approximatley 25,000 Light Years away
The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral barred galaxy, similar to our own galaxy, the Milky Way.
The nearest "big" galaxy after the Milky Way is called the Andromeda galaxy, because with our line of sight from earth, it appears to be in the the constellation Andromeda. It is 2.5 million light years away.
The Andromeda galaxy is about 2.5 million light-years away from the Milky Way galaxy. It is the closest spiral galaxy to our own.
Our Sun and solar system are part of the Milky Way galaxy; so are you. It's right here.
The sun is one of the many stars in the milky way - our galaxy. Sol, our Suns name is about 25 light years from the center of the Milky Way.
About 25,000 light years away...
They do not; the Earth is well away from the center, in one of the spiral arms of the galaxy.
No. The black hole at the center of the galaxy is too far away to affect earth.
The black hole at the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way, is about 26,000 light-years away from Earth. It is known as Sagittarius A* and has a mass equivalent to about 4 million times that of our sun.
The third planet from the sun is the earth. Our entire solar system, including the earth, is in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Gliese581g is in the Milky Way Galaxy. It is "only" 20.5 light years away from Earth.
Mars, like Earth, is in the Milky Way galaxy. The next nearest galaxy is the Andromeda galaxy, which is about 14,696,575,000,000,000,000 miles away.
No, the solar system is not in the centre of the galaxy, it's roughly halfway between the centre and the edge.The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains the Earth. This name derives from its appearance as a dim "milky" glowing band arching across the night sky, in which the naked eye cannot distinguish individual stars. our solar system is in the half way through the milky way.
No, Earth will not fall into the black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. The black hole is located about 26,000 light-years away from Earth, and our solar system is orbiting it at a safe distance. The gravitational pull from the black hole is not strong enough to pull Earth into it.

The milky way galaxy is roughly a disc shape the is around 1000 lightyears thick on average and 100,000 lightyears in diameter. Our solar system sits roughly 26,500 light years from the centre.
