The Milky Way Galaxy is about 6 trillion times larger than the rings of Saturn.
Forgetting the newly discovered supersized ring, the "normal" rings have a diameter of about 160,000km.
The diameter of the Milky Way is about 100,000 light years or 9.4605284 × 1017 km.
Divide one by the other and the answer is about 6 trillion (5,912,830,250,000)
The Milky Way galaxy is 100,000 light years across and 1,000 light years thick. But the really fun part is that the Milky Way is all around us. We are right inside the Milky Way; it is our home galaxy. The Milky Way is not far away from you. You are a part of it.
We are in the Milky Way Galaxy at the end of one of the arms.
The Milky Way Galaxy
Earth is in the milky way the milky way is a galaxy, a spiral galaxy i think and its called the milky way because it looks like milk when you see it at night yo other people who will probably answer like a second after me -Alex
The Greek word Galaxy is "milk". The name Milky Way Galaxy is derived from the way intra-galaxy dust and clouds appear as they stream across the night sky.
Our galaxy, the Milky Way, has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years.
1 zettameter is 1021 meters The Milky Way galaxy is 100,000 light-years across which is 9.46*1020 meters, which is less than a zettameter.
When compared to the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy,the diameter of our solar system is very nearly zero.
NGC 1132 is estimated to be around 320,000 light-years in diameter, making it larger than our Milky Way galaxy. It is classified as a giant elliptical galaxy located in the constellation Eridanus, approximately 320 million light-years away from Earth.
A larger galaxy can be 10 times brighter than the milky way.The larger galaxies in the universe are the giant elliptical galaxies.These are larger egg-shaped galaxies with trillion of stars.They can have diameter of 6 million light year across.
No. The Milky Way is larger than average, but it is nowhere near the largest.
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 diameter of the Milky Way galaxy is about 100,000 light-years. If the Sun and Earth were at the edge of the disk, we would still be within the galaxy's boundaries, so the diameter would remain around 100,000 light-years.
Diameter of the Milky Way (our galaxy): 100,000 light-years. Diameter of our Solar System: 2 light-years (if you include the Oort Cloud)
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.
The sun is but one of several hundred billion stars within the Milky Way Galaxy. Thus the galaxy is much larger. The Milky Way is so vast that it takes light approximately 100,000 years to travel its diameter, and 1,000 years to travel its thickness. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milky_Way
The Milky Way galaxy is approximately 100,000 light-years in diameter.
