First of all it is a spiral shape from the top. If you look at it from the side, you see a straight line with a bulge in the middle. The line is made up of gas, stars, and dust. To the left of the bulge is the sun. To the right of the bulge is a dwarf galaxy that has combined with the milky way. Inside of the bulge is lots of red and orange stars. In the very center is a huge black hole.
My galaxy is called the milky way because at night when observers spotted the number of stars in the sky, to them it looked like someone spilt some milk in the sky, therefor milky way.
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.
There no milky way in sky there is only milky way galaxy
The Milky Way galaxy is.... called the Milky Way Galaxy
Recent evidence suggests that the Milky Way Galaxy is a barred spiral galaxy. This type of galaxy features a central bar-like structure with spiral arms extending from it. The Milky Way's structure has been inferred based on observations of its stars and gas distribution.
The galaxy that contains Earth and the rest of the Solar system is the Milky Way galaxy.

Scientists conclude that we are living in a spiral galaxy, specifically the Milky Way, due to its distinct characteristics, such as the presence of prominent spiral arms, which are regions of active star formation and dust. Observations of the galaxy's structure, including its flat disk and central bulge, align with the morphology of spiral galaxies. Additionally, the rotation curves of stars and gas in the Milky Way indicate a disk-like structure typical of spiral galaxies, distinguishing it from elliptical and irregular types. These features collectively support the classification of the Milky Way as a spiral galaxy.
Zero. We are in it
the milky way is just the name of our galaxy, there isn't really a "milky way"
Well, we are in the Milky Way.
