How many miles is it from Earth to the Andromeda Galaxy?

Andromeda galaxy is 1,974,973,990 light years from earth, source N.A.S.A. the second furthest star from Earth is 1,974,973,990 light years away..... ----------------------------- There are 5,878,499,814,186.5 miles traveled in a light year, (thats 5.8+ Trillion miles) the center of Andromeda is approx. 2.5 million light years away. The math is beyond me. If 2 steam engines leave their stations from earth 15 minutes apart when will they end up in Andromeda?????


How far is Andromeda galaxy from the Sun?

About 2.5 million light years from Earth, but since the Earth and Sun are only 8 light minutes apart, there isn't that much of a difference in how far the Andromeda Galaxy is from the Sun or Earth. So the Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.5 million light years from the Sun and Earth.


Which star is furthest away from the sun?

There are loads of stars all throughout our universe in millions of different galaxies. The furthest stars away from us in our own galaxy are going to be around 70,000 light years away, on the other side of our galaxy. But other galaxies containing stars will be millions of light years away. The furthest ones will be on the edge of the universe some 14 billion light years away.

What is the distance from earth to the furthest planet in our galaxy?

Astronomers once believed that planets were probably rare and unusual, and that tere might not be very many planets. However, recent discoveries indicate that planets are far more common; in fact, almost every star that astronomers have closely observed is discovered to have some planets! So it is likely that the "furthest planet in our galaxy" is on the other side of the galaxy from the Earth. The Milky Way galaxy has a radius of about 40,000 light years, and our solar system is about 3/4 of the way out from the center. So the "furthest planet in our galaxy" is probably somewhere near 70,000 light years away.

Can you see other galaxies withe naked eye?

You can see a number of galaxies with the naked eye.Milky Way Galaxy - Our GalaxyLarge Magellanic Cloud - Best viewed in the southern hemisphereSmall Magellanic Cloud - Best viewed in the southern hemisphereAndromeda Galaxy - Appears as a faint smudge.Triangulum GalaxySculptor GalaxyBode's GalaxyCentaurus A - Probably the furthest galaxy at 13.7 million light yearsMessier 83 - Highly unlikely but has been reported to be seen.From 5 onwards, you would need absolutely perfect conditions and no light pollution.
