Center or whole? 0 miles if it's the whole galaxy because Earth is IN the Milky Way Galaxy but IDK center.
no, actually there's millions of galaxies that are bigger than the milky way and Andromeda is one of them. the milky way is just a spec compared to the whole universe. Sort of like the Earth compared to the milky way.
When the telescope was made, and when the astronauts could go to space, that was when the Milky Way and the Whole Galaxy theory was proved right.
We believe that the Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy. Follow the link to see Hubble photos of other barred spiral galaxies.
No. We can't take a picture of the whole Milky Way from inside the middle of it. We would need to somehow get a camera outside of the galaxy to take that picture.
There isn't one. really. If there is a difference, you could say that the Milky Way is the milky band of light as seen from Earth, whereas the Milky Way Galaxy is the whole galaxy, which includes those bit's we cannot see from Earth. Best to just accept they are one and the same.
As long as you like.
big enough to hold our whole solar system!
Our solar system is located on what is called the Orion Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. Considering its location, we are closer to the outter rim of the galaxy as a whole.
We can not take a photo of the Milky Way as if we were at some distance from it. However we do know that the Milky Way is a Bard Spiral Galaxy with, we believe, 4 distinct spiral arms. This information enables artists to depict what the Milky Way would look like form a distance but these depictions are not photographs.Some good photographs of how the Milky Way looks from Earth are linked to below.
Our whole solar system, all the planets and everything, are part of the Milky Way galaxy. So, asking how far doesn't really make sense, because Neptune is in the Milky Way.
The Milky Way is about 100,000 light years in diameter; it would take light about 100,000 years to cover the whole distance.
