Between 100,000 and 180000 years.
Which is bigger the sun or the galaxy?
The sun is but one of several hundred billion stars within the Milky Way Galaxy. Thus the galaxy is much larger. The Milky Way is so vast that it takes light approximately 100,000 years to travel its diameter, and 1,000 years to travel its thickness. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milky_Way
How long would it take to get to the centre of the earths Milky way galaxy?
It takes 225 MILLION Earth years for the sun to orbit the center of the Milky Way once.
What galaxy does planet earth belongs to?
Our solar system is not far from the end of one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way. Our sun is about 26 or 27 thousand light years from the galactic center, and the galaxy is about 70 to 100 thousand light years across. See link for more information.See link for pictorial representation.
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?
It wouldn't matter where the Sun was, the Milky Way Galaxy would still have a diameter of around 100,000 light years.
How fast does light travel from the Milky Way galaxy to the Andromeda galaxy?

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.

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.
What is the distance across the milky way galaxy?
Our Milky Way galaxy is 100,000 light years across.
How long does it take light to travel from one side of the galaxy to the other side?
Assuming you are referring to our Galaxy - The Milky Way. Light will take about 100,000 years to get from one side to the other.
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.
What is the different between the Milky Way and Milky Way galaxy?
There isn't one. really. If there is a difference, you could say that the Milky Way is the milky band of light as seen from Earth, whereas the Milky Way Galaxy is the whole galaxy, which includes those bit's we cannot see from Earth. Best to just accept they are one and the same.

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).
Why is our galaxy known as the Milky Way galaxy?
Because it appears as a wide, light milky band across the night sky.
