Super clusters do not have defined boundaries, not a defined shape. A ballpark figure would put the diameter at about 100 million light years, but extending to about 250 million light years at the extreme.

Did Shapley used the distribution of globular clusters in the galaxy to determine that the Sun was not at the center of the Milky Way?

Yes, Shapley used the distribution of globular clusters in the galaxy to show that the center of the Milky Way was located much farther away than previously thought. By studying the positions and distances of these clusters, he was able to demonstrate that the Sun was not at the center of the galaxy.


Who was the first astronomer to get a reasonable idea of the size and shape of the galaxy?

The first astronomer to propose a reasonable idea of the size and shape of the galaxy was Harlow Shapley in the early 20th century. He used the variable stars known as Cepheid variables to estimate the size of the Milky Way and its position within it. His work helped establish the notion of the galaxy as a vast, spiral-shaped structure.

The diameter of the planet venus is about 650 km smaller than the diameter of earth If earth's diameter is about 13000 km what is the diameter of Venus?

The diameter of Venus is about 95% of the diameter of the Earth. Venus is 12103.6 kilometers in diameter from any reference. (Its slow spin does not produce a bulge.) Earth has an equatorial diameter of about 12756.2 kilometers and a polar diameter of about 12713.6 kilometers.
