Is the Local Group a relatively small or large cluster of galaxies?
Whether the Local Group is relatively small or large cluster of galaxies.
Answer to Problem 9RQ
The Local Group is relatively large cluster of galaxies.
Explanation of Solution
The universe is the collection of several galaxies that are present in a distinguishable group. The cluster of local galaxies consists of dozens of elliptical galaxies, spiral galaxies, and irregular galaxies. These together are known as Local group.
This group of galaxies approximately consist of 54 galaxies and dwarf galaxies. Andromeda galaxy, in the Local Group, is the largest galaxy, which is about 20 times greater than the Milky Way galaxy. The total size of the Local Group is about ten million light-years and about
Conclusion:
Therefore, the Local Group is relatively large cluster of galaxies.
