificial satellite runs out of use it becomes space junk
Why do the stars seem to be in the same place year after year?
Stars are not always in the same place. Stars were drawn in a cave in France 35,000 years ago. One has moved away from where it was at that time. When the pyramids were built, The world had a different north star. The stars are moving. We simply do not live long enough to see them change position. Our lives are short compared to the few thousand years it would take to notice the difference in the position of stars.
What phenomena are not thought to be results of collisions or other interactions between galaxies?
When you ask a "Which of the following..." question, you need to offer some choices. We're unable to read your mind, to know what distractors were on your quiz.
What did the elements in your body originally come from?
in theory, we are made from the same material as stars eject in supernovas and such events. therefore, we are made from star material and so are the elements in our bodies.

Are the gas planets made of only gas?
No, there are believed to have icy, rocky, solid cores and ice and rock particles in their atmospheres. Neptune, the farthest gas giant from the sun, is said to have an ocean of liquid nitrogen surrounding its core. All gas giants have rings which also are made up of rock and ice particles.
How many years will it take to get to the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy?
It all depends on how fast you travel.
In simplest terms - a ray of light would take 25,000 years to get there.
In not so simplistic terms, a 747 would take about 28 billion years to get there.
