1. What is a galaxy?

A galaxy is a large system of stars, gas, and dust held together by gravity. It also contains other celestial objects such as planets, moons, and comets.

2. How many stars are there in a galaxy?

The number of stars in a galaxy can vary greatly, but on average, there are around 100 billion stars in a typical galaxy.

3. How are galaxies formed?

Galaxies are formed through the process of gravitational attraction between stars and other matter. Over time, smaller clusters of stars merge together to form larger galaxies.

4. What is the distribution of stars in a galaxy?

The distribution of stars in a galaxy is not uniform. They are arranged in a variety of patterns, including spiral arms, elliptical shapes, and irregular clusters.

5. Can we see the entire distribution of stars in a galaxy?

No, we cannot see the entire distribution of stars in a galaxy because some stars are hidden behind clouds of gas and dust, and others are too far away to be seen with current technology.
