The three closest small galaxies to the Milky Way are the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy, the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy, and the Sculptor Dwarf Galaxy. The Canis Major Dwarf is the closest, located about 25,000 light-years away, while the Sagittarius Dwarf is roughly 70,000 light-years distant. The Sculptor Dwarf Galaxy is situated about 290,000 light-years away from our galaxy. These galaxies are part of the Local Group and are significant for studies of galaxy formation and evolution.

How many galaxies like our own would it take if they were placed edge to edge to reach the nearest galaxy?
Less than one. * The Milky Way (our galaxy) has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years. * According to the Wikipedia, the Canis Major galaxy is at a distance of 25,000 light-years from our Solar System. However, its status as a galaxy is disputed (in other words, it may not be a galaxy). * On the other hand, the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy is at a distance of about 70,000 light-years from the Solar System - still less than the diameter of our galaxy. Note that the distances given are from our Solar System; NOT from the center of our Milky Way.
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.
