Is there any galaxy that is bigger than Andromeda galaxy?

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.


How is the size and mass of the moon different from the earth's size and mass?

Earth's diameter about 7925 miles. Moon's diameter about 2160 miles. The diameter of the Moon is 3,474 km and the diameter of the Earth is 12,742 km. This makes the Moon approximately 27% the size of the Earth. The mass of the Moon is 7.347 x 1022 kg and the mass of the Earth is 5.97x 1024 kg. The mass of the Moon is only 1.2% of the mass of the Earth.


What is the mass of the Andromeda galaxy?

The Andromeda galaxy is estimated to have a mass of about 1.5 trillion times the mass of our Sun. It is one of the most massive galaxies in our local group of galaxies, which also includes the Milky Way.


Which planet is most like earth in size and mass?

Venus is closest to the Earths size and mass - often referred to as Earths sister or twin planet. Venus' Mass is around 82% of Earths, while its diameter is a little smaller than Earths at around 95% of Earths diameter.

WHAT OBJECT WITH THE GREATEST MASS?

The object with the greatest mass is probably a supermassive black hole located in the center of a galaxy, such as the one in the Milky Way galaxy. These black holes are believed to have masses equivalent to millions or even billions of times the mass of our sun.


What is the diameter of the black hole of galaxy Andromeda?

In Jan 1987, John Cormedy of Dominion Astrophysical Observatory in Canada discovers the balck hole in Galaxy Andromeda and estimated that the diameter of black hole in Andromeda Galaxy is 10 million times as massive as the Sun.


Which stellar properties has the greatest range in values?

The mass of stars has the greatest range in values, ranging from less than 0.08 times the mass of the Sun for brown dwarfs to tens of times the mass of the Sun for supermassive stars. This variation in mass influences many other stellar properties, such as size, luminosity, and lifespan.


What two observations allow us to calculate the Galaxy's mass?

By observing the rotation, and calculating the diameter. If you know the diameter of the galaxy, a certain rotation speed implies a certain mass (to be stable at that speed). It turns out there is 5-10 times more mass than the known masses. Read about "dark mass" for more details.By observing the rotation, and calculating the diameter.

How big is the stars in your galaxy?

Our galaxy, the milky way, has stars much bigger than our sun. Our sun is considered one solar mass in it's size. The Milky Way has star that range from 1/2 a solar mass to 50 or 100 solar masses.


Does the supermassive blackhole at the center of your galaxy contain most of the mass of the galaxy?

No. The super massive black hole at the center of the galaxy has about 4 million times the mass of the sun while the galaxy as a whole has at leas 1 trillion solar masses. In other words the black hole at the center of the galaxy accounts for about one twenty-fifth of one percent of the galaxy's mass.
