The Milky Way Galaxy

A galaxy is a system that includes millions of stars, gas, dust and other
matter. Galaxies come in many shapes and sizes. There are several types of
galaxies in the universe. Among the examples of galaxies are spiral
galaxies, elliptical galaxies and non-uniform/irregular galaxies…..

1.The band of stars is named as the Milky Way because of its milk-like
shape in the night sky.
2. The Milky Way Galaxy is a barred spiral galaxy with two main arms and a
bright, dense star center.
3. A side view of the Milky Way galaxy looks like a thin disk with a bulge in
the middle.
1. The Solar System is at the edge of one of the spiral arms of the Milky
Way galaxy .
2. Humans can only see part of the Milky Way galaxy from Earth because
Earth is at the edge of this galaxy.
3. The size of the Solar System is very small compared to the size of the
Milky Way galaxy.

11.1 The Milky Way Galaxy

The Milky Way galaxy is one of the galaxies in the universe. Humans can
see the large Milky Way galaxy in the night sky because the solar system
is inside this galaxy.
Stability and Strength of Objects and Structures

There are various strong and stable structures around humans. Among the examples that
can be seen are the Pyramids in Egypt in the shape of a pyramid and the Igloo in the
polar region in the shape of a hemisphere. In this chapter, students will learn more about
the factors that affect the stability and strength of objects and structures as well as the
importance of strong and stable structures.

The ability of objects and structures to remain or return to their original position .
The strength of objects and buildings is
the ability of objects and buildings to
withstand forces that will damage or
change the shape of the structure of
the objects and buildings.
