Question

With which type of galaxy is a small galaxy most likely to merge? Select the two correct answers.(1 point) Responses a nearby galaxy a nearby galaxy a much larger galaxy a much larger galaxy an equal-sized galaxy an equal-sized galaxy a fast-moving galaxy

Answer 1

A small galaxy is most likely to merge with:

1. A nearby galaxy
2. A much larger galaxy

These two options are the most common scenarios for mergers involving small galaxies. Nearby galaxies have a higher chance of interacting due to their proximity, while small galaxies can be gravitationally influenced by larger galaxies, leading to mergers over time.
