If you were located in the Andromeda galaxy, our Milky Way galaxy would appear to you
as a large, dim, fuzzy patch of haze in the sky. When you looked at it through binoculars
it would look larger and less dim. Through a large telescope, you'd see that it's a far-off
collection of hundreds of billions of stars, but you wouldn't be able to pick out any individual
stars. The sun would be one of those hundreds of billions of stars. You couldn't see it
separately from the others, any you'd have no way at all to detect planets orbiting any
of the stars in that far-off galaxy.

What size of telescope do you need to see the Andromeda galaxy?
small one would do
How long would it take to count all stars in Andromeda galaxy?
Since it is not possible to SEE the stars in Andromeda, it would take forever. Of course, if you can wait 3 billion years until Andromeda collides with the Milky Way, it will be a little easier.
Can you see Andromeda galaxy from earth?
YES - if the sky isn't too bright from light pollution AND you live in the Northern Hemisphere
What is the best time to see the Andromeda galaxy?
* '''November is the best time to see the Andromeda Galaxy as it is darker in the night. Also when the moon is lit.'''
How far away is earth from the Andromeda galaxy in kilometers in scientific notation?
The Great Galaxy in Andromeda (also known as the Andromeda Galaxy or M31) is about 2.5 million light years from Earth. When we look at this galaxy today, we see light that has been traveling through space for 2.5 million years; i.e. when we look at the Andromeda Galaxy, we are seeing it as it was about 2.5 million years ago! Think about this, we are looking back in time.1 light year is the distance that light travels in 1 year. Speed of light is 300,000 kilometers/second, find the distance that light travels from the Andromeda Galaxy to Earth in kilometers and express it in scientific notation.

Because earth is amazing with many different sites to see :)

'When a full moon occurs if there were people on the moon would they see a 'full' Earth'?
Not necessarily. Think about it... if you can see a full moon in the middle of the night, then someone on the moon would be able to see your part of the earth.... which would be in darkness.
Does cetus border Andromeda?
Cetus is not bordered by Andromeda - Pisces is "in the way". See related link for a pictorial
Which constellation does not border andromeda?

Can you see planets in the Andromeda galaxy?
No. The the farthest planet visible to the naked eye is Saturn, which is about 11 astronomical units away from Earth at its farthest. The distance to the Andromeda galaxy is about 2.5 million light years, about 14 billion times farther away.
