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.
