2-3 million years, if you find a way to travel at the speed of light.

How long to travel to Andromeda galaxy?

The Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.5 million light years away. How long it would take to get their depends on how fast you go, but at the speed of light it would take 2.5 millions years.


Why shouldn't you go to close to the Andromeda galaxy?

You simply can't - it is too far away, at least for current technology. However, the Andromeda Galaxy is a galaxy just like any other one - I see no big difference between being there, or being here in our own galaxy.


Which constellations border Andromeda?

Currently the Andromeda Galaxy is classified as a SA(s)b. However, new observational data may have it reclassified as a SB because a bar may actually be present.It is not an SC because the rotational arms are tightly bound.See related link for a pictorial of the classification.


Is Andromeda galaxy the biggest galaxy?

Although the Andromeda Galaxy is a bit larger than the Milky Way, and is large as spiral galaxies go, it is not the largest galaxy. There are larger spiral galaxies, and much, MUCH larger elliptical galaxies. However, because it is relatively close to the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy _appears_ quite large, spanning an apparent width roughly six times that of a full Moon. Still, there are two smaller, closer galaxies (the Magellanic Clouds) which appear larger still. (The Magellanic Clouds are not visible from northern latitudes, however, so one could argue that the Andromeda Galaxy is the biggest galaxy in _apparent size_ visible from most of the northern hemisphere.)


How many kilometers is it from Earth to the Andromeda Galaxy?

That would be an immense number. Light, itself, takes about 2.54 million years to go from Andromeda to Earth. (Or vice-versa).The number of kilometers is about 23 quintillion.

What is andiomeda galaxy?

You may be referring to the Andromeda Galaxy. It is a spiral galaxy, in constellation Andromeda, and part of our Local Group. That means that, as galaxies go, it is fairly close to us.

Why is the light from Andromeda 2.5 million years old?

That means that M31 (the Andromeda Galaxy) is at a distance of about 2.5 million light-years, and that it takes the light 2.5 million years to get here. Light moves quickly, but not instantaneously.

Is it possible for people to go to the Andromeda Galaxy?

No. With current technology we can't even go to the nearest stars (outside our Solar System), the Alpha Centauri system.With some hypothetical technology it MIGHT one day be possible, for example, to reach 1/10 of the speed of light - though even that is science fiction for now. At such a speed, it would take over 40 years to reach Alpha Centauri; and 25 million years to reach the Andromeda Galaxy. But if you wait 3 or 4 billion years, the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way will join.


How long will it take to get to Andromeda galaxy by going 360 000 000 000 000 000 000 Kmph?

You can't go that fast. That would be faster than the speed of light. Anyway, for a hypothetical calculation, divide the distance by the speed.


How long will it take to go to the star wars galaxy?

No real object is named the "Star Wars Galaxy". That was a fiction, invented for the movies., The nearest galaxy is the Milky Way. We can get there quite quickly, since we're already in it. The next nearest galaxy is known as M31, or NGC 224, or the Andromeda Galaxy. If you could (1). travel at the speed of light, and (2). travel in a straight line, then (3). you could be there in 2.5 million years. Unfortunately, (1). you can't, and (2). you can't, so therefore (3). you can't., But speaking of the Andromeda Galaxy, you might want to keep your crash helmet handy, because it's headed toward us, and the collision is expected to begin in less than 4 billion years.
