How far to Milky Way?

Answer 1

diameter 100,00 light years

thikness 1,000 light year

Milky Way Galaxy

a light year is how long it take for the light to reach its place example: 1,000 light years is how long it takes for the light to reach its place answer 1,000 years

Answer 2

The Milky Way has a radius of about 15 kpc, and the Sun is about 10 kpc
from the center. A "kpc" is a kilo-parsec. One parsec is 3.26 light years

3.26 light years is about 32.6 trillion kilometres

About 25,000 light years.

Answer 3

It's really not far to the Milky way, in fact, you're already there. Our Solar system (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, etc.) is one small solar system among possible millions of solar systems in the Milky Way Galaxy, and the Milky Way is a Galaxy of possibly Billions of Galaxies in the Universe. From the sun to the centre of the Milky Way would be about 25000 light years, give or take a few light years.

Answer 4

Difficult to define as there is no real edge as such.

However, the Milky Way has a diameter of about 100,000 light years and our Solar System is about 25,000 light years from Galactic Centre.

Therefore, we are roughly half way from the centre and edge. So 25,000 light years.

Answer 5

You'd probably have to say that the distance is zero. The sun is in the Milky Way ... just one of

an estimated 400 billion stars in our galaxy.

Answer 6

Our solar system is IN the Milky Way galaxy. So you're in it right now. However, it is a spiral galaxy, and we're on one of the outer edges, so from Earth, most of the galaxy appears to be clustered in a band across the night sky. The distance to the center of the galaxy from the sun is roughly 26,400 lightyears, plus or minus 1600. (A lightyear is the distance that light travels in one year. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second, and is the fastest thing in the universe. So, it's REALLY far away.
