Difference between Andromeda Galaxy and Galactic halo

Andromeda Galaxy vs. Galactic halo

The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224, is a spiral galaxy approximately 780 kiloparsecs (2.5 million light-years) from Earth, and the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. A galactic halo is an extended, roughly spherical component of a galaxy which extends beyond the main, visible component.
