Where is planet earth in the milky way galaxy?
our galaxy contains between 200- to 400-billion stars arranged in a giant disc shape. The diameter is 100,000 light years with an average thickness of 10,000 light years. The Earth is located about 28,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way.
What is the different between the Milky Way and Milky Way galaxy?
There isn't one. really. If there is a difference, you could say that the Milky Way is the milky band of light as seen from Earth, whereas the Milky Way Galaxy is the whole galaxy, which includes those bit's we cannot see from Earth. Best to just accept they are one and the same.
