What are differences between spiral and elliptical galaxies?

Spiral galaxies have arms spiraling out from the central bulge of the galaxy and contain newer stars and has more gasses to form new stars.

Elliptical galaxies are normally formed after spiral galaxies merge. The formation is an elliptical mass of stars without any arms. When galaxies merge, the process destroys gasses needed to form new stars. So in an elliptical galaxy we would notice more older stars and less stars in the process of forming.

Don't listen to banana. he is plagiarizing.

lue and jishka girl you guys are the same people and you aint the boss yall dont like this site leave this site nd dont come back find your own or create a websit idio t

The brain pop movie called 'Galaxies' should help solve your problems

silly sally is right. I hate how people pretend to be different people on sites or pretend to be something they aren't. And although "Jiskha Girl" isn't wrong, you aint the boss of anybody. Stop pretending to be someone you ain't just to get the likes and agreements of others through trickery.

Spiral galaxy is a special kind of galaxy as described by Hubble in his work. It consists of a flat, rotating disk containing Stars, gas and dust and a central concentration of stars known as bulge. These are surrounded much fainter halo of stars many of which reside in globular clusters. They are named for the Spiral structures that extend from the center to the disk. The spiral arms are ongoing sites of formation of stars and are brighter than the surrounding disk because of young hot OB stars that inhabit them. Together with Irregular galaxies they make about 60% of Local Universe.

TF IS THIS CRAP

Banana found that off a website but its very helpful!! ^^

Thx so much guys!

thsnks peeps

Here I can give you guys the answers for this just PUT IT IN YOUR OWN WORDS Because then you would get in trouble or you will get ex-spelled by your teacher and we can also be in the same class so when the teacher is grading she/he will have to talk to both of us and your parents might ground you TRUST ME IT"S HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE I don't want to get anyone in trouble

18. spiral galaxies are bright elliptical galaxies are dim.
Spiral galaxies are hotbeds of star formation but elliptical galaxies aren't nearly as prolific because they contain less gas and dust which means fewer new and brighter stars are born.

19. When meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere or that of another planet like Mars at high speed and burn up the fireballs or shooting stars are called meteors When a meteoroid survives a trip through the atmosphere and hits the ground it's called a meteorite.

20. Venus is only a 30% closer to the Sun than Earth.
