What else can I help you with?
If the Sun and Earth were at the edge of the disk of the Milky Way Galaxy what would be the diameter of the galaxy in light years?
The diameter of the Milky Way galaxy is about 100,000 light-years. If the Sun and Earth were at the edge of the disk, we would still be within the galaxy's boundaries, so the diameter would remain around 100,000 light-years.
How far would you have to travel to get to the end of the milky way galaxy?
Our spiral galaxy of The Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 80,000 to 120,000 light-years across, and less than 7,000 light-years thick.
Would the distance between the Milky Way to the next nearest galaxy be the lenght of a light year?
The Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is currently considered to be the closest galaxy to the Milky Way. It is 25,000 light years from our solar system and 42,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way. Its status as a galaxy is still disputed in some scientific circles. If the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy loses its galaxy status, then the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy would reacquire the title as the Milky Way's closest neighbor. It is it is roughly 50,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way.
How far from the Milky Way Galaxy would the Andromeda Galaxy be if the Milky Way was 1cm?
About 25.4 cm. The Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.54 million light years from us. The Milky Way is about 100,000 light years across. So if 100,000 lights years equals 1 cm, then 2,540,000 / 100,000 = 25.4
What is the distance across the milky way galaxy?
Our Milky Way galaxy is 100,000 light years across.
The Andromida Galaxy?
The Andromeda Galaxy is the nearest spiral galaxy to our Milky Way, located about 2.5 million light-years away. It is home to about a trillion stars and has a diameter of approximately 220,000 light-years. Andromeda is on a collision course with the Milky Way and is expected to merge with our galaxy in about 4 billion years.
How many light years from the milky galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy?
The Milky Way galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy are approximately 2.5 million light-years apart. This makes Andromeda the closest spiral galaxy to our own Milky Way. Both galaxies are part of the Local Group of galaxies.
Where is planet earth in the milky way galaxy?
our galaxy contains between 200- to 400-billion stars arranged in a giant disc shape. The diameter is 100,000 light years with an average thickness of 10,000 light years. The Earth is located about 28,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way.
Is the sun at the edge of the Milky Way?
Our sun is about 25,000 light years from the centre of the milky way.. It's about half way out from the centre of our galaxy.. So our galaxy from end to end would be 100,000 light years across..
What galaxy is closer in distance to the milky way?
Andromeda is the cloest galaxy to our own Milky Way Galaxy at 2.5 million light years away.
How many light years the galaxy to galaxy?
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).
What is the distance from one side of the milky way galaxy to the other?
The Milky Way galaxy is approximately 100,000 light-years in diameter.
