Imagine your are stood in a crowd of people it's difficult to work out the exact shape of the crowd however if you were in a helicopter looking down on it you could.
Astronomers can see the spiral arms of the Andromeda galaxy more clearly than those of the Milky Way because Andromeda is tilted face-on to our line of sight, providing a clearer view of its structure. In contrast, we are positioned within the Milky Way galaxy, making it more challenging to observe its spiral arms due to our vantage point within the galaxy.
