About 2.5 million light years from Earth, but since the Earth and Sun are only 8 light minutes apart, there isn't that much of a difference in how far the Andromeda Galaxy is from the Sun or Earth. So the Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.5 million light years from the Sun and Earth.
How far is our sun from the center of the galaxy in light years?
The Galactic centre is about 27,000 light years from us.
Are the sun and solar system located on the outer edge of the galaxy?
The Milky Way galaxy is about 100,000 light-years across. Our system orbits the center of the Milkey Way, about 26,000 light-years away from it. So we are about half-way out, but still far from the center. We are also approximately near the center of the disk from top to bottom.
