The stellar disk of the Milky Way galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years in diameter, and is believed to be, on average, about 1,000 light years thick. It is estimated to contain at least 200 billion stars and possibly up to 400 billion stars, the exact figure depending on the number of very low mass stars, which is highly uncertain. Extending beyond the stellar disk is a much thicker disk of gas. Recent observations indicate that the gaseous disk of the Milky Way has a thickness of around 12,000 light years ---twice the previously accepted value.
The Sun (and therefore the Earth and Solar System) may be found close to the inner rim of the Galaxy's Orion Arm, in the Local Fluff inside the Local Bubble, and in the Gould Belt, at a distance of ~25,000 light years from the Galactic Center.
So a rough estimate, because there is no real defined outer edge, puts our solar system about 25 thousand light years from the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy.
[See Link] for pictorial impression of our location in the Milky Way.
The galactic center is located at a distance of 7.62±0.32 kpc (~25,000±1,000 light years) from the Earth.
Earth is approximately 25,000 light years from the Galactic Core.
At the moment nobody knows. Our current technology only allows us to detect Jupiter sized planets but that will change in the near future.
0 light-years, as Earth is part of the Milky Way Galaxy.
Zero. The Earth is in the milky way.
The Earth is IN the Milky Way!!!
None, actually; reach down and touch the Earth, and you are touching part of the Milky Way. We are part of the Milky Way.
We (the carbon units who inhabit the Earth) have named our galaxy the "Milky Way". If there's anybody else out there, we have no idea what they call our galaxy, or whether they care.
Sun dosen't revolve around moon. The Sun never revolves around the Moon. The moon revolves around (orbits) the Earth. In turn, the Earth revolves around the Sun. The Sun (and the rest of our solar system) revolves around the Milky Way. It takes approximately 29.5 days for the moon to orbit the Earth, approximately 365 days for the Earth to orbit the Sun and approximately 226 million years for the Sun to orbit the Milky Way.
The Universe. The Milky Way is equivalant of an atom of sand on the beach to the Earth as the Milky Way is to the Universe.Yes. The universe is everything in existence. The Milky Way is but a microscopic part of the universe.
The collision of Andromeda with the Milky Way is not expected for many billions of years, by which time the Earth will have already been destroyed by the expansion of the sun into a red giant.
We are in the Milky Way galaxy.
None, actually; reach down and touch the Earth, and you are touching part of the Milky Way. We are part of the Milky Way.
Zero. We are in it
The galaxy that contains Earth and the rest of the Solar system is the Milky Way galaxy.
It is very easy. Since the Earth is in the Milky Way, you don't even have to move to get to the Milky Way.
No. The earth is inside of the milky way Galaxy.
Zero. Earth is in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Milky Way Galaxy, Sun, Earth
Interestingly, it doesn't matter whether you prefer the answer in kilometers,in miles, or in inches. The exact figure is still zero. Earth is IN the Milky Way.
The Earth is inside the milky way galaxy. It's our own galaxy.
In* Yes, there is life in the Milky Way. As the Milky Way harbours the Earth which is home to many species of life.
The solar system (the planets, the earth and the sun) is a part of the milky way, and rotates with the other stars the milky way consists of. The milky way is therefore not going to collide with the earth.
