We have a lot of crazy informal names for space sights. Sometimes they’re named after how they are shaped, like the Horsehead Nebula. Sometimes they have a name “borrowed” from their constellation, such as the Andromeda Galaxy. But what about our own galaxy, the Milky Way? Why does this band of stars across Earth’s sky have a name associated with food?

First, let’s back up a bit and talk a bit about what the Milky Way actually is. Astronomers believe it is a barred spiral galaxy — a galaxy with a spiral shape that has a line of stars across its middle, as you can see in the picture above. If you were to fly across the galaxy at the speed of light, it would take you an astounding 100,000 years.

The Milky Way is part of a collection of galaxies called the Local Group. We’re on a collision course with the most massive and largest member of that collection, which is the Andromeda Galaxy (also known as M31). The Milky Way is the second-largest galaxy, and the Triangulum Galaxy (M33) the third-largest. There are roughly 30 members of this group all told.

Answer:

Magellanic clouds are closest Irregular galaxies where as the Andromeda galaxy is the nearest spiral galaxy.

Explanation:

Our home galaxy, Milky Way is a spiral galaxy. The solar system is situated in the outer region of the galaxy, about 28,000 light years away from the galactic center.

LMC (Large Magellanic Clouds) and SMC (Small Magellanic Clouds) are the nearest irregular shaped galaxies. These galaxies are visible as fuzzy clouds with many stars embedded in the southern hemisphere sky.

Nearest spiral galaxy is the Andromeda galaxy which is about 2 million light years away. It is gravitationally bound to the Milky Way galaxy.

How do you measure potential and kinetic energy?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

potential energy is a stored energy or energy of position (gravitational).

Kinetic energy is a energy of motion.

Explanation:

in the formula K is for the kinetic and the P stand for the potential.

Explain concept of donor levels and accepter levels in extrinsic semiconductors and How can Fermi level be defined for conductor
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

DONORS: If the material for which it substitutes has more electrons than the original

ACCEPTORS: If the replacement material has fewer electrons than the original material

Fermi level: the point where the probability of finding the last electron is ½

Explanation:

When in a semiconductor material a small fraction of an element is replaced by another with different valences, an excess charge is created.

If the material for which it substitutes has more electrons than the original, there is an excess of electrons, these excess electrons are weakly bound in the material and their orbits are large, in an energy versus moment diagram their energy places them a little more below the conduction band, these materials are called DONORS.

If the replacement material has fewer electrons than the original material, one electron is missing to complete the bonds, so there is a movement of the other electrons, an easier way to analyze this movement of the (n-1) electrons is to suppose that The missing charge has a positive charge and to study its movement, this positive charge is called a hole, its binding energy is small so the orbit of the hole is large, in an energy diagram it is located a little above the band of valence, these are called ACCEPTORS

The Fermi level is defined as the point where the probability of finding the last electron is ½, when the temperature is changed the density of states of the bands changes, therefore the location point moves, but its [probability remains ½

Which of the following is the equation for impulse
anzhelika [568]

Impulse is (force) x (time).

That's the <em>last choice</em> on the list.  It could be 'D', or '4', or 'Δ', or 'ד' etc.

If you play with it for a while, you discover that impulse has the same units as momentum, which certainly gives you something to think about.

Hello, my younger sister is stuck on this and I just got on here to ask this question. I have my original account but I just mad
nignag [31]

Answer:

Hi there!

I'm sorry your sister is struggling!

I am an edgenuity student in grade 11, I could probably help!

A trend is a line on a graph that all points seem to follow. This is best explained when thinking about line of best fit. If all your points go upward each time and are closed together, we can find the line that gets closest to each point!

Think of a trend as a pattern. The line of best fit, created by analyzing the trends, helps us guess at what the data points beyond what we have will equal

Is there any clarification she needs?
