lets say the Milky Way galaxy is one hundred thousand lightyears 105 in diameter (several sources use this figure).
A light year is 9,5 * 1015 meters which makes about 3.2 * 1016 feet
So the Milky Way is about 3.2 * 1021 feet across
3 200 000 000 000 000 000 000
The Milky Way's diameter is about 100,000 light-years.
Mass similar to our own Milky Way; about a trillion stars; diameter estimated at 140,000 light-years.Mass similar to our own Milky Way; about a trillion stars; diameter estimated at 140,000 light-years.Mass similar to our own Milky Way; about a trillion stars; diameter estimated at 140,000 light-years.Mass similar to our own Milky Way; about a trillion stars; diameter estimated at 140,000 light-years.
Your question is not clear. If you are asking how far away is the Milky Way, that's zero mm. Why? Because our solar system is in the Milky Way. We, you and I, are already living in the Milky Way. If you are asking how big is the Milky Way, it's roughly 100,000 light years in diameter. Our galaxy is like a big spiral; so the diameter is a good measure for its size. 1 light year is about 6 trillion miles = 6E12. So in miles our Milky Way is D = 6E12*10E4 = 60E16 miles in diameter. In case so-called scientific numbers are not your thing, that's 60 with sixteen zeros following it or 600,000,000,000,000,000 miles. If you plan on traveling that far, pack a lunch.
Approx 100000 to 180000 years.
the milky way is a galaxy, there are billions of stars in the milky way galaxy
The ratio of the diameter (of the milky way) to what??
The Milky Way's diameter is about 100,000 light-years.
About 30,000 kiloparsecs.
ummm well if u can explore the milky way you can do it be computer
When compared to the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy,the diameter of our solar system is very nearly zero.
Our galaxy, the Milky Way, has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years.

Milky Way is 258,000ly in diameter, according to new observations. And is 1.5trln solar masses. highest mass they got is 2.3trln. but we now say its probably around 1.5trln.
The Milky Way is about 100,000 light years in diameter and about 1000 light years thick.
Considering the Solar System is part of the Milky Way Galaxy, that might give you a clue. The Solar System is about 4 light years in diameter, depending on how you measure it. The Milky Way is 100,000 light years in diameter.
Approximately 100,000 light years across.
The Milky Way is millions of times larger than the sun, and the sun is bigger than the earth hundredfold. Therefore, The Milky Way is by far the biggest.
