What is different about a dwarf galaxy compared to the Milky Way?
A universe is a area in space that contains many galaxies and a galaxy is a group of stars of 100 billion or more. Finally a solar system is a sun/star that has an orbit (gravitational pull) and has planets or other matter orbiting it.
Yes, relative to other celestial bodies. Indeed by observing common movement factors of these other galaxies, we may deduce the rate of movement of our home Milky Way galaxy.
What are the similarities between the earth the sun and the moon?
-- all located in the Milky Way galaxy
-- all members of the solar system
-- all visible from Mercury, Venus, Earth, the Moon, and Mars without a telescope
-- all roughly spherical in shape
-- all gravitationally bound to each other
-- all intimately involved in lunar and solar eclipses
-- all permanently located close to the ecliptic plane
-- all intimately involved in the ocean tides
-- all rotate axially
-- rotation axis of each is relatively closely aligned perpendicular to the ecliptic plane
Is the orbital plane of your solar system parallel to the rotation of the milky way galaxy?
The orbital plane of a stellar system can be oriented in any way in relation to the plane of the Milky Way Galaxy. Our solar system, for example, is almost perpendicular to the plane of the Milky Way Galaxy.
Will the Milky Way's black hole eventually eat the entire galaxy?
Hypothetically Yes - That is one considered scenario for the termination of our universe. Eventually as a solar system nears a black hole, any planets within the solar system would be crushed and compacted, like so much garbage, and become part of the accretion disk - long before it eventually disappears across the threshold of the black hole's event horizon.
The Milky Way galaxy contains instellar matter may?
The Milky Way Galaxy contains interstellar matter that may form new stars.
Where inside the Milky Way is our solar system located?
Our solar system is located near the outer edge of the Milky Way.
How does the Milky Way and the Kuiper Belt connect?
The Kuiper Belt is the main group or cluster of asteroids and comets in our galaxy. But even though I am sure, I advise you to do research elsewhere. You can never trust the opinions of others.
Have a nice day! Haha! :P
The milky way is classified as an blank galaxy?
The Milky Way doesn't really rotate around anything. Our home galaxy and nearby Andromeda are pretty much at the center of what is called a local group of gravitationally bound galaxies. As such, it is unsupportable to say that the Milky Way rotates around anything else.
Mars and Earth are planets in a galaxy called the Milky Way, inside the universe.
Is God real Who made Him Who made the creator of God?
No one made God, God has always been and He will always be!
God has no beginning and no end, like a ring, that is why they call Him the Alpha and Omega, Alpha: beginning, Omega: end.
What is the size of the Milky way?
Milky Way is 258,000ly in diameter, according to new observations. And is 1.5trln solar masses. highest mass they got is 2.3trln. but we now say its probably around 1.5trln.
What is a few percent of galaxies that show no regularity of shape classified as?
Look in the discussion for the answers and choose one!
What are some star maps you'll see on your way to Mars?
On the way to Mars you will see all the constellations that you can see from Earth, but they will all be visible 24 hours a day (except the ones that are blocked by the Sun).
Because the stars are all much further away than Mars, the constellations will look exactly the same.
What will happen to the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies 4 billion years from now?
Four billion years from now, our galaxy, the Milky Way, will collide with our large spiraled neighbor, Andromeda.
The Milky Way can be seen in the night sky throughout the year. At any one point in time, at least part of the Milky Way will be visible in the night sky. The centre of the Milky Way can be best viewed from the southern hemisphere, and the outer arm (the Perseus Arm) is best seen from the northern hemisphere.
How much of the Milky Way galaxy have we discovered?
At the moment, or even in the future - we will never know.
Even if we managed to explore every star and planet in the whole Milky Way, by the time we had finished, more moons would have been created somewhere else.
Emission nebula take up about how much of the Milky Way galaxy?
Considering the size of the Milky Way Galaxy and the amount of "empty" space, the amount of space an emission nebula occupies is so small as to be infinitesimal and impossible to equate to a volume.
What is the new planet in the milky way galaxy called?
There are no known new planets. However, planets that are new for us, i.e. that were not previously known, are discovered, at a rate of several hundred planets a year. In other words, there is no "the" new planet.
Why is hydrogen emission useful in mapping the arms of the milky way?
Because hydrogen is the most common element in the universe and also it has a spectral emission line in the microwave radio part of the spectrum making it easier to track with a radio telescope.
Is there aliens living in other milky way galaxy?
there are no other milky way galaxys there is only one so your answer is no
How many light years will it take to get out of the milky way galaxy?
Light-years is a distance, not a time measurement. If you are asking how many light-years a person would have to travel to be outside of the Milky Way galaxy, the answer depends on the "direction" one wishes to use when exiting. The Milky Way, relatively speaking, is almost flat, with a thickness of only 9.26 quadrillion kilometers which is roughly 1000 light-years. While this sounds like a large distance, compare that to the width which is between 9,260 to 11,353 quadrillion kilometers or 100,000 to 120,000 light-years across. Therefore, if you went the thin way, it would be a maximum distance of 4.63 quadrillion kilometers or 500 light-years. If you went the thick way, the distance would be sufficiently larger.
As that's the prevailing view, pretty much everybody except Harlow Shapley, who thought the Milky Way was the major feature of the universe and all the "nebulae" were its satellites.
In the "Great Debate" (in the year 1920) between Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis on this subject, it was Curtis who argued that many of the nebulae were outside our Galaxy.
So, the answer you want is probably "Heber Curtis".
