This image contains a set of questions about astronomy, specifically about galaxy types and basic solar system facts. I will solve each question one by one.
Question 4: Label the three main types of galaxies.
The image already provides the labels for the three main types of galaxies:
-
Spiral: The first image shows a galaxy with a distinct spiral structure.
-
Elliptical: The second image shows a galaxy that is more rounded or oval-shaped.
-
Irregular: The third image shows a galaxy without a clear, symmetrical shape.
These are indeed the three main types of galaxies as classified by Edwin Hubble in his Hubble sequence.
Question 5: What is the name of our galaxy?
The options given are:
a) Andromeda
b) Black Eye
c) Cartwheel
d) Milky Way
Our galaxy is called the
Milky Way. The other options are names of other galaxies:
- Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way.
- Black Eye Galaxy (M64) is known for its dark band of dust.
- Cartwheel Galaxy is a ring galaxy formed by a collision.
So, the correct answer is
d) Milky Way.
Question 6: Which is the nearest star to planet Earth?
The options given are:
a) The Moon
b) Mars
c) The Sun
d) Venus
The Sun is the nearest star to Earth. While the Moon, Mars, and Venus are celestial bodies in our solar system, they are not stars. The Sun is a star, and it is the center of our solar system, making it the closest star to Earth.
So, the correct answer is
c) The Sun.

Q4: The three main types of galaxies are Spiral, Elliptical, and Irregular.
-
Q5: The name of our galaxy is
d) Milky Way.
-
