How many planets are in the Andromeda galaxy?
Astronomer's have not been able to count all the planets in the Andromeda Galaxy. The Andromeda Galaxy is home to one-trillion stars. The Andromeda Galaxy is expected to collide with the Milky Way in the next 4.5-billion years.
How are the Andromeda galaxy and the milky way galaxy alike?
The Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy appear to be of similar size, and approximately similar structure. It's difficult to know since we're inside the Milky Way and we can't see the whole thing from outside, but we suspect that the two galaxies would have a similar appearance as well. Also, in about 4 billion years, they're going to collide and merge.
Is the Andromeda Galaxy bigger than the Milky Way?
Oh, what a fascinating question! The Andromeda Galaxy is indeed bigger than our Milky Way galaxy, stretching about 220,000 light-years across compared to the Milky Way’s 100,000 light-year diameter. It's wonderful to think about how vast and diverse the universe is, isn't it? Just imagine all the beautiful stars and galaxies out there waiting to be explored!
How long would it take to count all stars in Andromeda galaxy?
Since it is not possible to SEE the stars in Andromeda, it would take forever. Of course, if you can wait 3 billion years until Andromeda collides with the Milky Way, it will be a little easier.
What is the orientation of the Andromeda galaxy in relation to our own Milky Way galaxy?
Ah, that's a lovely question! The Andromeda galaxy and our Milky Way galaxy are moving towards each other, a bit like two friends on a beloved journey through the cosmos. It's believed that in a few billion years, they will dance together in a cosmic waltz, merging into a new galaxy filled with endless possibilities and beauty.
What are three galaxies?
Three galaxies would be the Milky Way, Andromeda, and Comet Galaxy.
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
Will the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxy dash each other?
If the Milky way and Andromeda does in fact collide (the accuracy of the prediction is not accurate enough to confirm certainty), then we can expect one of two outcomes.Andromeda envelopes our galaxy and together they form a much larger elliptical galaxy.They pass right past each other, with the gravity of Andromeda "stealing" part of our galaxy which would lead to our solar system being ejected from the Milky way or forming part of Andromeda. (by that time our Sun would have, or could have gone Red Giant already)

Is Andromeda a carnavor?
Andromeda is a neighboring galaxy that's moving towards the Milky Way at about 100 - 140km/s. It's much larger than our Milky Way and if the collision predictions are true, which are estimated to occur in about 4-5 billion years from now, our Milky way will either become part of the Andromeda galaxy and form a giant elliptical galaxy, or it would pass right through with some solar systems being ejected from the Milky way or becoming part of Andromeda. By that time however, our Sun would most probably have become a red giant with our Earth completely enveloped by it. So if your question was meant to ask whether Andromeda is a "cannibal", then in some metaphorical way you could say so yes.

Where is the next galaxy?
The nearest large Galaxy is the Andromeda Galaxy or M31 (also Great Andromeda Nebula in old texts)It is a spiral galaxy, located about 2.5 million years from us.Unlike most galaxies, the Andromeda Galaxy is getting nearer to us and will eventually in a few billion years time "merge" with the Milky Way.See related link for more information
What is the nearest spiral galaxy to your Milky Way?
The closest Galaxy to us (apart form the Milkyway in which we sit), is the The Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy (an irregular galaxy) located about 25,000 light-years away from our Solar System. Then there are the two satellite galaxies to ours, the large and small Magellanic Clouds. The LMC lies about 160,000 light years away and while the SMC is around 200,000 light years away. After these comes the Andromeda Galaxy, which is a separate spiral galaxy approximately 2.5 million light-years from Earth. Note, there may be some closer remnants of galaxies that the Milky Way has consumed that could be argued to be closer.

Since it is not possible to SEE the stars in Andromeda, it would take forever. Of course, if you can wait 3 billion years until Andromeda collides with the Milky Way, it will be a little easier.
How old is the galaxy Andromeda?
The Andromeda Galaxy is believed to be created around the same time as the Milky Way Galaxy. This would put it's age close to just after the "big bang" at around 13.2 billion years.
Does the Andromeda galaxy look like milky way galaxy?
There is a small problem with this. We really do not have a full picture of what the Milky Way Galaxy actually looks like! The reason is, we are in it - and have not ventured much into it, let alone gain a picture of what it looks like in it's entirety. We have made guesses, but the main structure has been based on the Andromeda Galaxy. However, in size and composition (they are both large spiral galaxies) it would be fair to say the two do look similar.
