- The angle between two lines drawn from a point on Earth to two opposite sides of the Moon make an angle of 0.5 degrees. If you do the same thing for the two opposite ends of Andromeda (as shown above), you find an angle of 5 degrees. Let's assume Andromeda and the Moon are equally far away from our location on Earth (of course that's wrong, but how are we supposed to know?) - then how much larger would the diameter of Andromeda be (as indicated by the arrows at the top), compared to the diameter of the Moon?
