The Milky Way galaxy is significantly bigger than our solar system. Using the Oort Cloud as a marker to signify the outer edges, our solar system has a diameter of about 3.2 light years (or 200,000 AU). In comparison, the Milky Way galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years across, which makes it 31,250 times bigger than our solar system.
The solar system is in the Milky Way, the Milky Way is composed of about 150 Billion to 200 billion star sytems.
The solar system is a very small part of the Milky way Galaxy.
The solar system includes only our sun and the bits that orbit it, planets (and their moons), dwarf planets and asteroids. Comets orbit the sun, but they are really visitors which may get drawn into other solar systems.
Galaxies contain billions of solar systems.
Considering that Jupiter is in the Milky Way Galaxy, the Milky Way is much bigger. Jupiter has a diameter of about 43,000 miles. By contrast, the Milky Way is at least 100,000 light years or 5,900,000,000,000,000,000 miles across.
Yes I believe it is.
There are estimated to be possibly maybe 400 billion stars in the Milky Way.
One of them is the sun.
The earth's distance from the sun is about 0.0000036percent of the distance to the next nearest star, out of the 400 billion of them.
So I do feel that the Milky Way is somewhat bigger than our solar system.
Yes, the solar system is within the galaxy.
No it is not.
galaxies are made up of many many stars, which is what a solar system is (along with the planets and other stuff)
Hope this helps!
Yes. A solar system is microscopic compared to a galaxy. A galaxy may contain millions if not billions of solar systems.
Yes, many times bigger. The solar system consists of our sun and the objects that orbit it. The sun is just one star out of an estimated 200 billion in our galaxy.
Our solar system is located in the thin disk of the Milky Way.
Pluto is a part of our solar system, and our solar system is a part of the Milky Way Galaxy. Thus: Pluto is a part of the Milky Way.
The Solar System contains the Earth-Moon system. The Milky Way galaxy contains the Solar System. The Virgo supercluster contains the Milky Way galaxy. The Universe contains the Virgo supercluster.

Yes. The entire solar system is in the Milky Way.
No. The Milky Way is much, much bigger than our Solar System - and it contains billions of solar systems.
No. Our solar system is in the Milky Way Galaxy and it is just one of billions of other systems in it.
The Milky Way is not in our solar system. Our solar system is in the Milky Way. There are no galaxies in our solar system.
Considering the Solar System is part of the Milky Way Galaxy, that might give you a clue. The Solar System is about 4 light years in diameter, depending on how you measure it. The Milky Way is 100,000 light years in diameter.
The universe, then our spiral galaxy(The Milky Way).
Our Solar System is part of the Milky Way Galaxy
Yes, our solar system is located in the milky way.
No. The Milky Way is the galaxy of which our solar system is a tiny part.
It is not any distance from it. Our solar system is in the Milky Way.
Yes, my solar system is known as the Milky Way.
Solar system is in Milky Way galaxy. It is located at the centre of Milky Way.
No, the Milky Way is not in the solar system. It's actually the other way 'round; our solar system revolves around one star of the estimated 200 to 400 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
