approximatley 25,000 Light Years away
The nearest "big" galaxy after the Milky Way is called the Andromeda galaxy, because with our line of sight from earth, it appears to be in the the constellation Andromeda. It is 2.5 million light years away.
No scale was specified. However, if the Earth was one inch, the Andromeda Galaxy would be 29,300,000,000 miles away.
100,00 light years away.
The Milky Way galaxy is 100,000 light years across and 1,000 light years thick. But the really fun part is that the Milky Way is all around us. We are right inside the Milky Way; it is our home galaxy. The Milky Way is not far away from you; you are a part of it.
If you find a place where the sky is good and dark and you know where to look, you can see theAndromeda Galaxy in the night sky. It looks like a fuzzy patch of dim, hazy light. It's actually agalaxy of hundreds of billions of stars, completely outside of the Milky Way galaxy that we live in.The distance to the Andromeda Galaxy is usually given as a couple of million light years.That would be the answer to the above question.
About 25,000 light years away...
They do not; the Earth is well away from the center, in one of the spiral arms of the galaxy.
No. The black hole at the center of the galaxy is too far away to affect earth.
Gliese581g is in the Milky Way Galaxy. It is "only" 20.5 light years away from Earth.
Mars, like Earth, is in the Milky Way galaxy. The next nearest galaxy is the Andromeda galaxy, which is about 14,696,575,000,000,000,000 miles away.
The third planet from the sun is the earth. Our entire solar system, including the earth, is in the Milky Way Galaxy.
About zero miles. We are IN the Milky Way Galaxy.
We are in the milky way galaxy.
The geocentric theory says the Earth is the center of the universe, everything revolves around it. The heliocentric theory says the Earth revolves around the Sun, the Sun revolves around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, and the Milky Way is floating away from the sight of the Big Bang.
The nearest "big" galaxy after the Milky Way is called the Andromeda galaxy, because with our line of sight from earth, it appears to be in the the constellation Andromeda. It is 2.5 million light years away.
Yes, scientists know what is outside the Milky Way Galaxy. We know that the Andromeda galaxy is outside the Milky Way. The Andromeda is 300 million light years away from earth, and we have also mapped several stars, too.
The Andromeda Galaxy is the closest large galaxy to us and is approximately 2.5 million light years away! The Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy is the closest galaxy of any size that we know of. It's about 70,000 light years from Earth, or about 50,000 light years from the galactic center, and orbits the Milky Way.
