The Milkyway Galaxy

The Milkyway Galaxy
By - Vaidehi Patel


Hi friends,

My name is Vaidehi Patel.This my sixth Blog Writing.My today's topic related to Science : The Milkyway Galaxy.It's the Galaxy we all live!.So, let's move on.....

 

  1.  What is meant by a Galaxy ?
  • A galaxy is a collection of stars and planets that are held together by gravity.
  • In a galaxy, the celestial bodies rotate around a central object.
  • A galaxy is a huge collection of gas, dust, and billions of stars and their solar systems, all held together by gravity.

       2. When was our galaxy called the MilkyWay ?

  • Long ago, the Romans named the galaxy “Via Lactea,” which translates to “Road Of Milk.” The Romans named it Via Lactea precisely because it looks like a milky patch of sky above the Earth at night. But, the Romans weren't the first to name the galaxy.

 

         3. Is Galaxy and MilkyWay the same ?


  		• Galaxy                                                               Great Sky River
     Local Galaxy



    		                                                 Milkyway Galaxy
    Silvery River


     
            4. What is the meaning of Milkyway?
  • The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our Solar System, with the name describing the galaxy's appearance from Earth: a hazy band of light seen in the night sky formed from stars that cannot be individually distinguished by the naked eye.
             5. What is the largest galaxy in the universe than the Milkyway ?

  • IC 1101 
  • The biggest known galaxy is IC 1101, which is 50 times the Milkyway's size and about 2,000 times more massive. It is about 5.5 million light-years across. Nebulas, or vast clouds of gas, also have impressively large sizes. 

 

              6.  Can Milkyway galaxy be seen from Earth ?

  • The Milkyway is visible from Earth as a hazy band of white light, some 30° wide, arching across the night sky. In night sky observing, although all the individual naked-eye stars in the entire sky are part of the Milkyway Galaxy, the term "Milkyway" is limited to this band of light.
 
              7. Why can't the shape of the Milkyway be seen from Earth ?
 
  • We are basically in the middle of our galaxy 'Milkyway'. A thing can't be seen from inside as it could be seen from outside. So,as we are in the middle of the galaxy so we can't see its spiraling shape.
 
               8. Can we see anything outside the Milky Way?
  •  The answer is no – unless you count seeing the combined light of many billions of stars. From the Northern Hemisphere, the only galaxy outside our Milky Way that's easily visible to the eye is the great galaxy in the constellation Andromeda, also known as M31. ... This is the edgewise view into our own Milky Way galaxy.
 (etc.)
 
 
 
 How Does The Milkyway Galaxy Look Like ?

 
 
 
 
 
 
THANK YOU FRIENDS 😊

GOOD BYE....!!  👋🏻

Why Aren't They Free ?  By - Vaidehi Patel      Hi friends,  My name is Vaidehi Patel.Today's topic is very different :  Are Womans An Inferior or an Prisoner ?Why Aren't They Free ?.....In this topic,I will tell you about a ancient system,about some womens who are passing their lives in so much difficulties.So,lets take a look on it... Some womens in almost all states of India are treated like they are a robot.Anyone tells them to trust on anyone,serve them like a king and treat badly by hurting them etc.I feel pity on them because they are harassed by their husbands,children,in-laws and relatives,don't have any rights on their husband etc.When they want,they beat her,harasse her.No one thinks about her while beating her and doing bad things with her. Once the girls are married,they are badly treated by in-laws and husbands....People who think that girls are born only for marriage at a very young age like 10,do...

Our Parents By - Vaidehi Patel   Hi friends, My name is Vaidehi Patel.This is my eighth Blog Writing 🥳.My today's topic is very interesting : Our Parents.Let's move on.....     What's the meaning of the word ''Parents'' ?   A person's MOTHER or and FATHER.     Parents -     MOTHER (MOM)    A mother is the female parent of a child. Mothers are women who inhabit or perform the role of bearing some relation to their children, who may or may not be their biological offspring.Such conditions provide a way of delineating the concept of motherhood, or the state of being a mother.

The pivotal role of being a mother is still the divine m...

Summer- Summer is the hottest of the four temperate seasons, falling after spring and before autmn. At or around the summer solstice (about 3 days before Midsummer Day), the earliest sunrise and latest sunset occurs, the days are longest and the nights are shortest, with day lenght decreasing as the season progresses after the solstice. The date of the beginning of summer varies according to climate, tradition, and culture. When it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and vice versa.In summer weather in the summer grows warmer, and in some areas, the heat translates to drier temperatures. This hot, dry time of year can lead to droughts, where water is in short supply. Heat waves, times of excessively...
