What is the distance between each star?

I think what you are asking for is the average distance between any two stars in our galaxy. That number turns out to be about 5 light years, which is very close to the 4 light year distance between our Sun and Alpha Centauri.

What is the average distance between stars in our galaxy?

0.013 light-year
This works out to an average of only 0.013 light-year, or 860 astronomical units (1 AU is the average Earth-Sun distance), between stars. Most galaxies, such as M31 in Andromeda, M33 in Triangulum, and the Milky Way have central densities close to this value — an average separation of 0.013 light-year.

What is the minimum distance between two stars?

The two stars in Alpha Centauri are typically somewhere between 1 billion miles and three billion miles apart. That’s enough space to fit at least half our solar system between the two stars. At their narrowest, the two stars are separated by the distance between the Sun and Saturn.

How far away is our closest galaxy?

Distance Information The closest known galaxy to us is the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy, at 236,000,000,000,000,000 km (25,000 light years) from the Sun. The Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy is the next closest , at 662,000,000,000,000,000 km (70,000 light years) from the Sun.

What is the shortest distance between two stars?

The shortest distance between two stars exists when two stars are in a binary pair. The star system HM Cancri records the shortest distance between two stars. A staggering 80,000 kilometres away from each other only. The stars orbit each other at the rate of 400km/s. The orbital period is 321.5 seconds.

Is this the smallest star in our galaxy?

A team of international astronomers has found the smallest star known in our galaxy. The newly discovered tiny star, in orange, is slightly larger than Saturn, shown with its rings, and smaller than Jupiter (left). On the right, somewhat larger, is the TRAPPIST-1 star. (Cambridge University)

What is the closest galaxy to the Sun in light years?

Distance Information The closest known galaxy to us is the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy, at 236,000,000,000,000,000 km (25,000 light years) from the Sun. The Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy is the next closest, at 662,000,000,000,000,000 km (70,000 light years) from the Sun.

What is the distance from the sun to a dwarf galaxy?

Distance Information. The closest known galaxy to us is the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy, at 236,000,000,000,000,000 km (25,000 light years) from the Sun. The Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy is the next closest , at 662,000,000,000,000,000 km (70,000 light years) from the Sun.
