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.
Approximately 75,000 light years.
To give an idea of how far that is.
A beam of light will travel around the Earth 8 times in one second.
So light from the far side of the galaxy left when man was first creating tools from flint.
Well the closest star in the Milky Way to the Earth is a yellowish Type G star named Sol which, measured in light years, is about 8 light minutes away. This means that the Milky Way is all around you, and in you. You are inside the Milky Way.
Who knows. One can only guess.
The far side of the Galaxy is known as the Observation Shadow [See related link] and thus we cannot see what is there.
The Milky Way is approximately 100,00 light years across and we are 25,000 light years from Galactic centre, so the furthest star will be about 75,000 light years away.
I suppose you mean the Andromeda Galaxy, M31. It is at an estimated distance of 2.5 million light-years. The "far side" is irrelevant: the diameter of the Andromeda Galaxy is much less than the probable error in the above figure.
The Andromeda galaxy is about 2.2 million light years from earth. Add another 0.1 million for the farside. So that's about 2.3 million light years distance.
The Earth is about 26,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way. However, it's large enough that even at 26,000 light years the Earth is still INSIDE the Milky Way.

We are in the Milky Way. It is our home galaxy. The Milky Way is 100,000 light years across - this is approximately 587,460 trillion miles.
The Earth is in the Milky Way Galaxy So it is not far becasue we are in the galaxy.
Approximately 75,000 light years give or take.
To give you an idea of that distance. Driving at 100mph would take about 44,000 billion years.
It is 196 light years far from the earth. In fact Adhil(Arabic name) is a binary star in the Andromeda constellation.
Andromeda is not a star. It is a constellation. But it is also the name, given in short form, to the Andromeda Nebula.
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.
Andromeda galaxy is 1,974,973,990 light years from earth, source N.A.S.A. the second furthest star from Earth is 1,974,973,990 light years away..... ----------------------------- There are 5,878,499,814,186.5 miles traveled in a light year, (thats 5.8+ Trillion miles) the center of Andromeda is approx. 2.5 million light years away. The math is beyond me. If 2 steam engines leave their stations from earth 15 minutes apart when will they end up in Andromeda?????
Lmao, 220,000ly gaalxy vs. a dwarf star that has a diameter of 1.3mln km lmao it's obvious Andromeda is a bigger

there isn't just one major star Andromeda is a galaxy
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!
It is Blue!
Yes

It's impossible to be precise, but I would guess all of them. The galaxy is so large.

The earth is a planet, not a star. An example of a star would be the sun.
