There are lots of different kinds of galaxies and they are spiral, elliptical, peculiar, and irregular galaxies. Spiral galaxies have a red center because the center is made of older stars and the other stars, gas and things or the “arms” are shaped like a spiral and they are like flat disks. We live in the milky way and the milky way is a spiral galaxy. Elliptical galaxies are shaped like spheres or they can also be shaped like a football type shape, they are mostly made up of older stars. Peculiar galaxies have a weird and a hard to make out shape but they are mostly products of galactic collision. Irregular galaxies also have a weird and no distinct shape, and they larger ones are possibly caused by galactic collisions.
S&EP 1: Asking questions and defining problems:
We asked a scientific question and it was, "how does the distance of a planet from the sun affect the planets?". Even though this seems super obvious the further away from the sun the colder the planets are and one of them even is made of partly ice. We also found out that the further away the planet are the longer the years are because it takes a longer time to actually orbit around the sun due to it being further. Another thing that we found out is that when the planets are further for the sun they can have a longer sunlight time like how uranus is the 7th from the sun and it has sun for around 42 earth years at a time. There are tons of other factors that make planets different like some are gas giants (they are mostly made of gas and have many rings and moons) and some are rocky planets9 mostly made of rocks and metal with no rings and few moons if there are any).
