How many light years from the milky galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy?
The Andromeda Galaxy is at a distance of about 2.5 million light-years from Earth; or from the Milky Way.
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 away is earth from the Andromeda galaxy in kilometers in scientific notation?
The Great Galaxy in Andromeda (also known as the Andromeda Galaxy or M31) is about 2.5 million light years from Earth. When we look at this galaxy today, we see light that has been traveling through space for 2.5 million years; i.e. when we look at the Andromeda Galaxy, we are seeing it as it was about 2.5 million years ago! Think about this, we are looking back in time.1 light year is the distance that light travels in 1 year. Speed of light is 300,000 kilometers/second, find the distance that light travels from the Andromeda Galaxy to Earth in kilometers and express it in scientific notation.
How far is the Andromeda Galaxy?
At the current estimates, the Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.54 million light years from us, and getting closer every year. At that rate, it is expected to "merge" not "collide" in about 4.5 billion years.
How many miles is it from Earth to the Andromeda Galaxy?
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?????

What galaxy is 2.5 million light years from Earth?
The Andromeda Galaxy (M31 galaxy).
How close is Andromeda?
The Andromeda galaxy is approximately 2.5 million light-years (2.4×1019 km) from Earth.

Which galaxy is next to the Milky Way?
The Andromeda Galaxy, located approximately 2.5 million light-years from earth.
How far is the Andromeda Galaxy?

How much larger is the Andromeda galaxy than earth?
One can not realistically measure the size of a galaxy in terms of the size of the Earth. One usually measures the size of a galaxy in terms of light years. The solar system of which the Earth is just a small speck sits in our local galaxy, the Milky Way which is 100,000 to 120,000 light years across, while the Andromeda galaxy is slightly larger at 220,000 light years in diameter.
How many miles is it from Earth to the Andromeda Galaxy?

Why is the light from Andromeda that reaches Earth 2.5 million years old?
The Andromeda galaxy is 2.5 million light years away, meaning that it takes 2.5 millions years to get here traveling at the speed of light.
How log could it take light to travel to earth from the android galaxy?
I assume you mean M31, the Andromeda Galaxy. It is approximately 2.5 million light-years from us; that means that it takes light 2.5 million years to travel from there to here (or from here to there).
