The Andromeda galaxy is moving towards us (The Milky Way Galaxy) at about 432,000 kph. It's expected to start merging in around 3 -> 4 billion years time.

Are any of the galaxies moving toward earth?

Yes. Andromeida galaxy.


Are any galaxies moving toward the Milky Way galaxy?

Yes. The Andromeda Galaxy, our galactic neighbor, is heading toward the Milky Way and is expected to collide with our own galaxy in about 3 billion years.


What if no distant galaxies showed any redshift or blueshift?

It would mean that the universe was radially static. That is, no galaxy was moving towards or away from the earth. This could happen if everything in the whole universe were moving in the same direction at the same [linear or rotational] velocity.


Is there any other galaxy exists really?

There are very many galaxies. There are almost as many galaxies visible from Earth as there are stars in our Galaxy, perhaps 200 billion.


Is it possible that there is another galaxy but we just can reach it because it is very far away?

Yes. There are actually millions of other galaxies apart from our own Milky Way, and they lie at vast distances from us. Andromeda, our nearest galactic neighbor, is actually moving toward us, but is a long, long ways away. Most other galaxies are moving away from us, and they are removed from here by, um, astronomical distances. It is fair to say that other galaxies are so far away that we simply can't get there from here using current technology, and in any "real" time frame.


Is the earth and the sun part of any galaxies?

Yes. Our solar system is part of the Milky Way galaxy.

Its moving. Quickly. It is in orbit around the earth, the same as any satellite.


Are any Galaxies moving away at half the speed of light or faster?

Yes. The farthest known galaxies move away from us faster than the speed of light. While this is not possible for nearby objects, in this case space itself is expanding.


Are all 100000000000 galaxies in our universe be any size and shape?

What does Moving relative to Earth mean?

Moving relative to Earth means that an object is changing its position in relation to Earth's surface. This movement can be in any direction and at various speeds, depending on the reference frame of Earth's rotation and revolution.
