Milky Way galaxy range from 100,000 light years up to 120,000 light years.
Mass similar to our own Milky Way; about a trillion stars; diameter estimated at 140,000 light-years.Mass similar to our own Milky Way; about a trillion stars; diameter estimated at 140,000 light-years.Mass similar to our own Milky Way; about a trillion stars; diameter estimated at 140,000 light-years.Mass similar to our own Milky Way; about a trillion stars; diameter estimated at 140,000 light-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 milky way is a galaxy, there are billions of stars in the milky way galaxy
No, the Sun is not the only star in the Milky Way galaxy. There are estimated to be over 200 billion stars in our galaxy, of varying sizes and ages. The Sun is just one of the many stars that make up the Milky Way.
A typical galaxy may have anywhere between a few million (106) stars, and over a trillion (1012) stars. Our own Milky Way is estimated to have between 200 and 400 billion (2x1011-4x1011) stars.

No. The Milky Way is estimated to be nearly as old as the Universe itself.

Well if the sun were the size of a grapefruit we would not have anything in this solar system to compare it to, so lets make the sun the size of a grain of sand (2mm), the milky way would then be the size of our Sun, which is just over 109 the size of earth... however we are basing this off width, being that the Milky Way is disk shaped.
Yes. There have been hundreds of planets discovered in other stars in the Milky Way. It has been estimated that the Milky Way likely contains hundreds of billions of planets.
the milky way is a galaxy, there are billions of stars in the milky way galaxy
Scientist say there MIGHT be billions of solar systems in the Milky Way but I believe we are the only one!
No, the solar system is not in the Milky Way. The Milky Way is a galaxy, and is home to an estimated 200 to 400 billion stars, and just one of them (our sun) is the center of our solar system.
The Milky Way contains an estimated 100 billion to 400 billion stars and a similar number of planets as well as a variety of gas clouds.
The apparent magnitude of an object is a measure of it's brightness as seen from Earth.As we are located within the Milky Way, this value is impossible to obtain.The Milky Way has a estimated absolute magnitude of -20.9
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. The Milky Way is one galaxy of an estimated 200 billion in the known universe.
