Which type of galaxy has the greatest range in diameter and mass?
Elliptical galaxies have the greatest range in diameter and mass among different types of galaxies. They can vary in size from smaller than 10,000 light-years to over 1,000,000 light-years in diameter, and in mass from tens of millions to trillions of times the mass of the sun.
Are Irregular galaxies are very large.?
Yes, they are usually of a similar size range to other types of galaxies, from a few thousand lightyears across to a million or more. Their formation is often as a result of two or more galaxies colliding, or coming close to each other.
Are all 100000000000 galaxies in our universe be any size and shape?
Yes, galaxies can be any size and shape.
Which type of galaxy has the largest range in both size and mass?
Irregular galaxies exhibit the largest range in both size and mass among galaxy types. They can vary significantly, from small dwarf irregular galaxies, which can be just a few hundred light-years across and contain only millions of stars, to massive irregulars that can rival or exceed the size and mass of large spiral galaxies. This diversity arises from their chaotic formation processes and lack of a defined structure, allowing for a wide spectrum of characteristics.
What are the galaxies from largest to smallest?
Galaxy sizes range from smallest to largest in the following order: dwarf galaxies, spiral galaxies (such as the Milky Way), elliptical galaxies, and finally, giant elliptical galaxies. It is important to note that this is a general categorization and there is variation in sizes within each galaxy type.
Are space galaxies all the same size?
No, space galaxies are not all the same size. They vary widely in size, ranging from dwarf galaxies with just a few billion stars to giant galaxies containing trillions of stars. Factors such as their formation history, environment, and interactions with other galaxies contribute to these differences in size. Additionally, galaxies can change over time due to mergers and gravitational influences.
Is the size of galaxies or the space between each galaxy larger?
The space in between galaxies is far larger than the galaxies themselves.
Can galaxies divided into types base on size?
are spiral galaxies are generally older than elliptical
Galaxies are categorized according to their?
size and shape
Is it true that dwarf galaxies are generally only about one fifth the size of the Andromeda galaxy?
Yes, it's generally true that dwarf galaxies are significantly smaller than larger galaxies like the Andromeda Galaxy. Dwarf galaxies typically contain fewer stars and have a lower mass, often being about one-fifth to one-tenth the size of larger galaxies. Andromeda, for instance, is one of the largest galaxies in the Local Group, while dwarf galaxies vary greatly in size and composition, making them much smaller by comparison.
What are two categories of the size of galaxies?
Large and Dwarf.
What other kind of galaxies are there?
Galaxies are classified by their shape and size. The main kinds are ellipticals, spirals, irregular and dwarfs.
