OUR GALAXY | TYPES OF GALAXY

                          OUR GALAXY

  
Galaxy is one of the mysterious and interesting thing of the Universe, which Scientists have not yet been able to know. A Galaxy is a large collection of dust, gas and STARS. The Galaxy is the gravitationally bounded system.Scientists classified the GALAXY according to it's property.
                                                 The 'MILKY WAY' is our Galaxy. Our Solar - System is a part of Our Galaxy and Earth, where we live is one of the planet of Our Solar - System.

 TYPES OF GALAXY:

 There are three major types of Galaxy:

 1. Spiral galaxy
2. Elliptical Galaxy.
3. Irregular galaxy

1.SPIRAL GALAXY:-Spiral galaxy is one kind of GALAXY. These are the most common type in the Universe. Our Galaxy
MILKY- WAY is a Spiral - galaxy.


Spiral galaxies are divided in to subcategories :

..So Galaxy.
..Sa Galaxy.
..Sb Galaxy.
..Sc Galaxy.

2. ELLIPTICAL GALAXY:-  Hubble Telescope classified the Galaxies according to their ellipticity. Elliptical Galaxies are
roughly egg - shaped( ellipsoidal or ovoid). Messier 87 is an example of Elliptical Galaxy.

3. IRREGULAR GALAXY:- Irregular Galaxy doesn't have a perfect shape.They are divided in two groups IrrI and IrrII.
The best example of an Irregular Galaxy is the Small Magellanic Cloud.

THE SUN

                                  SUN The Sun  is the star  at the center of the Solar - system, ' The HEART of our Solar - system'.  It is a yellow dwarf star.   The Sun gives life to the  Earth  and the Earth would have no life at all without the energy it receives from the Sun. WHAT IS THE SUN MADE OF? All stars are made out of gas and plasma. The Sun consists mostly of hydrogen and helium. It also has some carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and small amounts of other gases.                                    In the center of Sun, there is a process called Nuclear Fusion. During nuclear fusion, hydrogen atoms become helium. That means that the hydrogen is slowly being turned into helium. WHAT TYPE OF STAR IS IT? Astronauts classify stars based on the In this system, stars are assigned a letter: O, B, A, F, G, K or M . Stars are grouped into these classes based on their color and / or temperature .The Sun is a class G star. Morgan - Keenan system. HOW BIG IS TH

                           ASTRONOMY  Astronomy  (from  Greek :  ἀστρονομία ) is  a  natural science  that studies  celestial objects and  phenomena . It applies  mathematics ,  physics , and  chemistry  in an effort to explain the origin of those objects and phenomena and their  evolution . Objects of interest include  planets ,  moons ,  stars ,  galaxies , and  comets ; the phenomena also includes  supernova   explosions,  gamma ray bursts ,  quasars com ,  blazars ,  pulsars , and  cosmic microwave background radiation . More generally, all phenomena that originate outside  Earth's atmosphere  ki  are within the purview of astronomy. A related but distinct subject is  physical cosmology , which is the study of the  Universe  as a whole. [1]

EARTH

The Earth is the third planet from the Sun in the Solar - system. The Earth is the only planet in the Solar - system known to harbor life.   LIFE ON EARTH The Earth's temperature, atmosphere and many other factors are just right to keep us alive. The Earth is just for enough away from the Sun, that it is at the right temperature to have liquid water on it's surface. In fact, most of Earth's surface is covered in  water,  which is very  important  for  living things. SIZE OF THE EARTH The Earth is the biggest of all the terrestrial  planets. but the Earth is much smaller than the gas planets, like Saturn and Jupiter, that are in the outer Solar - system. If you cut a piece of string long enough to wrap it around the Earth, it had be 24,901 miles long. That's longer than 365,000 Football fields. THE EARTH'S ORBIT AND ROTATES The Earth is still 93 Million Miles away from the sun. since it's so far away. it takes the earth a
