How far from the Milky Way Galaxy would the Andromeda Galaxy be on this scale?
No scale was specified. However, if the Earth was one inch, the Andromeda Galaxy would be 29,300,000,000 miles away.
How does the Andromeda galaxy compare with the Milky Way?
The Andromeda is a spiral galaxy with almost twice as many stars as there are in the Milky Way. Difficult to be certain, since we're INSIDE the Milky Way and cannot see all of it, and we can't be sure exactly how far away Andromeda is. However, we believe that Andromeda and the Milky Way are probably fairly similar, with Andromeda being slightly larger.
Is th Andromeda galaxy home of your solar system?
We are located in a galaxy known as the Milky Way. It doesn't seem likely that our Solar System originated in a far-away galaxy like the Andromeda Galaxy.
How far is the Andromeda galaxy from the milky way galaxy?
even at th speed of light it 2,000,000 (2 million) years away!!!!!!!!!!!
How far is Andromeda galaxy from the Sun?
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 the nearest spiral galaxy?
The nearest Spiral Galaxy is our own Milky Way Galaxy. After that, is the Andromeda Galaxy.

How far from the Milky Way Galaxy would the Andromeda Galaxy be if the Milky Way was 1cm?
About 25.4 cm. The Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.54 million light years from us. The Milky Way is about 100,000 light years across. So if 100,000 lights years equals 1 cm, then 2,540,000 / 100,000 = 25.4
How far is mars away from another galaxy?

How did Edwin Hubble's discovery that the Andromeda galaxy was far away of our own galaxy contribute to astronomers' knowledge about the size of the universe?
Prior to Hubble's discovery scientists generally believed that our galaxy was the entire universe. Hubble found that the Andromeda galaxy was, then called the Andromeda Nebula, was not a part of our galaxy but a galaxy unto itself far beyond the edge of the Milky Way. This discovered demonstrated that the universe is much larger than scientists have believed.
