not at all. solar systems consists of planets orbiting a star, and a galaxy consists of hundreds or even thousands of solar systems and either some or all galaxies have black holes in the center.

No it isnt, the Galaxy is larger than the solar system

in otherwords the solar system is a part of the milkyway galaxy No. The solar system consists of the sun and the planets, asteroids, and comets that orbit it. Our solar system is just one tiny part of the Milky Way Galaxy and our sun is just one of the billions of stars it contains. Many of the other stars have their own solar systems.

No. Galaxies like our Milky Way can contain many billions of individual stars. Some of these stars (we don't know how many) have orbiting planets and some do not. Our sun is one of the billions of stars in the Milky Way galaxy. Our sun, along with us, all the planets and everything else that is orbiting around it, make up one solar system.

No, a solar system is smaller and it is inside a galaxy. Even though solar systems are HUMONGOUS....a galaxy is even bigger. A galaxy has tons and tons of solar systems inside of it.
