Why isn't a galaxy's size useful in determining it's distance from earth?
The only thing that can be directly observed is a galaxy's apparent size (angular size). Since galaxies come in different sizes, this can only give a rough idea of the galaxy's distance from Earth.
Where is the object that the earth moves around located?
Center of the Solar SystemThe object that the earth moves around, which is the sun, is located at the center of our galaxy.
How many light years from the milky galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy?
The Andromeda Galaxy is at a distance of about 2.5 million light-years from Earth; or from the Milky Way.
What is closest distance to the earth the sun Andromeda galaxy or Neptune?
the sun is the closest
What is the distance when the moons gravity becomes 0 or earths gravity takes over?
The gravity never goes to exactly zero. Off in the most distant galaxy we can see, the gravitational force of the Moon (or the Earth, or for that matter you) is not zero. It's immeasurably small, but it's not zero. However, there is a point directly between the Earth and the Moon where the gravity of the two exactly balance each other. At less than this distance from the Moon, the net force is towards the Moon; at more than this distance, the net force is towards the Earth. It is located where the mass of the Earth divided by the distance to Earth squared is equal to the mass of the Moon divided by the distance to the Moon squared. The exact distance of this point from the center of the Moon varies since the distance between the Earth and the Moon is not constant, but it's roughly 10% of the center-to-center distance between the Earth and the Moon.
Can you say the distance between milky way galaxy and earth?
Center or whole? 0 miles if it's the whole galaxy because Earth is IN the Milky Way Galaxy but IDK center.
What is the distance from earth to the milky way galaxy?
Zero. Earth is in the Milky Way Galaxy.
How distance in galaxy is used by earth?
The distance of the nearest galaxy nearest to earth is measured by analyzing the light coming from that galaxy. This method is performed by observing the individual object's brightness.
What is the distance in kilometers between the earth and the galaxy?
0 km. The Earth is part of our galaxy.0 km. The Earth is part of our galaxy.0 km. The Earth is part of our galaxy.0 km. The Earth is part of our galaxy.
Why is it that the Earth revolves around the moon?
Ummmm.... No. The Moon orbits the Earth. The Earth orbits the Sun. The Sun orbits the center of the galaxy. Light things in orbit, heavier things in the center of the orbit. Well not exactly, they revolve around their common center of mass. This may or may not be at the exact center as far as distance. The common center of mass of the Moon and the Earth is located inside the earth, but not at the center of the Earth.
Is there a black hole at the center of your galaxy?
Yes, there is a very large black hole at the center of our galaxy. It has a mass of about three million suns and is very far from Earth at a distance of about 24,000 light-years. Huge black holes are thought to occur naturally at the center of most large galaxies and many have already been detected. The black hole which lies at the center of our galaxy is much too far away to be of any danger to Earth.
What is the distance traveled by earth in the universe per hour?
around the sun + sun in galaxy+galaxy in space= speed earth?
What is the relationship between galaxy's distance from earth and the speed?
The farther away the galaxy is from ours the faster it moves from our galaxy.
What is the distance from your solar system to the center of the galaxy?
About 26,000 light years.
What The Earth is located in the Milky Way which is a galaxy.?
The Earth is located in a galaxy called the Milky Way. It is about 26,000 light-years from the center.
What is the average travel distance on earth from black hole?
The nearest black hole to the Earth is about 9.7 light years away!
Why isn't a galaxy size alone useful in determining its distance from earth earth?
The only thing that can be directly observed is a galaxy's apparent size (angular size). Since galaxies come in different sizes, this can only give a rough idea of the galaxy's distance from Earth.
