The earth exists on the edge of the Milky Way galaxy.
near the outer edge of our galaxy
The shape of the Milky Way (our galaxy) is the shape of a spiral.
The Earth is 93,000,000 miles from the Sun, on the edge of the Milky Way galaxy, in the Virgo supercluster.
the answer is zero the sun is in the milky way... HELLO....
It wouldn't matter where the Sun was, the Milky Way Galaxy would still have a diameter of around 100,000 light years.
The solar system is the Milky Way galaxy, Earth, and all other planets and galaxies are the solar system.
We (the carbon units who inhabit the Earth) have named our galaxy the "Milky Way". If there's anybody else out there, we have no idea what they call our galaxy, or whether they care.
The distance of the earth to the edge of the Milky way is 1000 light years
The milky way IS NOT a solar system. it contains millions of solar systems. and there is no definite edge to the milky way galaxy. stars simply distance themselves apart from each other until they stop traveling with the milky way galaxy
The Sun (and therefore the Earth and Solar System) are found close to the inner rim of the Galaxy's Orion Arm, in the Local Fluff inside the Local Bubble, and in the Gould Belt, at a distance of ~25,000 light years from the Galactic Center. See link for a pictorial representation
The section of the night sky where you view the milky way galaxy edge on. There are so many stars in this part of the night sky that it look like a path of spilled milk - therefore it is called the milky way., The Milky Way is the galaxy in which the solar system is located. It is a barred spiral galaxy that is part of the local group of galaxies. It is one of billions of galaxies in the observable universe.
