Answer:

1. disk

2.halo

3. globular cluster

4.spiral arm

5. spiral galaxy

6. bulge

Explanation:

1. In Spiral or Lenticular galaxies, the galactic disk is the flat portion that consists of 2 components; the stellar component and the gaseous component. The stellar component consists of the galaxy stars while the gaseous component consists of cool gas and dust.

2. The galactic halo is the first portion of the galaxy to be formed. Formation of halos is caused by increased gravitational effects and the presence of primordial black holes. When baryonic and dark matter merges, halos are formed.

3. A globular cluster is a large compact spherical star cluster, typically of old stars in the outer regions of a galaxy.

4. Spiral arms are region of a large concentration of stars in a spiral galaxy. This large concentration of stars are usually very bright and easily noticeable.

5. The Milky Way galaxy consists of flat, rotating disk containing stars, gas and dust, and a central concentration of stars known as the bulge. The spiral arm that I explained above extends from the center of spiral galaxies. This extension makes it resemble a spiral and thus give spiral galaxies their name.

6. The bulge is a large concentration of stars.
