Milky Way Galaxy
The Milky Way, named for how its pale light is seen from Earth, is the galaxy that our solar system belongs to.
954 Questions
In which direction do we orbit the Milky Way?
We orbit the Milky Way galaxy in a counter-clockwise direction when viewed from above the galactic plane. This orbital motion takes hundreds of millions of years to complete one full orbit around the center of the Milky Way.
What is the names of the milky way?
The Milky Way galaxy is the name of the galaxy in which Earth resides. It is a barred spiral galaxy with billions of stars, including our sun. The name "Milky Way" comes from the band of hazy light created by stars in the galactic plane visible in the night sky.
Compare the solar system to the milky way?
Our Sun, and our solar system, are a tiny speck in the Milky Way galaxy. It would be like comparing one grain of sand to Miami Beach, or one cell in your skin to your entire body.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Actually more like a speck of dust to the human body)
Our solar system takes a little under a light year to get through and the Galaxy is around 9 million light years to get across 1/4.
What does the milky way black hole do?
The black hole at the center of the Milky Way, known as Sagittarius A*, has a mass about four million times that of the Sun. It exerts a strong gravitational pull on surrounding objects and stars, causing them to orbit around it. Gas and dust falling into the black hole give off energy and radiation, making it detectable to telescopes.
What the diameter of the milky way in feet?
lets say the Milky Way galaxy is one hundred thousand lightyears 105 in diameter (several sources use this figure).
A light year is 9,5 * 1015 meters which makes about 3.2 * 1016 feet
So the Milky Way is about 3.2 * 1021 feet across
3 200 000 000 000 000 000 000
Why is there a black hole in the milky way?
There are loads of black holes in the Milky Way Galaxy.
The closest is only 1,600 light years away.
The largest is at our galactic centre. A super massive black hole, with a mass greater than over 4 million solar masses or over 4 million times bigger than the sun.
Black holes are resulte of a defomation in space created by a very compact mass.
It seems like you may be referring to the term "grue" from the field of artificial intelligence and philosophy, where it serves as a thought experiment to demonstrate problems with induction. In this context, grue is a color concept where an object is considered grue if it is observed before a certain time t and is green, or if it is observed after time t and is blue. This concept challenges traditional ideas of how we make predictions based on past observations and raises questions about the nature of induction.
Best describes the Milky Way Galaxy?
The Milky Way Galaxy is a spiral galaxy that contains our solar system. It is estimated to contain between 100-400 billion stars, along with gas, dust, and dark matter. The Milky Way is about 100,000 light years in diameter and is part of the Local Group of galaxies.
Is the milky way bigger than the sun?
Yes, the Milky Way is much much larger than our Sun.
The Sun is part of the Milky Way, and is one of over 200 billion stars in the Milky Way.
What is bigger the milky way or the universe?
The Universe. The Milky Way is equivalant of an atom of sand on the beach to the Earth as the Milky Way is to the Universe.
Yes. The universe is everything in existence. The Milky Way is but a microscopic part of the universe.
Can the milky substance from Euphorbia Aeruginosa damage the eye?
Yes, the milky sap of Euphorbia Aeruginosa can be toxic and irritating to the skin and eyes. Contact with the sap may cause irritation, redness, and even temporary vision disturbances. It is important to wash the affected area thoroughly with water and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
What are the main stars of the milky way?
No too sure what you mean by "main" stars but the most obvious ones are:-
* The Sun * Polaris * Rigel * Betelgeuse * Sirius * Vega * VY Canis Majoris * Antares * Alpha Centauri * Barnard's Star
No. Not unless you meant Milky Way candy bars, in which case eating too many of them will make you fat and shorten your life.
Although, actually, Earth is part of our solar system, and our solar system is part of the Milky Way galaxy, so if you step off a curb without looking both ways, yes, the car that hits you IS part of the Milky Way.
But I don't think that was QUITE what you meant by that question.
Predecessor of the Milky Way bar?
FAT EMMA. In the early 1920s, the Pendergast Candy Company in Minneapolis introduced a candy bar with a nougat center. They planned to call it the Emma bar. But when it wound up twice as thick as expected (they accidentally put too much egg white in the mixture), they changed the name to Fat Emma. Later, Frank Mars copied the idea to create the Milky Way bar.
Which is bigger the Milky Way or Andromeda?
It's tough to know. We're inside the Milky Way, so we can't actually see the whole thing, and there are massive clouds of gas and dust that block our view to the core of the galaxy, so the other side of the galaxy is quite unknown.
However, scientists believe that the Andromeda galaxy is a little larger than our own.
Is the sun the only star in milky way galaxy?
No, the Sun is not the only star in the Milky Way galaxy. There are estimated to be over 200 billion stars in our galaxy, of varying sizes and ages. The Sun is just one of the many stars that make up the Milky Way.
What stages has the sun gone through?
The sun has gone through many changes in its existence. It began as a gas nebula before it went through its initial collapse. Then it went through nuclear ignition. After that, once it was ignited, it went through helium flashed and became a red giant. Today, it is a white dwarf.
Yes.
Here is a list.
ALL of the objects on this list are in the Milky Way:
-- all the planets, comets, and shooting stars that you can see, plus the Moon
-- all the planets, comets, asteroids and moons that can be seen with telescopes
-- the sun
-- all the other individual stars that you can see
-- the next nearest several billion stars that are too dim to see with your eyes
-- all the planets that we'll be able to detect in orbits around other stars for a very long time
Was there a girl milky bar kid?
Yes her name is maddie bbennett, she lives in England and she is solid!
What will happen to the Milky Way in the future?
The Milky Way is projected to undergo a merger with the Andromeda Galaxy in about 4 billion years, forming a new galaxy dubbed Milkomeda. This event will greatly alter the structure and composition of both galaxies, likely leading to the formation of new stars and potentially disrupting our solar system's current orbit.
After the Milky Way galaxy, there are many other galaxies in the universe. Some of the closest galaxies to us are the Andromeda galaxy and the Triangulum galaxy. Beyond these, there are billions of other galaxies in the universe, each containing billions of stars.
Where is mars located in the milky way?
Mars is a planet in our solar system, not in the Milky Way galaxy. It is the fourth planet from the Sun in our solar system and is located within the inner region of the Milky Way galaxy, along with Earth and the other planets in our solar system.
What does the Milky Way look like?
Our Galaxy, the Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy. It means it is spiral in form and has a central bar. Pictures explain the concept better.
See related links for a pictorial representation of our galaxy.
Recent evidence suggests the Milky Way Galaxy may be this type?
Recent evidence suggests that the Milky Way Galaxy is a barred spiral galaxy. This type of galaxy features a central bar-like structure with spiral arms extending from it. The Milky Way's structure has been inferred based on observations of its stars and gas distribution.
How many volcanoes are there in the milky way?
It's impossible to answer this question. We don't even know how many volcanoes there are in the solar system. I'm not sure we know exactly how many volcanoes there are on Earth.
