Is Andromeda galaxy bigger than a galaxy cluster?
A galaxy cluster consists of several galaxy groups, each of which in turn contains several galaxies. So no; a galaxy cluster is MUCH bigger than any individual galaxy.
Is the Andromeda galaxy in the Northern Hemisphere?
The Andromeda Galaxy can be seen from the northern hemisphere. Above the 45th parallel it is circumpolar, meaning you can see it pretty much any time of the night. If you know where Cassiopeia is, the Andromeda Galaxy is a fuzzy patch of light visible to the naked eye (on really dark nights) between that asterism (the Flying W) and the constellation of Andromeda. The five bright stars that make up Cassiopeia--Andromeda is below the W. The rim stars are dim, even through a good 14" telescope you can generally only make out the core stars. Otherwise the galaxy would appear a bit larger than our own moon, from our perspective here on earth. Andromeda is 2.5 million light years away, and a bit bigger than our galaxy.
Does Andromeda Galaxy Have Any Moons?
More than likely. In 2.5 billion years it will gain at least another 200 when it collides with our Galaxy.
What life is on Andromeda galaxy?
Currently, we do not know of any life that exists within the Andromeda galaxy. Our planet is the only place we know that has life on it.
Has any one been to the Andromeda galaxy?
No. The furthest "man" has gone is the moon.

What is the measurement between the milky way galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy?
Any measurement you wish. If you want to know how far away the Andromeda Galaxy is, then see the related question.

Is Andromeda closer to the milky way then any other planet?
You are mistaken to think that Andromeda is a planet. It is in fact a galaxy located in the night sky in the constellation of Andromeda. The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Messier 31 is the closest spiral galaxy approximately 2,500,000 light-years away.
Does the Andromeda Galaxy have any companions?
the Andromeda galaxy has two major companions the milky way galaxy and the triangulum galaxy. it also has two minor members the small magellenic cloud and the large magellenic cloud.
Is the mikey way galaxy bigger than any other galaxy?
Definetaly not. The are billions upon billions of other galaxies in the universe that are muc bigger than the milky way
Has any one been to the Andromeda galaxy?
No. The furthest "man" has gone is the moon.
Are the Milky Way and M 31 getting further apart?
No, on the contrary, the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is getting closer and closer. It is estimated that in about 3 billion years both galaxies might start merging. This is hard to ascertain, because the sideways component of the speed is hard to calculate accurately. But in any case, in 3 billion years the Andromeda Galaxy will be much closer to us than it is now.No, on the contrary, the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is getting closer and closer.

Why shouldn't you go to close to the Andromeda galaxy?
You simply can't - it is too far away, at least for current technology. However, the Andromeda Galaxy is a galaxy just like any other one - I see no big difference between being there, or being here in our own galaxy.
What is meant by the term Andromeda?
The term Andromeda can mean several different things. In mythology, Andromeda is the daughter of Cassiopeia and Cepheus. Andromeda also can refer to the Andromeda Galaxy, which is 2.5 million light years away from us. Andromeda is also a television series and there's a game called Andromeda. Andromeda can refer to any of these things.
