What else can I help you with?
Is it a dwarf galaxy since it contains 1 billion stars?
Yes. Some dwarf galaxies do contain 1 billion stars.
What are three sizes for galaxies?
Galaxies can be classified into three main sizes: dwarf galaxies, which are small and contain less than a few billion stars; Milky Way-sized galaxies, which are intermediate in size and contain a few hundred billion stars; and giant galaxies, which are massive and can contain trillions of stars.
Do Dwarf galaxies contain only dwarf stars?
Dwarf galaxies merely refer to the size of the galaxy itself, not the stars in the galaxy, so no.
Do all galaxies contain billions of stars?
Yes, most galaxies contain billions of stars. For instance, our Milky Way galaxy is estimated to have around 100 to 400 billion stars. However, there are smaller galaxies, known as dwarf galaxies, that may contain as few as a few million stars. Despite this variation, the majority of galaxies are star-rich and typically hold vast numbers of stars.
Do galaxies typically contain between one million and ten million stars?
A dwarf galaxy might contain this number of stars. A galaxy will contain billions of stars.
How many stars are in galaxies millions or billions?
Billions at least, in the large galaxies. Obviously it depends on the size of the galaxy. It is estimated that in our Galaxy there are at least 100 billion and perhaps as many as 400 billion stars. Many galaxies are same sort of size as ours and some are much bigger. However, there are a lot of small "dwarf galaxies" The smaller dwarf galaxies have millions rather than billions of stars.
Is the milky way the smallest galaxy?
no, the milky way is a typical barred spiral with about 200 billion stars some dwarf galaxies my only have a few million stars in fact, there are 2 dwarf galaxies orbiting the milky way that are much smaller
How many stars in the average galaxy?
Galaxies vary a lot in size, from dwarf galaxies that have a few hundred million stars, to huge galaxies with a hundred trillion stars. (That's a ratio of about 1 to a million.)Our own galaxy has somewhere between 200 and 400 billion stars. Actually, most galaxies are quite a bit smaller than our own galaxy, since dwarf galaxies occur in larger numbers.
Do Galaxies contain millions of stars?
Smaller galaxies do. Larger galaxies contain billions or even trillions of stars.
What are Clusters of billion stars?
galaxies
What is the average number of stars in a dwarf galaxy since it contains several billion stars?
The average number of stars in a dwarf galaxy is several billion.
How many stars are the in the galaxy?
There are anywhere from 200-400 billion stars in the Milkyway. The Milky Way Galaxy comprises roughly one hundred billion stars, the closest of which is, of course, the Sun. Other notable stars include Sirius and Betelgeuse.
