Depending on what galaxy you are tlaking about -.-
100,000 light years
100,000 light years across

The closest spiral galaxy to us is known as the Andromeda galaxy.The Large and Small Magellanic Cloud closer,but there not spiral galaxy there dwarf galaxies.The Andromeda galaxy is about 2,000,000 light years away,while the Large Magellanic Cloud is 160,000 light years away,and the Small Magellanic Cloud is 200,000 light years away.That is why the Large Magellanic Cloud looks larger.
A very large space indeed, the closest galaxy is Andromeda 2.2 million light years away.
The Andromeda Galaxy is the closest large galaxy to us and is approximately 2.5 million light years away! The Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy is the closest galaxy of any size that we know of. It's about 70,000 light years from Earth, or about 50,000 light years from the galactic center, and orbits the Milky Way.
The nearest galaxy to our Milky Way is the Andromeda galaxy, which is about 2.5 million light years away (that is not including the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, small, irregular "satellite" galaxies of our own).
There is no such galaxy, the nearest galaxy is over 2 million light-years away.
The Cartwheel Galaxy is a lenticular galaxy about 500 million light years away in the constellation Sculptor.It is about 150,000 light-years across.
The Andromeda Galaxy is at a distance of about 2.5 million light-years from Earth; or from the Milky Way.
The Large Magellanic Cloud is a nearby galaxy, once thought to be a satellite of our own. At a distance of slightly less than 50 kiloparsecs (≈157,000 light years), it is the third closest galaxy to our Milky Way Galaxy.
i would have thought it was conciderably smaller because the space ships crosed it(at light speed) in minutes. if you tryed to cross our galaxy at light speed it would take billions of years.
