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.
Where is the Sun in real life?
The sun is at the center of our solar system. We are about 93,000,000 miles away from it. The sun is about half way from the center of the Milky Way galaxy in one of the spiral arms.
How far away is the Comet Galaxy from the Milky Way?
Mars (and every other planet in our solar system) is nowhere near the center of the galaxy. About 75,000 light years...
Does your whole solar system move?
I guess you mean "our" solar system, or is this a question from an ET? :D Yes, all celestial bodies are in a state of motion relative to each other. Our solar system is revolving around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, a process that takes millions of years. The galaxy in turn is moving away from other galaxies.
What is our position in the galaxy and the universe?
Our solar system is about 2/3 of the way out one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way galaxy, well out from the center. Because of the apparent expansion of the universe, we are unable to determine where the Milky Way galaxy is with reference to any 'fixed" reference; there appear to be no fixed references in the universe.
How many light years away from earth is galactic center?
Our solar system is estimated to be between 25,000 and 28,000 light years from the centre of our galaxy, the Milkyway.
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.
Is our solar system art of the Andromeda galaxy?
No. We live in the Milky Way Galaxy. The Andromeda Galaxy is 2.5 million light years away.
Is Andromeda the largest galaxy in your solar system?
Andromeda is a fairly large galaxy around 2 million light years away, it's not in our solar system or even in our galaxy. It's a huge separate group of billions of stars, each of which may have solar systems and planets of their own.
Is the farther away galaxy is from us the faster it is moving away from us?
The farther away another galaxy is from our solar system the less effect that the gravitational pull will have on that galaxy.Thus allowing the other galaxy to travel at a faster rate.
How long until the collision of the canis major dwarf galaxy and the milky way?
The Canis Major Dwarf galaxy has already collided with the Milky Way, and is currently located inside our galaxy, approximately 42,000 lightyears away from our galactic center. It is located 25,00 light years from our solar system, which puts us closer to it rather than the center of our galaxy, which is 30,00 lightyears away. Hope this answered your question!
