Well, I am not exactly sure what you mean but the Sun is located 26,000 light-years from the galaxy's center in one of the spiral arms. In the galaxy, all stars orbit around a central region or core. It takes about 225 million years for the sun to orbit the center of the Milky Way. That's as much infotmation as I can give to you. Hope that helped and your question is somewhat answered. :D

This depends of course on your definition of "star"
Wiki User

Where would you find the brightest part of a galaxy?
Most of the times, the brightest part of the galaxy is at the ceentre due the higher density of stars .Also if the galaxy is a spiral then the brightest part of the galaxy are the spiral arms because they are the star formation areas in the galaxy
Is a quasar is a galaxy shaped like a flattened ball?
It could be, but the definition quasi-star depends on the radiation output, NOT the shape.
A system of stars held together by gravity?
A sun or a star is a glowing ball of gas held together by gravity. A sun holds together a solar system of planets, so that may be the answer you are looking for.
What is Earth's closest neighbor in space?
moonThe Moon (moon), then Venus (planet), Ceres (dwarf planet) Proximus Centauri (Star), Andromeda (galaxy)
What two things form a star?
One could say talent and a lot of practice. :-) The real answer begins with a force that triggers the process. From Wikipedia: "The formation of a star begins with a gravitational instability inside a molecular cloud, often triggered by shock waves from supernovae (massive stellar explosions) or the collision of two galaxies (as in a starburst galaxy). Once a region reaches a sufficient density of matter to satisfy the criteria for Jeans Instability it begins to collapse under its own gravitational force." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star The second thing is the accumulation of sufficient mass to form a star. Estimates vary on the minimum mass, but it's at least 75 times the mass of Jupiter. With that criterion met, gravitational collapse results in heat through compression of the gases. When the heat is sufficient to initiate nuclear fusion, a star is born.
How often is a new star born?
Is is aproximatly 1 per year somewhere in the galaxy.

Which is smallest galaxy or star?
A star - especially as a galaxy is formed of billions of stars.
How is alpha pegasi or markab related to galaxies?
That's a star. A galaxy is much larger than a star; a typical galaxy contains several hundred billion stars.That's a star.

Is a Lyman-break galaxy a star-forming galaxy at a high redshift?
Yes, a Lyman-break galaxy is a star forming galaxy at a high redshift.
Is earth a star to a other galaxy?
a) Earth is not a star, but a planet. b) Earth is not part of "another galaxy", but of our own galaxy.
