    This document discusses galaxies, stars, and the Milky Way galaxy. It contains the following key points: 1) A galaxy is a large group of stars, gas and dust held together by gravity. The Milky Way galaxy is a medium-sized spiral galaxy that contains approximately 200 billion stars and is our home galaxy. 2) Stars are formed from large clouds of dust and gas called nebulae that collapse under gravity. As the core becomes denser, nuclear fusion reactions begin, releasing heat and light and forming a new star. 3) Stars eventually die, with smaller stars becoming white dwarfs and larger stars exploding in supernovae. The remnants of the largest stars form neutron stars or black holes

    Galaxy & The Birth of Stars Death of Stars


    Milky Way

    Characteristic to Classify
    Questions
    Star
    Galaxy & The Milky
    Way
    Galaxy: A set of bodies consisting of millions
    The Milky Way of stars with gas and dust particles

    The Milky Way: -A medium large spiral


    galaxy
    -our solar system is located
    at the edge of one the spiral
    arms.
    -consists of approximately 200
    billion stars.

    Spiral Elliptical Irregular

    Galaxies
    Formed from nebulae -large clouds(dust particles & gases)

    Pulled by a strong gravitational force, causes globe formed

    The globe shrinks and compress,become very dense -> form core

    The core shrinks and becomes dense

    Birth of Temperature and pressure become too high

    Stars Nuclear reaction takes place (Hydrogen->Helium)

    Heat energy and light is released

    A new star is formed-protostan

    It will continue expand and become an averge star/massive star


    Death of Stars
    Heat generated,heat up outermost layer

    Hyfrogen starts to burn

    Star expand

    Star appears red (Red Giant)

    Red giant & massive white dwarf red giant big enough,contract and supernova occur
    formed (extremely bright)

    After explosion

    Neutron star formed Black hole formed


    (if the original star is large star) (if the original star is super large star)
    Characteristics
    to classify stars

    Colour-Stars have colours that correspond to its suface temprature.


    Temprature
    Size:-The big one called super giant star
    -The small one is called the dwarfs
    Distance
    Brightness-the brightness stars are sirius and rigel
    Size

    Color
    Questions!!
    1)What is the definition of galaxy and the
    miky way

    2) What are the types of galaxies?

    3)State the characteristic to classfiy the Stars
