In what way is Arms and the Man an unromantic comedy?
Arms and the Man is an unromantic comedy because besides at the very end, there really is no romance in the play at all. It's all mostly deceit and lies. Everyone is walking on eggshells around everyone else because they have secrets that could potentially ruin things. And yet all that irony makes the play a comedy.
If all planets are evenly spaced and there are 2,500 planets, they would be about 40 light years apart in the Milky Way.
What is the temperature for the milky way?
The Temperature Is - 455 Degrees Fahrenheit. That's 357 Degrees Less Than YOUR Body Temperature.
Edit: It obviously depends where you measure it. Stars are hot, space is usually cold. It's hard to get an average that means much.
The Solar System (which includes Earth) is at a distance of about 27,000 light-years from the center of the Milky Way; since this distance won't change significantly over time, that means it will take about 27,000 years.
Are the stars of Sirius accepted as the origin of the Milky Way yet?
No, because they are not. Sirius A and B are just two stars in a Galaxy of many billions of stars. Sirius is a few hundred million years old, younger than most of the stars in the Milky Way.
Are there any real pictures of the whole Milky Way Galaxy?
No. We can't take a picture of the whole Milky Way from inside the middle of it. We would need to somehow get a camera outside of the galaxy to take that picture.
Can a black hole have magnetic pole shift?
There is no supportive evidence for the conjecture of magnetic poles within a black hole. Consequently, there is no rational for a magnetic pole shift within a black hole. While poles are apparent within a black hole, these poles appear to be more gravitational (or due to the rotational nature of its internal accretion disc) rather than magnetic and, in many cases, are accompanied by relativistic jets emitted along the poles, which carry away much of the energy. However the mechanism for the creation of these jets is currently not well understood.
Note: While there was a recent interpretation of a vast magnetic field for the discovery of the gamma-ray bubbles about the central of the Milky Way galaxy. However, according to the researchers, these magnetic lobes originate not from our galaxy's central supermassive black hole (Sagittarius A), but from intense star formation activity in a zone around the Milky Way's nucleus measuring approximately 650 light-years wide.
Are there fifteen planet in the universe?
-- There are either eight or nine known planets in our solar system,
depending on what category you like to include Pluto in.
-- Several hundred planets, or evidence of them, have been found in orbit
around other stars, and more are constantly being documented.
It's definitely looking like planet formation around most stars is common in
the universe. It's so devilishly difficult to detect them, though, that there's
no way we'll ever have anywhere near a complete count.
It gets its name from the area of the sky in which it appears, The constellation of Andromeda, which is named after the mythological princess Andromeda
The galaxy in which our solar system is located is called the?
The galaxy in which our solar system is located is called the Milky Way
At its nucleus the Milky Way Galaxy is about 100000 light-years wide and .?
The whole of the galaxy has a diameter of approx 100000 light-years, not just the nucleus! So it is not clear whether the question is about the galaxy or its nucleus.
How many light years across is Galaxy M32?
It's a dwarf galaxy; the diameter is about 6500 light-years (according to information in the Wikipedia article).
What are the other solar systems like The Milky Way?
Our solar system is like many out there, but not an exact copy.
What is the width of the Milky Way in light years?
The Milky Way spiral galaxy is about 100,000 light years in diameter, and about 3,000 light years thick at its center, and about 1,000 light years thick near its outer edge.
Can the Milky Way Galaxy be seen from all over the world?
Considering we are in it - Yes.
However, it is best observed from the Southern Hemisphere.
What forces act in the same way in distant parts of the universe as in our solar system?
i dont know someone help
What is the third closest galaxy to the Milky Way?
The Large Magellanic Cloud is the third closest Galaxy to the Milky Way, after the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy and the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy.
Due to material not being distributed evenly, some stars differ in how much mass they have. The greater the mass of a star, the more pressure there is at its core. Greater pressure at the core means that there is more heating by compression. Combined, greater heat and pressure mean that nuclear fusion, the energy source of a star, can take place more rapidly and in greater amounts. More nuclear fusion means more energy is released. The more energy a star releases, the brighter it shines and the hotter it is.
As a star gets hotter, its peak wavelgnth decreases, shifting from the red end of the spectrum tot he blue end. As a result, the coolest stars appear red while the hottest appear blue.
How many Earth-like planets are there?
If by "like Earth" you mean habitable (that we could live on, without spacesuits, domes or other technological adaptations): there aren't any in our solar system, and none yet elsewhere that we know of. But scientists keep searching; the universe is a pretty big place, and odds are there are multiple other Earthlike planets out there somewhere.
What is the difference between stars and the Milky Way?
The milky way is where there is a lot of stars at each end of the galaxy And a star is a matter mostly of gas pressured together
