No. A galaxy requires more than one star in the first place and all currently known binary or multiple star systems are larger than our solar system, and galaxies are typically hundreds of millions times larger than any star system.

We don't really know. So far we have only hints that others even exist. The others

are just too far away to be seen clearly.

==================================

When you consider that in our own solar system, Pluto wasn't even discovered

until about 80 years ago, and we still don't know how far out the 'Oort Cloud'

and the 'Kuiper Belt' extend, you realize how tough it will be to measure the

size of the systems around other stars.

Although we've discovered several hundred 'exo-planets', we know that our

current technology only allows us to detect the larger ones. We won't be able to

judge the size of the complete system that goes along with a star until we know

that we've detected everything in it, and that won't be for several more years yet.

Yes. The sun is part of the solar system, so the solar system is obviously bigger than it.

What is the difference between galaxies and the universe?

A universe is a very big realm of darkness with galaxies in it. and there are billions of galaxies in the universe! One of those galaxies is our solar system, and in that solar system is our planet. There probably is even more then just one univserse. O_o Well... Galaxies are within the universe and a universe is defintly bigger then a galaxy


Why do you need galaxies in the solar system?

That is backwards, galaxies are much larger than solar systems.


Why do you need to learn about the solar system galaxies and the universe?

We need to learn about solar system, galaxies and universe because it will help us in the future....

What galaxy in the solar system do you live?

Galaxies do occur IN Solar systems. Galaxies are much much bigger than solar systems. This means that solar systems are found in Galaxies. The Galaxy we live in is called the "Milky Way Galaxy". The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy 100,000-120,000 light-years in diameter containing 200-400 billion stars. Each star is potentially a solar system like our own. NOTE: we can see that outside the Milky Way there are hundreds of billions of other Galaxies.


Are galaxies part of our solar system?

No. Galaxies are well beyond our solar system. Our solar system is just one tiny part of the Milky Way Galaxy.
