The two '''Magellanic Clouds''' are dwarf galaxies that orbit the [[Milky Way Galaxy]]. The [[Path Kethona|Large Magellanic Cloud]], about 14,000 LY in diameter, is twice the size of the Small Magellanic Cloud whose size is approximately 7,000 light-years. The Large Magellanic Cloud is situated approximately 160,000 light years away, while the Small Magellanic Cloud is around 200,000 light-years away. In comparison to the Milky Way Galaxy, the Magellanic Clouds are metal-poor and gas-rich, with greater fractions of [[hydrogen]] and [[helium]]. | The two '''Magellanic Clouds''' are dwarf galaxies that orbit the [[Milky Way Galaxy]].
