Solution
Dear Student,
Answer to your question is given below:
There are mainly four types of galaxies present in the universe namely Elliptical Galaxy, Spiral Galaxy, Barred Spiral Galaxy and Irregular Galaxy.
- Spiral galaxies are flattened and spiral in shape. Stars are scattered around the centre in random orbits. These galaxies are bright.
- Barred spiral galaxy is very similar to a spiral with one important difference. The arms spiral out from a straight bar of stars instead of from the centre..
- Elliptical galaxies have smooth, ellipsoidal shape. These galaxies are dim.
- Irregular galaxies have no proper shape. They are structured in a random manner.
Regards
