About one. Our galaxy is surrounded by several dwarf galaxies, that are extremely close to us.

∙ 14y agoAh, a math quiz. If the nearest galaxy is 2000000 light years away then it would take 20 Milky Ways laid end to end to equal that distance. Now the problem is that Andromeda is the nearest spiral galaxy and it is 2.5 million light years away, so it would actually take 25 Milky Ways.

How many galaxies like our own would it take if they were placed edge to edge to reach the nearest galaxy?
Less than one. * The Milky Way (our galaxy) has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years. * According to the Wikipedia, the Canis Major galaxy is at a distance of 25,000 light-years from our Solar System. However, its status as a galaxy is disputed (in other words, it may not be a galaxy). * On the other hand, the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy is at a distance of about 70,000 light-years from the Solar System - still less than the diameter of our galaxy. Note that the distances given are from our Solar System; NOT from the center of our Milky Way.
What is the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way Galaxy?
The closest galaxy to our galaxy the Sagittarius galaxy but its Dwarf Galaxy, Andromeda is the Complete Galaxy and yet classified as the Galaxy which is closest to our galaxy. Facts : There are 12 Dwarf galaxies and 1 complete galaxy within the distance of 500,000 light years. Andromeda Galaxy is moving towards our galaxy at the speed 300,000 Kilometers per hour, but its so far that i would take millions of year to have a clash.
Are there probably more planets or more galaxies in the universe explain your answer?
Since a galaxy can have many solar systems and a solar system might have more than one planet, for each galaxy there would be many planets. Therefore there would be more planets than galaxies.
What is larger a red giant a galaxy the universe or the solar system?
The Universe may hold over a trillion (1,000,000,000,000) galaxies. A galaxy might have several billion stars. The planetary portion of the Solar System is several billion miles in diameter; no star is that big, although some red giants would reach the Earth if they were centered on the Sun.
How would you describe the composition of spiral galaxies?
Spiral galaxy has 3 basic components to its visible matter: the disk, the halo, and the nucleus or central bulge.
What are three galaxies?
Three galaxies would be the Milky Way, Andromeda, and Comet Galaxy.
What is most common galaxies?
there are 3 types of galaxies. 1.spiral 2.elliptical 3.irregular the main galaxy in our universe would be a spiral galaxy
Which of these galaxies would you most likely find at the center of a large cluster of galaxies a a large spiral galaxy b a giant elliptical galaxy c a small irregular galaxy?
B.) A giant elliptical galaxy
What is behind the galaxy?
On the other side of the galaxy, you would see empty space, followed by more galaxies.
Which is the nearest galaxy to your milky way galaxy?
I believe that would be M31.
What is the nearest spiral galaxy to your Milky Way?
The closest Galaxy to us (apart form the Milkyway in which we sit), is the The Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy (an irregular galaxy) located about 25,000 light-years away from our Solar System. Then there are the two satellite galaxies to ours, the large and small Magellanic Clouds. The LMC lies about 160,000 light years away and while the SMC is around 200,000 light years away. After these comes the Andromeda Galaxy, which is a separate spiral galaxy approximately 2.5 million light-years from Earth. Note, there may be some closer remnants of galaxies that the Milky Way has consumed that could be argued to be closer.
Would it be impossible for us to discover another galaxy?
It is possible to discover new galaxies.
In which of these galaxies would you be least likely to find an ionization nebula?
a large elliptical galaxy
Your nearest neighbor galaxy?
The Andromeda galaxy is 2.6 million light years away.Thats 1.52840995 × 1019 miles away!That is, travelling at the speed of light, it would take YOU 2.6 million years to get there.

Will you ever go to other galaxies?
People have never been known to have ever visited other galaxies. With recent technological advantages, going to another galaxy may be possible in the future. As people have never manned a space trip to any space body besides the moon, the probability of traveling to another galaxy remains low, though not impossible. Also, as time goes by some galaxies are moving closer to the Milky-way galaxy, so traveling to foreign galaxies may become a higher probability. So... it is possible in the future. You never know... if people in those other galaxies exist, they may visit us first!
