Our galaxy, the Milky Way, has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years.
About 100,000 Light years in diameter and 20,000 Light years in thickness
It wouldn't matter where the Sun was, the Milky Way Galaxy would still have a diameter of around 100,000 light years.
Our galaxy has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years; at the speed of light, that would take 100,000 years. Currently there is no technology that allows us to do this.
It's a dwarf galaxy; the diameter is about 6500 light-years (according to information in the Wikipedia article).
Our Galaxy The Milky Way is 100,000 light years across the largest section and is 1000 light years deep in thickness
The M87 is the largest galaxy within the Virgo cluster.It has a diameter of approximately 120,000 light years. The Milky Way Galaxy is a mere 100,000 light years.The Earth for comparison has a diameter of 0.0645 light seconds.
The Andromeda Galaxy is roughly 100,000 light years in diameter.
It doesn't make much sense to talk about something being 52 light-years away from a galaxy: A typical galaxy has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years, and doesn't have a clearly-defined border. Distances between galaxies are hundreds of thousands, or millions, of light-years.It doesn't make much sense to talk about something being 52 light-years away from a galaxy: A typical galaxy has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years, and doesn't have a clearly-defined border.

The whole of the galaxy has a diameter of approx 100000 light-years, not just the nucleus! So it is not clear whether the question is about the galaxy or its nucleus.
Diameter of our Solar System: 2 light-years. That's if you include the Oort Cloud; many definitions of "Solar System" make it much smaller than that. Diameter of our galaxy: 100,000 light-years.
The UDF 7556 galaxy (one of the galaxies in the HUDF field) is a spiral galaxy 6000 million light-years from Earth in the Fornax constellation, and is 100,000 light-years in diameter, and contains about 100 billion stars.
