Milky Way is 258,000ly in diameter, according to new observations. And is 1.5trln solar masses. highest mass they got is 2.3trln. but we now say its probably around 1.5trln.
Well if the sun were the size of a grapefruit we would not have anything in this solar system to compare it to, so lets make the sun the size of a grain of sand (2mm), the milky way would then be the size of our Sun, which is just over 109 the size of earth... however we are basing this off width, being that the Milky Way is disk shaped.
The milky way contains about a dozen black holes in the milky way.
No, they just named the galaxy the milky way because it's like....... well, a milky way.
Lots of people own little bits of the Milky Way galaxy. The Earth and everything on it is part of the Milky Way so if you own anything at all you too own a bit of the Milky Way. People themselves are also part of the Milky Way so in a way bits of the Milky Way own parts of the Milky Way.
Not "galaxies", just one galaxy. Our galaxy is called the Milky Way.
They are pretty similiar mass, Milky Way maybe has more mass, but the Milky Way indeed beats it in size. Milky Way is 258,000ly in diameter. Andromeda is 220,000 ly, Andromeda and the Milky Way are like twins.
The middle of the milky way is a black hole and a black hole cannot be made up as matter. The middle of the milky way has no size, but the black hole sucks the light making it look big in pictures. The actual size is nothing.
Increasing size---------------> Moon, Jupiter, Sun, The milky way galaxy correct me if i am wrong xx
It is unknown for sure but by the way it looks, the Andromeda galaxy is the largest. The Ansromeda galaxy is the closest galaxy to the Milky Way and is about three times the size of the Milky Way.
The Milky Way has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years. (If you want to convert that to meters, you can multiply it with 1016 - that is close enough in this case.)
Milky Way galaxy range from 100,000 light years up to 120,000 light years.
No. Although the Milky Way is a relatively large galaxy it is nowhere near the largest known. Galaxies dozens of times the size and hundreds of times the mass of the Milky Way have been observed.
The milky way is about 100,000 light years in diameter, and the Solar System is 25,000 light years away from the galactic center.
In a normal 58 gram Milky Way bar there are 262 calories and 35 grams of sugar.
When compared to the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy,the diameter of our solar system is very nearly zero.
Well if the sun were the size of a grapefruit we would not have anything in this solar system to compare it to, so lets make the sun the size of a grain of sand (2mm), the milky way would then be the size of our Sun, which is just over 109 the size of earth... however we are basing this off width, being that the Milky Way is disk shaped.
We cannot see the center of the Milky Way galaxy, because it is hidden by clouds of interstellar gas. However, there is reason to believe that there are no stars at the center of the Milky Way, but only a supermassive black hole.
