The revolution of stars about the center of the galaxy is like that of planets around the sun, only in a larger scale. The motion is caused by angular momentum (which derives ultimately from the Big Bang) and the stars are prevented from flying off in all directions by the gravitational field of the galaxy.
What else can I help you with?
Do stars move like the sun?
Yes, stars do move just like the sun. They all orbit the center of the galaxy due to the gravitational force between the stars and the center. Additionally, some stars have their own planetary systems that revolve around them, similar to our solar system.
Does Betelgeuse move?
Yes, all stars move. Betelgeuse is orbiting around the center of our galaxy.
Does an elliptical galaxy make its own light?
a galaxies does not move that is why there are many stars
Why are stars in your galaxy?
A galaxy is by a definition a group of stars. If there were no stars it could not be a galaxy.
At what galaxy are stars?
Every galaxy contains stars, if that's what you mean. "Galaxy" means "big bunch of stars". No stars ===> no galaxy.
What is the name of the collection of stars held together by the force of gravity?
The collection of stars held together by the force of gravity is called a galaxy. Galaxies can vary in size and shape, and they contain not only stars but also gas, dust, and dark matter. Our own galaxy is known as the Milky Way.
What motion do the stars in the milky way galaxy move?
The stars in the Milky Way move in the opposite direction of the sun.
Which galaxy has no blue stars?
Elliptical Galaxy The Elliptical Galaxy has mostly old stars and blue stars are new stars.
Do the stars move relative to each other Why?
Yes, they do. Why? Because they can't remain static forever. Assuming they were ever static (motionless) with relation to one another (an assumption that is NOT true), they would start to move, eventually, due to their gravitatioal force on one another.
What is a galaxy and what force holds it together?
An island comprising billions of stars and nebulae, held together by gravity.
Why has your galaxy got stars?
If it didn't have stars it wouldn't be a galaxy
What is the circular collection of stars?
The answer is Galaxy. a circular collection of stars is a galaxy
