Some galaxies are bound together gravitationally into what is called Local Groups.

Because of the gravitational attraction between them they are approaching each other.

Galaxies that travel together through space are called galaxy groups or galaxy clusters. These are systems of galaxies bound together by gravity.

How is gravity important to the galaxies within our universe?

Gravity is crucial for the formation and structure of galaxies in our universe. It pulls together gas, dust, and stars, allowing them to clump together and form galaxies. Without gravity, galaxies would not be able to hold together and maintain their shape. Additionally, gravity plays a key role in the interactions between galaxies, influencing their movement and behavior within the universe.


Why are our galaxies separated?

For starters, if there were no separation between two (or more) galaxies, it would be considered a single galaxies, not two or more. The reason matter is clumped together into galaxies at all (with separations in between) is because of gravity - gravity tends to do that, i.e., to clump things together.


Why do scientist study the light coming from distant galaxies?

They study distant galaxies because they want to know whats out in other galaxies and how many planets it has


Are some irregular galaxies nearly 13 billion light-years from earth?

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.

What holds the galaxies and solar systems together?

Galaxies are held together by gravity. So are Solar Systems. In the case of galaxies, and galaxy clusters, it isn't entirely clear what type of masses provide this gravity - the amount of known matter is simply too small, by a factor of 5-10. For more information, do some reading on "dark matter".


What is a galaxy in physics?

A large band of stars, gas, and dust particles hele together by gravitational force is called galaxy. Galaxies are really complex in nature consisting of billinns of stars. Some galaxies emit a comparatively small amount of radio radiations compared to the total radiations emitted and r called nosmal galaxies. Some galaxies are found to emit millions of times more radio waves compared to normal galaxies. They are called radio galaxies.

What role do particles in the universe play in the formation and evolution of galaxies?

Particles in the universe, such as hydrogen and helium, play a crucial role in the formation and evolution of galaxies. These particles come together through gravity to form stars, which then group together to create galaxies. The interactions and movements of these particles shape the structure and behavior of galaxies over time.
