A nova is a cataclysmic nuclear explosion caused by the accretion of hydrogen onto the surface of a white dwarf star [See Link]
Not to be confused with a supernova [See link]
How much does a milky way cost?
The cost of a Milky Way candy bar typically ranges from $1 to $2, depending on the store and location.
What is the milky bar kid's real name?
The Milky Bar Kid's real name is Terry Brooks. He was a fictional character created for advertising the Milky Bar chocolate in the UK.
How was the Milky Way galaxy formed?
The "Big Bang" created the Universe and the first stars. Not long after, these stars began to contract due to gravitational attraction, possibly from the remnants of the first population III stars.
These stars, created the early Milky Way. Since then, new stars have been formed - including our own Sun.
Where is Uranus located at in the milky way?
Uranus is a planet in our solar system, so it is located within the Milky Way galaxy, orbiting around the Sun just like Earth and the other planets in our solar system. The Milky Way galaxy itself is a spiral galaxy that contains billions of stars, including our Sun.
Do they have ice cream in the Milky Way?
The Milky Way galaxy is so vast that it is impossible to say for certain if there is ice cream elsewhere. As of now, ice cream is a product of Earth and has not been discovered in other parts of the universe.
What effect can the milky way planet have?
The Milky Way galaxy is not a planet; it is a vast collection of stars, gas, and dust. However, the gravitational pull of the Milky Way can influence the motion of planets within our solar system, including Earth, as well as other celestial bodies. Additionally, the Milky Way's spiral arms are regions where new stars are born, potentially shaping the evolution of planetary systems within them.
In Astronomy, it is often not possible to answer the question "why".
The Milky Way is the name that ancient farmers used to describe the appearance of our galaxy; like a trail of spilled milk in the sky. They knew little about the stars, nothing about galaxies, and described what they saw.
Today we use the phrase "Milky Way" to describe our galaxy as seen from within; countless stars off in the direction of the galactic center, which we see all smudged together because there are so many, and so far away.
How far is the milky way from the sun?
The Sun is one of billions of stars that comprise the Milky Way. So, in a logically very
imprecise way, you'd have to say that the distance is zero, because the Sun is in it.
Although Orion is really close to the Milky Way, Orion isn't in the Milky Way. Just for the same of clarity: if you mean the Milky Way galaxy as opposed to "that band of diffuse light in the sky," every star bright enough for you to see individually is in the Milky Way galaxy.
How many miles is the Milky Way from earth?
None, actually; reach down and touch the Earth, and you are touching part of the Milky Way. We are part of the Milky Way.
How many suns does the milky way galaxy have?
Somewhere between 200 and 400 billion, depending upon how you define "sun." If you define it as a star, then see above. If you omit neutron stars and various dwarf stars or proto suns (stars which have not yet begun nuclear fusion), there would be less.
If you define as sun as any star with one or more planets in orbit, we only know of 623+ so far, though again the number would likely be in the billions.
How does the Andromeda galaxy compare with the Milky Way?
The Andromeda is a spiral galaxy with almost twice as many stars as there are in the Milky Way.
Difficult to be certain, since we're INSIDE the Milky Way and cannot see all of it, and we can't be sure exactly how far away Andromeda is. However, we believe that Andromeda and the Milky Way are probably fairly similar, with Andromeda being slightly larger.
In what way envorment infkuence?
The environment can influence organisms through factors like temperature, humidity, availability of resources, and presence of predators or competitors. These environmental factors can shape behavior, physiology, and evolutionary adaptations in species.
What is the milky way named after?
The Milky Way is named after its appearance as a milky band of light in the night sky. In Latin, it is known as "Via Lactea," which means "milky road" or "milky circle."
Is the Milky Way farther from Earth than Neptune?
Earth and Neptune are both in the Milky Way, so on that basis, the Milky Way is zero distance from us. What we sometimes call the Milky Way is a hazy area going through the night sky. That is much further away than Neptune is.
How many planets are there in the Milky Way?
There were originally 9 planets in our solar system, but now there are only 8 because Pluto is not considered a planet.
In the whole of theMilky Way Galaxythere are probably billions of planets.
The Milky Way is approximately 100,000 light years across.
The value may differ according to sources because the Milky Way does not have a defining boundary.
General structure of a Milky Way galaxy?
The Milky Way galaxy is a spiral galaxy with a central bulge, a disk made up of arms of gas, dust, and stars, and a halo of globular clusters. The central bulge contains older stars, while the disk is where younger stars are formed. The galaxy is surrounded by a halo of dark matter that extends beyond the visible components.
How many glaxies are in the milky way?
the milky way is a galaxy, there are billions of stars in the milky way galaxy
What are the ingredients in milky way magic stars?
Ingredients: Sugar, cocca butter,skimmed milk powder,cocoa mass,demineralised whey powder,lactose,milk,fat,emulsifier,soya lecithin,flavourings,traces hazelnut,almond,milk chocolate,contains milk solids 14% minimum and cocoa solids 25% minimum
What is the diameter of the milky way in miles?
I have just worked this out and the width of the Milkyway is 590,000,000,000,000,000 miles 0r 590 million billion miles 0r 590,000 trillion miles or just over half a billion billion miles =59x10-17
What did the Herschels find when they counted stars in 683 regions around the Milky Way?
The numbers of stars and their distances depended to some extent on their direction.
This helped William Herschel to work out a model for the shape or the Milky Way
Galaxy.
In fact the shape he described is not too far from our modern ideas. Unfortunately he was limited by the knowledge and technology of his time. He decided, wrongly, that the Sun must be near the centre of the Galaxy.
What colour is the Milky Way Galaxy?
The Milky Way Galaxy does not have a specific color since it is a collection of billions of stars, gas, and dust that emit light at different wavelengths. However, if we were able to see it from afar, it would appear as a faint white or yellowish band across the night sky due to the combined light of its stars.
