Pretty much the same distance it is from us: about 2.5 million light years. The north star is about 434 light years from Earth, thousands of times closer.
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!
A star on the near side of the Andromeda galaxy is approximately 2.537 million light-years away from Earth. This distance is constantly changing due to the expansion of the universe.
It is 196 light years far from the earth. In fact Adhil(Arabic name) is a binary star in the Andromeda constellation.
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.
Almost opposite. The North Star is very close to the sky's north pole. Centaurus is far to the south.
No. Far from it. Polaris, also called the North Star and the Pole Star, is situated within about 2/3 of a degree of the North Celestial Pole.
The Andromeda galaxy is about 2.5 million light years away from the earth.
About 430 light years.
No. Far from it. Polaris, also called the North Star and the Pole Star, is the one situated within about 2/3 of a degree of the North Celestial Pole.
No. Far from it. Polaris, also called the North Star and the Pole Star, is situated within about 2/3 of a degree of the North Celestial Pole.
Not quite. The North Star, Polaris, is about six-tenths of a degree away from being directly above the North Pole. Considering that this happened completely by chance, the coincidence is very handy.
The Andromeda Galaxy (aka Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224) is 2.5 million light years(2.4 x 1019 km) from Earth.It is located in the Andromeda constellation.
