The Andromeda galaxy is about 2.5 million light years away from the earth.
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.
The Andromeda Galaxy is about 24 000 000 000 000 000 000 km away from Earth.
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.
No scale was specified. However, if the Earth was one inch, the Andromeda Galaxy would be 29,300,000,000 miles away.
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!
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.
Andromada is too far away to have an effect on Earth, if it did explode. The Andromeda galaxy may be destroyed a bit. If it does erupt there's nothing to worry about.
The nearest spiral galaxy to Earth is the Andromeda galaxy, 2.5 million light years away. Plus it it the furthest thing you can see with the naked eye!
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.
The nearest Spiral Galaxy is our own Milky Way Galaxy. After that, is the Andromeda Galaxy.
Any measurement you wish. If you want to know how far away the Andromeda Galaxy is, then see the related question.
