We can tell the distance is decreasing because the light from Andromeda is blue shifted. That galaxy is closing in on us (or vice versa) 500,000 km (300,000 miles) per hour.
100,00 light years away.
Andromeda Galaxy
The distance to the Andromeda Galaxy is estimated at 2.5 million light-years. The distinction between "near side" and "far side" is irrelevant, since the diameter of the Andromeda Galaxy is probably less than the error in the distance estimation.
The Andromeda Galaxy is at a distance of about 2.5 million light-years from Earth; or from the Milky Way.
Because the Andromeda Galaxy or M31 is a major galaxy and is found in the constellation Andromeda.
100,00 light years away.
Just about as far as the closest star in the Andromeda Galaxy. The diameter of the Andromeda galaxy is ... well, quite huge, but still relatively small, compared to the distance between us and the Andromeda Galaxy. And I believe this diameter may still be smaller than the uncertainty in the distance estimate!

Yes. The Andromeda Galaxy is the nearest spiral galaxy to our own and is the most distance object visible to the naked eye.
The Andromeda Galaxy is at a distance of about 2.5 million light-years from Earth; or from the Milky Way.
no. Andromeda is our nearest milky way's neighbor galaxy. so Andromeda is not locate in the milky way. the distance between these 2 galaxies are roughly 2.5 millions light years.
Gregorio Brillantes titled his short story "The Distance to Andromeda" because the story explores themes of longing, distance, and unreachable dreams. Andromeda, a galaxy outside our own, symbolizes a sense of unattainability and the vast distance between desires and reality.
Approximately 2.5 million light-years.
The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy.
The Sun is the closest of the three, followed by Neptune, then Andromeda.
At a distance of about 2.5 million light years, the Andromeda galaxy(also known as NGC 224 and M31) is the nearest galaxy to the Earth apart from smaller companion galaxies such as the Magellanic Clouds. Like the Milky Way, Andromeda is a spiral galaxy.
