What else can I help you with?
Along with shape and size which property distinguishes spiral galaxies elliptical galaxies and irregular galaxies from one another?
You can also distinguish them by the types of stars - older stars versus younger stars, and stars of different "metallicity".
What are billions of stars?
galaxies
What are galaxies classified as?
Galaxies are classified based on their shape and structure. The main types of galaxies are spiral, elliptical, and irregular. Spiral galaxies have distinct arms of stars, elliptical galaxies are more oval-shaped with older stars, and irregular galaxies have a less defined shape.
In which types of galaxies is concentration of stars more centrally located?
The concentration of stars is typically more centrally located in elliptical galaxies compared to spiral galaxies. Elliptical galaxies have a more concentrated spheroidal shape with stars distributed densely in the center, while spiral galaxies have a more spread-out disk structure with stars distributed along spiral arms.
Describe how gravity causes stars to form galaxies?
It depends on how much gravity that causes stars to form. It depends on how big the star in the galaxies is.
Which stars are actually a galaxy?
No stars are actually a galaxy. All stars are stars and all galaxies are galaxies. Stars are found in galaxies. Some galaxies look like tiny dots in our night sky, so might look like a star, but they are not stars; they are galaxies.
What are all stars and galaxies in?
All stars and galaxies are in the universe.
Are there any stars between Galaxies?
Yes, there are stars between galaxies. When there are collisions or interactions between galaxies, stars can be ripped out of the galaxies. These stars will then wander into space between galaxies. Such stars have been observed with the Hubble Space Telescope. Taken from http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=384
Do Galaxies contain millions of stars?
Smaller galaxies do. Larger galaxies contain billions or even trillions of stars.
Which objects began to form in your universe earlier stars or galaxies?
Galaxies are the massive collection of stars. Therefore galaxies could not have formed without stars.
How are galaxies and stars related?
Stars and Galaxies are related because a galaxy is a system of billions of stars, gases, and dust.
When galaxies collided they form?
Bigger galaxies. And stars.
Can galaxies be formed by groups of stars?
Galaxies ARE groups of stars. Lots of stars though. Not just like 2 or 3...
Where are the stars and the galaxies?
the stars are in the night skies
Do stars form into galaxies?
Galaxies are vast collections of stars. So I guess you could say that a big group of stars forms a galaxy. Our galaxy has many big clusters of stars within it, so not all star clusters are galaxies. If you have a cluster of several million or billion (or trillion) stars surrounded by a lot of empty space, that is probably a galaxy.
Why are the stars found in galaxies?
Because that is what galaxies are "made" up of.
What has all the stars and galaxies in them?
the universe is made up of galaxies
