Our spiral galaxy of The Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 80,000 to 120,000 light-years across, and less than 7,000 light-years thick.
We are in the Milky Way Galaxy at the end of one of the arms.
Our sun is about 25,000 light years from the centre of the milky way.. It's about half way out from the centre of our galaxy.. So our galaxy from end to end would be 100,000 light years across..
If the milky way galaxy is 100,000 light years across and if the universe is 13 billion years old, you would have 130,000 milky way galaxies, end on end to the edge of the universe.
Our solar system is not far from the end of one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way. Our sun is about 26 or 27 thousand light years from the galactic center, and the galaxy is about 70 to 100 thousand light years across. See link for more information.See link for pictorial representation.
IT takes over 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, to make the galaxy to end.

This would be equivalent to you asking, in the middle of the shallow end of the pool, how far away you were from the water. Our solar system is part of the Milky Way galaxy; it is all around us.
The milky way is where there is a lot of stars at each end of the galaxy And a star is a matter mostly of gas pressured together

we live in a barred spiral galaxy on the end of a spiral arm called the milky way.It's name comes from the ancient idea that the wavy line of stars of our spiral arm looked like spilt milk. 'Lactic'
Yes it is - in the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm.
Of those that we see in the Milky way, the vast majority are. The Milky Way is about 100,000 light years acorss, meaning light would take 100,000 years to go from one end to another. For most stars, this is a very short period of time.
