Which statement correctly compares the Milky Way to another galaxy in the local group?

• The Milky Way galaxy is larger than galaxy M31.

• The Milky Way galaxy is the same shape as the Pegasus Dwarf galaxy.

• The Milky Way galaxy is a different shape than galaxy M32.

• The Milky Way galaxy is smaller than the Triangulum galaxy.

Based on this data table, which galaxies are most likely the same type as the Milky Way galaxy?

• Galaxy 2 and 4--because they are both the same distance from the Milky Way galaxy

• Galaxy 2 and 3--because they have the same shape as the Milky Way galaxy

• Galaxy 4 and 5--because they have a similar number of stars as the Milky Way galaxy

• Galaxy 1 and 5--because they are the galaxies farthest from the Milky Way galaxy

Which of these best describes the positions of the sun, the moon, and Earth during a solar eclipse?

• The sun, the moon, and Earth are in a straight line, and the sun is between the moon and Earth.

• The sun and Earth are in a straight line. The moon is not in a line but is at an angle between the sun and Earth.

• The sun and Earth are in a straight line. The moon is not in line but is at an angle on the side of Earth away from the sun.
