What size is the Andromeda galaxy?
About twice the size of the Milky Way, so about 200,000 light-years across, so the Milky Way is 100,000 light-years across.
Is the pillars of creation in the milky way Galaxy?
The Pillars of Creation or the Eagle Nebula is only about 7,000 light years from us, so it is definitely in the Milky Way Galaxy.
how much miles is the milky way?
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.
How far would a star on the far side of Andromeda be from earth?
The Milky Way galaxy is 100,000 light years across and 1,000 light years thick. But the really fun part is that the Milky Way is all around us. We are right inside the Milky Way; it is our home galaxy. The Milky Way is not far away from you; you are a part of it.
How far is the milky way from the sun?
The Sun is one of billions of stars that comprise the Milky Way. So, in a logically veryimprecise way, you'd have to say that the distance is zero, because the Sun is in it.
What size is the Andromeda galaxy?
About twice the size of the Milky Way, so about 200,000 light-years across, so the Milky Way is 100,000 light-years across.
Distance from sun to Milky Way galaxy?
the answer is zero the sun is in the milky way... HELLO....
Is Andromeda in the milky way?
no. Andromeda is our nearest milky way's neighbor galaxy. so Andromeda is not locate in the milky way. the distance between these 2 galaxies are roughly 2.5 millions light years.
Are all stars in the Milky Way galaxy?
No, the vast majority of stars are outside the Milky Way galaxy. However, most of the stars we can actually see as individual stars are in the Milky Way. About the only exception is supernovae ... those are so bright that we can distinguish them even in other galaxies.
Is the sun at the edge of the Milky Way?
Our sun is about 25,000 light years from the centre of the milky way.. It's about half way out from the centre of our galaxy.. So our galaxy from end to end would be 100,000 light years across..
Is the pillars of creation in the milky way Galaxy?
The Pillars of Creation or the Eagle Nebula is only about 7,000 light years from us, so it is definitely in the Milky Way Galaxy.
How many miles is the sun from the center of the milky way?
Our sun (also known as Sol) is about 80,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way galaxy. A light year is about seven trillion miles, so 80,000 light years is about 560 quadrillion miles.
How far from the Milky Way Galaxy would the Andromeda Galaxy be if the Milky Way was 1cm?
About 25.4 cm. The Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.54 million light years from us. The Milky Way is about 100,000 light years across. So if 100,000 lights years equals 1 cm, then 2,540,000 / 100,000 = 25.4
Who owns the Milky Way galaxy?
Lots of people own little bits of the Milky Way galaxy. The Earth and everything on it is part of the Milky Way so if you own anything at all you too own a bit of the Milky Way. People themselves are also part of the Milky Way so in a way bits of the Milky Way own parts of the Milky Way.
How many light years away is the farthest star from us in the milky way galaxy?
The Milky Way galaxy, in which we live, is about 50,000 light years in radius, and we're about 40,000 light years out from the center. So the farthest away stars are probably about 90,000 light years away.
How big is the Milky Way compared to the solar system?
The boundary of the Solar System is defined as the point where the Suns gravity no longer has an effect on any body. That distance is approximately 2 light years. The Milky Way Galaxy is about 100,000 light years across. So, the Milky Way Galaxy is about 50,000 times larger.
How long does it take the Milky Way to rotate?
A disk has multiple speeds - at it's perfect center it's standing still (as you approach the center the speed gets smaller and smaller as you approach 0) At the outer rim (where our star Sol and it's attending planets) are rotating around the galaxy center at about 500,000 mph, ~0.0007% of the speed of light.
