they are both galaxies...andromeda being the larger of the two by almost double in size
The Andromeda is a spiral galaxy with almost twice as many stars as there are in the Milky Way. Difficult to be certain, since we're INSIDE the Milky Way and cannot see all of it, and we can't be sure exactly how far away Andromeda is. However, we believe that Andromeda and the Milky Way are probably fairly similar, with Andromeda being slightly larger.
The Milky Way galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy are approximately 2.5 million light-years apart. This makes Andromeda the closest spiral galaxy to our own Milky Way. Both galaxies are part of the Local Group of galaxies.
The Milky Way is our home galaxy while the Andromeda galaxy is the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way. They both contain billions of stars, but the Andromeda galaxy is slightly larger in size compared to the Milky Way. Additionally, they are on a collision course and are expected to merge in about 4 billion years.
It's difficult to define a galaxies size, as there is no real cut off point. From estimations, the Andromeda is about twice as large as the Milky Way.
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 galaxy is the Milky way. Andromeda is the nearest galaxy to our milky way.
They are pretty similiar mass, Milky Way maybe has more mass, but the Milky Way indeed beats it in size. Milky Way is 258,000ly in diameter. Andromeda is 220,000 ly, Andromeda and the Milky Way are like twins.
Yes. All constellations are in the Milky Way. Note that the Andromeda constellation is not to be confused with the Andromeda Galaxy.
no. Andromeda is our nearest milky way's neighbor galaxy. so Andromeda is not locate in the milky way. the distance between these 2 galaxies are roughly 2.5 millions light years.
it is predicted that Andromeda and the Milky Way will collide within the next 5 billion years.
Both the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxies are flat spirals in shape.
Andromeda
Both the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxies are flat spirals in shape.
No - you are already IN the Milky Way Galaxy
All stars and constellations that we can see are in the Milky Way galaxy.

The Milky Way is the galaxy in which our solar system is located; you are inside the Milky Way; it's all around you. The Andromeda galaxy is the nearest galaxy to the Milky Way. The Milky Way is closer to us because we live inside of it.
