How long is the Milky Way? Give your answer in standard form.
If we approximate the Milky Way to be a disc shape, calculate it's area in standard form. Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1 year=365 days
1 day=24 hours
1 hour=60 minutes
1 minute=60 s
So,
1 year=
So, =x
.

.
So the distance would be the diameter of the disc,
