What else can I help you with?
If the Sun and Earth were at the edge of the disk of the Milky Way Galaxy what would be the diameter of the galaxy in light years?
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.
If civilization lived on a planet in an E0 galaxy do you think they would have a Milky Way in the sky?
It's doubtful if a civilization could still exist within an elliptical galaxy due to the age of the stars. If they could, then the sky would have a slight red tinge, nothing like the Milky Way.
What is a very large group of stars and planets that includes sun and solar system?
That would be a galaxy. Our solar system is part of the Milky Way galaxy, which contains billions of stars, planets, and other celestial objects.
What happens if you go close to a milky way?
If you were to get close to the Milky Way galaxy, you would continue to see more stars and gas clouds as you approach it. Ultimately, you would not be in any danger as the Milky Way is a collection of stars, gas, and dust held together by gravity.
What is the distance across the milky way galaxy in astronomical units?
The Milky Way galaxy is approximately 100,000 light-years in diameter. One light-year is equivalent to about 63,240 astronomical units (AU), so the distance across the Milky Way galaxy would be around 6.32 million AU.
Is the sun at the edge of the Milky Way?
Our sun is about 25,000 light years from the centre of the milky way.. It's about half way out from the centre of our galaxy.. So our galaxy from end to end would be 100,000 light years across..
How long would it take to get to the milky way galaxy?
Not long at all - as you/we are already in it. About 25,000 light years from the centre.
What galaxy is your sun in?
That would be the Milky Way Galaxy.
How would you classify the Milky Way galaxy?
A spiral galaxy
Which is the nearest galaxy to your milky way galaxy?
I believe that would be M31.
How many days would it take to get to the milky way?
We are in the Milky Way galaxy.
How would you describe the Milky Way galaxy and our place in it?
its a spiral galaxy and the earth is so far the only planet in the milky way where we know we can live
How many miles an hour is earth traveling through the universe?
The question cannot be answered because you need a fixed reference point against which to measure the speed (or velocity) of the earth through the universe. What would this be? The sun (or centre of the solar system)? But that travels round the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy. The centre of Milky Way? But that travels around the centre of our local cluster. The centre of our local cluster? No, because that travels round ... and so on.
If the Sun and Earth were at the edge of the disk of the Milky Way Galaxy what would be the diameter of the galaxy in light years?
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.
What is the Kannada word for 'Milky Way galaxy'?

What would happen if the Milky Way was bigger?
Absolutely nothing - in cosmic terms. The Milky Way is a dynamic entity. It changes size and shape very slowly - compared to us mere mortals. It's takes us about 230 million years to go around the galactic centre just once. So things do change, but very slowly. In about 5 billion years our Galaxy WILL get bigger when the Andromeda Galaxy "merges" with the Milky Way Galaxy.
Which is the nearest spiral galaxy to your Milky Way?
I believe that would be M31.
