Where is the earth positioned in the universe?
The Earth is 93,000,000 miles from the Sun, on the edge of the Milky Way galaxy, in the Virgo supercluster.
What do the astrologers call our galaxy?
We (the carbon units who inhabit the Earth) have named our galaxy the "Milky Way". If there's anybody else out there, we have no idea what they call our galaxy, or whether they care.
What does Milky Way mean?
The section of the night sky where you view the milky way galaxy edge on. There are so many stars in this part of the night sky that it look like a path of spilled milk - therefore it is called the milky way., The Milky Way is the galaxy in which the solar system is located. It is a barred spiral galaxy that is part of the local group of galaxies. It is one of billions of galaxies in the observable universe.
Is our solar system located outside the Milky Way Galaxy?
No. Our solar system is part of the MIlky Way galaxy. It's just kind of on an outer edge, and the galaxy is immense (like 100 billion stars or so), so we can still see the rest of it, even though we're part of it.
How many earth days is on milky way?
The stellar disk of the Milky Way galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years in diameter, and is believed to be, on average, about 1,000 light years thick. It is estimated to contain at least 200 billion stars and possibly up to 400 billion stars, the exact figure depending on the number of very low mass stars, which is highly uncertain. Extending beyond the stellar disk is a much thicker disk of gas. Recent observations indicate that the gaseous disk of the Milky Way has a thickness of around 12,000 light years ---twice the previously accepted value. The Sun (and therefore the Earth and Solar System) may be found close to the inner rim of the Galaxy's Orion Arm, in the Local Fluff inside the Local Bubble, and in the Gould Belt, at a distance of ~25,000 light years from the Galactic Center. So a rough estimate, because there is no real defined outer edge, puts our solar system about 25 thousand light years from the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy. [See Link] for pictorial impression of our location in the Milky Way.
What galaxy do earth belongs?
The earth exists on the edge of the Milky Way galaxy.
What is the shape of the galaxy you live on?
The shape of the Milky Way (our galaxy) is the shape of a spiral.
Where is the earth positioned in the universe?
The Earth is 93,000,000 miles from the Sun, on the edge of the Milky Way galaxy, in the Virgo supercluster.
Distance from sun to Milky Way galaxy?
the answer is zero the sun is in the milky way... HELLO....
If the Sun and Earth were at the edge of the disk of the Milky Way Galaxy what would be the diameter of the galaxy in light years?
It wouldn't matter where the Sun was, the Milky Way Galaxy would still have a diameter of around 100,000 light years.
Is the solar system about halfway between the center of the Milky Way galaxy and its outer edge?
The solar system is the Milky Way galaxy, Earth, and all other planets and galaxies are the solar system.
What do the astrologers call our galaxy?
We (the carbon units who inhabit the Earth) have named our galaxy the "Milky Way". If there's anybody else out there, we have no idea what they call our galaxy, or whether they care.
Distance between earth and edge of milky way?
The distance of the earth to the edge of the Milky way is 1000 light years
What is on the edge of the solar system milky way?
The milky way IS NOT a solar system. it contains millions of solar systems. and there is no definite edge to the milky way galaxy. stars simply distance themselves apart from each other until they stop traveling with the milky way galaxy
Where is the earth located in the milky way?
near the outer edge of our galaxy
Is the solar system in a the Milky Way?
Yes.The Milky Way is the edge of the galaxy in which we all live. Hence, this solar system resides in the Milky Way galaxy. Additionally, other stars in this galaxy have planets, and thus are their own solar systems.
Where is the location of the solar system?
It is on the edge of the sagitarrius arm and at the edge of the milky way galaxy the third planet away from the sun.
