How many are 6 stars if expressed as how many dozen?
One dozen equals 12 (items). 6 is one half (1/2) of a dozen. So 6 stars would be one-half dozen if you need how many dozens.
What things are two dimensional figures measured by?
length times(x) width * * * * * Very few 2-dimensional figures are measured by length and width - rectangles (and stretching the terminology) triangles and parallelograms. Certainly not circles, stars, irregular polygons, other irregular shapes.
What is a geometric shape called that is found on the American flag?
There are parallel lines, rectangles and arrays of stars 5 by 6 and 4 by 5.
What Describes a galaxy that has no discernable shape or structure?
A galaxy that has no discernable shape or structure is typically referred to as irregular. Irregular galaxies do not have a distinct spiral or elliptical shape, and can exhibit a chaotic, disorganized appearance. These galaxies often contain young stars and a mix of gas and dust.
Why is an irregular galaxy called a irregular galaxy?
The same stellar materials and dust any other galaxy is made of - it just hasn't taken on a coherent shape - yet, or possibly it had a collision encounter with another galaxy, leaving it "irregular" - either is possible.
Why do irregular galaxies have no shape?
An irregular galaxy is a galaxy that doesn't have a specific shape like a pinwheel or an elliptical galaxy.
What kind of galexies are there?
There are generally three types of galaxies: spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and irregular galaxies. Spiral galaxies like the Milky Way have a disk shape with arms of stars spiraling out from a central core. Elliptical galaxies are shaped like ellipses and contain mostly older stars. Irregular galaxies have a less defined shape and tend to have a mix of young and old stars.
Along with shape and size which property distinguishes spiral galaxies elliptical galaxies and irregular galaxies from one another?
You can also distinguish them by the types of stars - older stars versus younger stars, and stars of different "metallicity".
What is a group of older stars in a rounder shape called?
Elliptical I think
Which galaxy is bigger a elliptical or irregular?
Elliptical galaxies are typically larger than irregular galaxies. Elliptical galaxies are shaped like ellipsoids and often contain more stars and stellar mass compared to irregular galaxies, which have a more irregular and chaotic shape and structure.
What is the Collective noun for an irregular luminous band of stars?
An irregular luminous band of stars is called a galaxyof stars.
What do you call a large group of stars often on the shape of spirals?
Open cluster
What is an asterizm?

What is a star shape?
a star shape is a 10 sided shape with 5 or 10 corners. You might also be thinking of a "constellation", or group of stars said to look like something.
What are constellations groups of?
Constellations are a group of stars that make an imaginary shape in the night sky.
