Mars is a planet, one of the planets of our solar system. Our solar system is part of the Milky Way galaxy. The Milky Way is currently believed to be a barred spiral galaxy (it's a little hard to be really sure exactly what it looks like, since we're inside it, and a lot of it we can't see because there are huge clouds of dust and gas in the way).

∙ 8y agoMars orbits Sol , our local star (a.k.a the sun) in the Cygnus-Orion arm of the Milky Way Galaxy.
All the planets in our solar system orbit close to our sun. If you covered the solar system out to the orbit of Neptune (radii 30 AU) with a dime, the next closest star to our sun with be 260 feet away (nearly the length of an American style "football" field). Mars would be closer to the dime's center than Eisenhower's ear.
The galaxy's center would be nearly twenty thousand miles away. Think circumnavigating the Earth at the equator, less 5000 miles, on the scale where Neptune's orbit is encompassed by a dime.
For our galaxy's diameter, multiply that by three.
