Does a massive elliptical galaxy have a lot or very little gravitational force on other galaxies?
Massive means there is a lot of mass - and gravitational attraction depends on the amount of mass. The amount of gravitational attraction also depends on the distance - i.e., the effect will be less at larger distances. The gravitational attraction between galaxies is strong enough to make galaxies in a galaxy cluster stay together - for example, in our Local Group.

What is a central dominant galaxy?
A central dominant galaxy is typically the largest and most massive galaxy at the center of a galaxy cluster. It is surrounded by smaller satellite galaxies and can influence the dynamics and evolution of the entire cluster through its strong gravitational pull. These galaxies often exhibit unique properties compared to other galaxies in the cluster.
How does the galaxy get bigger?
Galaxies get bigger by a process of merging. The gravitational attraction of the galaxy and the dark matter round it pull in satellite galaxies and these merge with the main galaxy. Eventually large galaxies merge to form large elliptical galaxies. look at the link below.
What are three types of galaxys?
The three different types of galaxies are the Spiral galaxy, the Elliptical galaxy, and the Irregular galaxy. Spiral galaxies are obviously in the shape of a spiral, elliptical galaxies are shaped as an ellipse, or a flat circle, and irregular galaxies can be any shape.
What is three dimensional galaxies that can be shaped like a football that can be shaped like a football?
I think elliptical galaxies are the galaxies you are referring to. Scientist normally describe them as a flatted disk shape. These galaxies contain mainly older stars.
How are elliptical galaxies different from spiral galaxy's?
An elliptical galaxy is round. A spiral galaxy is shaped like a spiral.
What are the 3 common galaxies?
galaxie 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
Is an E7 galaxy a type of elliptical galaxy?
No, an EO galaxy is not a type of elliptical galaxy. They are a lenticular galaxy.
What do galaxy's have in common?
All galaxies are massive clusters of stars scattered across the universe. Many galaxies take the same form, for instance, spiral and elliptical galaxies. Some galaxies also have a black hole in their center.
What is most common galaxies?
there are 3 types of galaxies. 1.spiral 2.elliptical 3.irregular the main galaxy in our universe would be a spiral galaxy
What galaxy is smaller than a Spiral and Elliptical Galaxy?
By virtue of their name, dwarf galaxies are smaller. Most galaxies are dwarf galaxies.
What is a galaxy that is shaped like lens and has no arms?
Elliptical galaxies, Lenticular galaxies and Irregular galaxies.
Which of these galaxies would you most likely find at the center of a large cluster of galaxies a a large spiral galaxy b a giant elliptical galaxy c a small irregular galaxy?
B.) A giant elliptical galaxy
