The Milky Way was born when countless warm gas clouds come together under the pull of gravity. When the cloud collided, Stars were born. Nine billion years after its birth, the Milky Way settled down. there is a huge black at its centre, it is quite. The Galaxy now consists of billions of stars arranged in a beautiful spiral shape.

When scientists looked up with a powerful telescope they saw white which looked like Milk in a long long line and in its path so they called it THE MILKY WAY!
The name is from a Greek root galaxias meaning 'milky' is referring to Milky Way galaxy. It is called the Milky Way because of the faint white appearance on the night sky. It looks like spilt milk

The scattered light from thousands of stars makes milky way appear milky.
It is not actually. The Greeks thought it was the fountain of milk from the goddess

Hera's breast.

The milky way galaxy gots its name because the milky way looks like a trickle of spilled milk
