Day #3--Galaxies Cosmic Zoom Frequently missed questions from yesterday's quiz: inertia vs gravity cause of seasons orbit vs. revolution

In your notebook (on a piece of paper), define, describe or sketch today’s vocabulary—use pages 596-7 and page 569 AC: also read page 582-599 Galaxy spiral Milky Way Local Group

Galaxy (Brainpop) a large group of gas, dust, and millions of stars.

3 main shapes : SPIRAL— most galaxies Elliptical —older stars Irregular--younger

The Milky Way--Brainpop

Milky Way Galaxy (about 100-300 billion stars) (ly=light year=DISTANCE light travels in 1 year=6 trillion miles) about 100,000 ly wide and about 2,000 ly thick we are 30,000 ly from the center (or 250 million billion km) takes us 230 million years to make one orbit (revolution) Our closest galaxy is Andromeda Galaxy (2 million ly away) Spiraling arms Contains oldest stars DYK: If every star in the Milky Way was a grain of salt, they would fill an Olympic sized swimming pool.

Milky Way as seen from Earth

Our solar system is located in the Milky Way Our solar system is located in the Milky Way. Which one of the following statements best describes the Milky Way? A. a nebula containing about 200 billion stars B. a spiral galaxy containing about 200 billion stars C. an irregular galaxy containing about 200 billion stars D. an elliptical galaxy containing about 200 billion stars

Where in the Milky Way is our solar system located? A. in the center of the Milky Way B. in a nebula in the Milky Way C. in a spiral arm of the Milky Way D. in a nova in the Milky Way

Questions To what does the Big Bang refer? an explanation of how the universe began (AC) The North Star (Polaris) is 4.08 x 1012 km from Earth. What is this number written in its long form? 4,080,000,000,000 km

Galaxies exist in groups called CLUSTERS Our Milky Way belongs to a cluster of 32 galaxies called the Local Group. The Milky Way is the second largest galaxy in this group (Andromeda is the largest). Clusters group together to form superclusters.
