Since our galaxy is about 100,000 light-years side to side and we are about 30,000 light-years from the centre of our galaxy then by dividing 100,000 by 2 making it 50,000 and then minus 30,000 then it estimates we should be 20,000 light-years from the nearest edge of our galaxy.
They believed it was like a giant plane, and that if you went too far toward the horizon you would fall off the edge of the earth.
As far as we know, we only use scientific notation here on Earth, for the computing of very large numbers (like the distance between planets) or very small numbers (like the radius of a hydrogen atom).
From earth to the moon.
5 Million One Pound coins placed edge to edge would stretch for 112.5 kilometres. Travelling via the M1, that would put you somewhere in the vicinity of Nottingham.
As far as I can see I would say exactly zero.
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.
The nearest Spiral Galaxy is our own Milky Way Galaxy. After that, is the Andromeda Galaxy.
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!
12.5 light years away :) 73487500000000 miles 118259130907260 kilometers that is the nearest galaxy but the nearest sun is Alpha centauri; it is 44000 Billion km away from earth
Far
The nearest to earth is over 9000 miles away.
The Earth is inside the milky way galaxy. It's our own galaxy.
My family had a Ford Galaxie while we lived in the Milky Way Galaxy. I do not know how far it is to the nearest galaxy. We are currently in the Milky Way Galaxy.
This is the nearest galaxy from milky way which is approximately 2.5 million light years away..
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.
We're in it.
The Andromeda galaxy is about 2.5 million light years away from the earth.
