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.
The ONLY galaxy in the "local milky way" is the Milky Way itself. If you're asking what the largest galaxy in the local group is, the Andromeda Galaxy is the largest by size but the Milky Way may be slightly larger by mass. It's definitely one of those two by any reasonable criterion, though.
No scale was specified. However, if the Earth was one inch, the Andromeda Galaxy would be 29,300,000,000 miles away.
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.
Yes.The only ones I know is IC 1101 and Messier 87.The Andromeda galaxy is twice the size of our Milky Way.The Andromeda is 260,000 light years across,while the Milky Way is 100,000 light years across.A light year is 5,878,499,812,499 miles.
Increasing size---------------> Moon, Jupiter, Sun, The milky way galaxy correct me if i am wrong xx
It is unknown for sure but by the way it looks, the Andromeda galaxy is the largest. The Ansromeda galaxy is the closest galaxy to the Milky Way and is about three times the size of the Milky Way.
The nearest large galaxy to the Milky Way is the Andromeda Galaxy. It is of similar size and is visible in dark skies.
No. Although the Milky Way is a relatively large galaxy it is nowhere near the largest known. Galaxies dozens of times the size and hundreds of times the mass of the Milky Way have been observed.

When compared to the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy,the diameter of our solar system is very nearly zero.

Venus is closest to earths planet size.
No scale was specified. However, if the Earth was one inch, the Andromeda Galaxy would be 29,300,000,000 miles away.
Messier 83 (M83) is about 55,500 light years across. About half the size of the Milky Way Galaxy.
We cannot see the center of the Milky Way galaxy, because it is hidden by clouds of interstellar gas. However, there is reason to believe that there are no stars at the center of the Milky Way, but only a supermassive black hole.
