The galaxy is covered in dust.
A large but very faint layer of stars surrounds the disk and bulge. In addition to stars, the Milky Way contains clouds of gas and dust called nebulae.

It would appear as a cloud of stars, just like the Milky Way.

Why does the milky way appear like a white stream than separate stars?
We are in the Milky Way Galaxy, therefore we see at clear nights interstellar dust illuminated by starlight. The dust is in a form of a spiral arm which we see only part of as a narrow band.
Stars in the milky way in scientific notation?
There are about 2e11 stars in the Milky Way galaxy. As there are about 1e11 galaxies in the universe, perhaps averaging 1e11 stars per each, that makes the number of stars in the universe roughly 1e22.For e (exponent) you could write x10^Our Milky Way i s a GALAXY. These are many billions of stars bound together in a plane. Galaxy's are not 3D. Depending on from which direction you view a galaxy it can look like a pancake, or it can just look like a line or band from left to right. We see our Milky way as a band of stars because we are viewing it from within, thus, viewing it as a line or band.
What is the longest distance to a star visible with the naked eye?
If you find a place where the sky is good and dark and you know where to look, you can see theAndromeda Galaxy in the night sky. It looks like a fuzzy patch of dim, hazy light. It's actually agalaxy of hundreds of billions of stars, completely outside of the Milky Way galaxy that we live in.The distance to the Andromeda Galaxy is usually given as a couple of million light years.That would be the answer to the above question.
How does the milky way looks like in the night sky?
milky, like a river of stars
Is your galaxy visable in the night sky?
Our galaxy is visible in a night sky that is not obscured by clouds or city lights. It's a band of stars called the milky way. Because we are in it and it's flat like a plate we see it edgewise so it looks like a band of stars that kind of blur together.
The earth is part of galaxy called the milky way?
Yes, the Earth is in the Milky Way. Every star you can see in the sky at night is also in the Milky Way. With the naked eye, you cannot see any stars that are not in the Milky Way. The next nearest galaxy is Andromeda and it is just about visible with the naked eye, looking like a hazy dust in the sky, but you would not see any stars in it. It is the furthest thing away that we can see with the naked eye. It is hard to be accurate but it is about 2,500,000 light years away. That is about 14,674,284,000,000,000,000 miles away. To see stars in it, you'd need a very powerful telescope.
What do scientist know about what its like on the surface of the milky way?

What motion do the stars in the milky way galaxy move?
The stars in the Milky Way move in the opposite direction of the sun.
Can humans breathe on the milky way?
The Milky Way is not a place you can be on, it is our galaxy which we are part of. From earth it looks like a milky white band across the sky (thus the name).

What is the cause of the milky way thought the heaven?
The "Milky Way" is called that because to the naked eye, it looks like a broad band of white smoke or "milk" across the sky. Through binoculars, it is revealed to be made up of countless thousands of stars. What it is in reality is one of the inner arms of our spiral galaxy, which we also call the "Milky Way".
