The Milky Way galaxy is approximately 100,000 light-years in diameter. Its edge, or the outer limits of its disk, is around 50,000 light-years from the center. However, the galaxy also extends into a halo of dark matter and stars that can stretch much farther, making the total extent more complex to define. Thus, depending on the context, the distance to the "edge" can vary significantly.
The edge of the Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 100,000 light-years away from Earth. Since one light-year is about 9.46 trillion meters, this translates to roughly 946 trillion kilometers, or about 946,000,000,000,000 meters. Therefore, the distance from Earth to the edge of the Milky Way is around 100,000 light-years, equivalent to about 946 trillion meters.
It is estimated that the Milky Way is about 100,000 light years wide. In other words, it takes light about 100,000 earth years to travel from one edge right across to the far edge.
The Milky Way galaxy is about 100,000 light-years in diameter. Since light travels at a speed of approximately 299,792 kilometers per second, it would take a ray of light about 100,000 years to travel from the sun to the edge of the Milky Way.
The Milky Way probably has billions of planets; only about a thousand are known so far.
We (the carbon units who inhabit the Earth) have named our galaxy the "Milky Way". If there's anybody else out there, we have no idea what they call our galaxy, or whether they care.
Ummmmm the sun is not near the Edge of the milky way.The milky way is just the milky way.The milky way is spiral anyways? not being mean
The Sun is about 27,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way, roughly 2/3rds the way out from the center to the edge of the galactic disk.
Estimates are that the Milky Way is about 100,000 light years across. Light, as observed from earth, takes about 100,000 earth years to travel across. A bit far for a daily commute, isn't it?
The distance of the earth to the edge of the Milky way is 1000 light years
We are INSIDE the Milky Way.
We are in the milky way galaxy.
The edge of the Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 100,000 light-years away from Earth. Since one light-year is about 9.46 trillion meters, this translates to roughly 946 trillion kilometers, or about 946,000,000,000,000 meters. Therefore, the distance from Earth to the edge of the Milky Way is around 100,000 light-years, equivalent to about 946 trillion meters.
toward the edge
Zero. We are in it
near the outer edge of our galaxy
The milky way IS NOT a solar system. it contains millions of solar systems. and there is no definite edge to the milky way galaxy. stars simply distance themselves apart from each other until they stop traveling with the milky way galaxy
Sirius is within the Milky Way.
