Travelling at the speed of light, It would take about 2.5 million years. Travelling at conventional rocket speeds, it would take billions of years.

What is the Travel time from earth to another galaxy?
That naturally depends on how fast you plan to travel.We don't have to talk about too many different modes of travel, to show that it's a trip that'snot even worth thinking too much about.If you could travel at the speed of light ... which you can't, because nothing can except light ...the travel time to the nearest galaxy would be 2.24 million years.That's the travel time to the nearest galaxy at the highest possible speed for anything in the universe.
How do you write a sentence for the word galaxy?
I have several sentences for you.We live in the Milky Way galaxy.The nearest galaxy to us is the Andromeda galaxy.Someday, we will travel to another galaxy.The galaxy is made up of stars and their planets, asteroids, and comets.
Traveling at the speed of light how long does it take to travel from earth?
That depends a lot on where you want to travel. Here are some samples:To the Sun: 8 minutes.To Toliman (the nearest star system outside our Solar System): 4.3 years.To the Andromeda Galaxy (a "near-by" galaxy, part of our Local Group): the current estimate is 2.5 million years.That depends a lot on where you want to travel.

How many days does it take to travel to a different galaxy?
It depends entirely on what speed you are travelling at. Traveling at the speed of light(299,792,458 m/s) it would take 9.131 days to travel to the nearest galaxy to earth other than the milky way, Canis Major Dwarf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nearest_galaxies
How long does it take a 130 light years galaxy to get to us?
There is no such thing as a "130 light-year galaxy". A typical galaxy has a diameter of 100,000 light-years (dwarf galaxies can be somewhat smaller); the nearest dwarf galaxy is at a distance of perhaps 100,000 light-years.If another object (say, a star) is at a distance of 130 light-years, that means that light takes 130 years to travel from here to there, or from there to here.There is no such thing as a "130 light-year galaxy".

How long will it take for the sun to travel around the galaxy once?
The sun barely moves. It never will travel around the galaxy.
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.
When does The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy take place?
It takes place in the "present time." Many believe it to take place in the future, because of the space travel, aliens, etc. However, it is in fact set in the present day.
If you travel to the Milky Way will it take you to the Andromeda Galaxy?
No - you are already IN the Milky Way Galaxy
Can you travel to the center of the milky way galaxy?
No
What is the average travel distance on earth from black hole?
The nearest black hole to the Earth is about 9.7 light years away!
Why are the stars in a galaxy kept together even they travel very fast as they whirl around in space?
Even though they travel together they are kept in the galaxy by the galaxy's gravity, which is the combined gravity of all other stars, nebulae, and other matter in the galaxy.
