Our Sun and the planet Earth (Along with all the other planets and other stellar stuff) comprise the Solar System. Our Solar System is part of the Milky Way Galaxy.

False, there are billions of galaxies like the Andromeda galaxy ,Bode's galaxy, whirlpool galaxy, pinwheel galaxy, and more.
No, there are a lot of galaxies. Crazy many in fact. The andromeday galaxy is a rather famous one, it is 2.2 million lightyears away.
possibly billions
Our galaxy is named the Milky Way, for the band of light stretching across the sky through the constellation of Sagittarius which they ancient Greeks thought resembled milk spilled along a path. Light pollution renders this beautiful effect invisible in most urban areas. On moonless nights in the country or out on the ocean it is extraordinary.

There is no such privileged point in the Universe. You might say it is; but then, ANY other point is also the center of the Universe. Or it looks that way.
The Milky Way Galaxy is the second largest galaxy, after Andromeda, in the Local Group. The Triangulum Galaxy (a.k.a., the Star Wars galaxy) is the third largest. The Local Group contains about 30 galaxies, including dwarf galaxies.
It it a collection of planets and other object orbiting around one of 100 to 400 billion stars in the Milky Way Galaxy, which is one of at least 2 trillion galaxies in the visible universe. Pretty insignificant, yes?
Our galaxy is commonly referred to as the "Milky Way" galaxy.
No it does not. It is my basic understanding of this theory that the 'true center' of the universe would be mostly devoid of material.
Yes it's true and it is the nearest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way.
Yes.

No. Of course not. The universe is big enough to hold earth and all the other planets in the Milky Way Galaxy and all other galaxies and the sun and the moon and the stars. There is no way that the universe could be smaller that Earth. =)
If this was a true/false question, the answer is "False". The Milky Way alone contains over 200 billion stars and the Andromeda Galaxy has up to 1 trillion.
This would be the list in general, although there are probably moons somewhere in the universe that are larger than the earth. Earth's moon; the earth; the sun; the solar system; the galaxy; the universe.
It is false.

False. E.g. f=ma; f=qvB; f=qE
