The distance to the Andromeda Galaxy is estimated at 2.5 million light-years. The distinction between "near side" and "far side" is irrelevant, since the diameter of the Andromeda Galaxy is probably less than the error in the distance estimation.

How far away is a star on the near side of the Andromeda galaxy from earth?

A star on the near side of the Andromeda galaxy is approximately 2.537 million light-years away from Earth. This distance is constantly changing due to the expansion of the universe.


What is bigger the sun or the Andromeda galaxy?

Lmao, 220,000ly gaalxy vs. a dwarf star that has a diameter of 1.3mln km lmao it's obvious Andromeda is a bigger


What is the temperature of the brightest star?

how many stars are there in the Andromeda galaxy


What is inside the Andromeda galaxy?

The Andromeda galaxy contains billions of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter. It also has a supermassive black hole at its center, along with star clusters and nebulae. The galaxy is located about 2.537 million light years away from Earth.


How will the Andromeda galaxy affect the milky way in the near future?

The Andromeda galaxy is approaching us, and will be quite near in about 3 billion years. It is not yet known whether it will actually collide with our galaxy, or move sideways - the sideways part of the velocity is harder to figure out than the component of movement towards us, or away from us.The Andromeda galaxy is approaching us, and will be quite near in about 3 billion years.

How far from earth is the farthest star on the Andromeda galaxy?

Just about as far as the closest star in the Andromeda Galaxy. The diameter of the Andromeda galaxy is ... well, quite huge, but still relatively small, compared to the distance between us and the Andromeda Galaxy. And I believe this diameter may still be smaller than the uncertainty in the distance estimate!

Traveling at the speed of light how long does it take to travel from earth?

That depends a lot on where you want to travel. Here are some samples:To the Sun: 8 minutes.To Toliman (the nearest star system outside our Solar System): 4.3 years.To the Andromeda Galaxy (a "near-by" galaxy, part of our Local Group): the current estimate is 2.5 million years.That depends a lot on where you want to travel.

What type of star cluster would be in the Andromeda galaxy?

It's impossible to be precise, but I would guess all of them. The galaxy is so large.


Why is the sun an unusual star?

To the best of my knowledge, it isn't. It is a regular star in a regular galaxy which will regalarly collide with Andromeda in a billion years.
