What is the size of the Andromeda galaxy?
I think it is very difficult to define size to a galaxy, as there is not real cut off point. Recent observations showed a "halo" of Stars around the Galaxy - a bit like suburbs to a city. Putting the size to 500,000 light years across. Current thoughts are that it is twice the size of our own Galaxy, so around 200,000 light years across. Maybe someone else can contribute a more recent guesstimate.
How does our solar system compare in the size of the galaxy?
Our solar system is tiny compared to the size of the galaxy. If we take the outer edge of the solar system to be the outer part of the Oort cloud, then it is about 2 light years in diameter. By comparison our galaxy is about 100,000 light years across. The size ratio is similar to that between a grain of sand and a football field.
