Just like any other trip, how long it takes you to get there depends on
how fast you travel.
Here are the times you should plan on, for a few different choices, to the
Andromeda galaxy:
-- Walking, 3 miles per hour . . . . . . . . . . 558,846 billion years
-- Driving, 70 miles per hour. . . . . . . . . . . 23,950 billion years
-- Passenger airline, 500 miles per hour . . . . 3,353 billion years
-- Speed of a radio wave or light wave . . . . . . . 21/2 million years.
Apparently, the speed of a radio wave or light wave is the only practical choice,
since the whole universe is less than 20 billion years old.

How many light years from the milky galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy?
The Andromeda Galaxy is at a distance of about 2.5 million light-years from Earth; or from the Milky Way.
How far is Andromeda galaxy from the Sun?
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.
How long does it take light to travel from the Sun to the Andromeda Galaxy?
The light from our Sun will take about 2.5 million years to reach the Andromeda Galaxy.
How many years would it take for a radio signal to reach the Andromeda galaxy?
About 2.54 million years
How far away is earth from the Andromeda galaxy in kilometers in scientific notation?
The Great Galaxy in Andromeda (also known as the Andromeda Galaxy or M31) is about 2.5 million light years from Earth. When we look at this galaxy today, we see light that has been traveling through space for 2.5 million years; i.e. when we look at the Andromeda Galaxy, we are seeing it as it was about 2.5 million years ago! Think about this, we are looking back in time.1 light year is the distance that light travels in 1 year. Speed of light is 300,000 kilometers/second, find the distance that light travels from the Andromeda Galaxy to Earth in kilometers and express it in scientific notation.

About 2.54 million years
How long has the Andromeda galaxy been alive?
Never - its not alive. But it has existed for many billions of years, almost 13.
Which galaxy is next to the Milky Way?
The Andromeda Galaxy, located approximately 2.5 million light-years from earth.
Which galaxy is 2.2 million light years away?
The Andromeda Galaxy (M31 galaxy).

What is so special about the Andromeda Galaxy?
At a distance of about 2.5 million light years, the Andromeda galaxy(also known as NGC 224 and M31) is the nearest galaxy to the Earth apart from smaller companion galaxies such as the Magellanic Clouds. Like the Milky Way, Andromeda is a spiral galaxy.
Will earth be destroyed when the Andromeda galaxy collides with the milky way galaxy?
The collision of Andromeda with the Milky Way is not expected for many billions of years, by which time the Earth will have already been destroyed by the expansion of the sun into a red giant.
How much larger is the Andromeda galaxy than earth?
One can not realistically measure the size of a galaxy in terms of the size of the Earth. One usually measures the size of a galaxy in terms of light years. The solar system of which the Earth is just a small speck sits in our local galaxy, the Milky Way which is 100,000 to 120,000 light years across, while the Andromeda galaxy is slightly larger at 220,000 light years in diameter.
