Is the Sun the smallest star in the Milky Way?
No. The sun is actually in the top 5% of stars in terms of size.
Is your Sun in top 50 smallest stars?
No. The sun is larger than about 95% of stars.
Why is the sun on top?
I'm not sure what you're really asking? On top of what? The sun is a star, so it's not "on top" of anything -- it is out in space surrounded by the planets, in a bunch of other stars called the Milky Way galaxy.
What are some distinguishing features of the milky way?
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.
What star is the brigtest of all-stars the sun or the sirius star?
Neither. The Sun only appears bright because it is close. Sirius is far larger and brighter than our Sun. Our Sun is probably in the top 40% of all stars in the Milky Way, while Sirius is probably in the top 5%. But there are many other stars that are far brighter even that Sirius.

Draw a sketch of the Milky Way galaxy as viewed from the top and from the side?
I'm unable to draw images. However, I can describe the Milky Way galaxy to you! From the top, it appears as a spiral disk with spiral arms spiraling out from the center. From the side, it looks like a flat disk with a bulging central region, surrounded by a halo of stars and dark matter.
Where is the little dipper in the sky?
The little dipper is in our Milky Way Galaxy, actually not all that far from us. It is above the big dipper, so that it appears to be pouring into the big dipper. If you can see the north star, that is the tail (or end of the handle) of the little dipper. The middle stars of the little dipper are somewhat faint, but the two outside stars of the top and bottom of the little dipper pan are about as bright as the north star.

Where is the milky way on the ground in regards to glastonbury zodiac?
The Glastonbury Zodiac is multi-layered. There are the Zodiac effigies themselves which are the shapes of the zodiac creatures formed by the contours of both natural and man made features in the landscape (road, field boundaries, rivers etc...).There is also the planisphere (star chart) layer. To verify the existence of a landscape zodiac, one must be able to place a planisphere (star chart) over top of the Landscape Zodiac in such a way that all of the stars in the planisphere align with correlated features in the landscape. Katherine Maltwood, the women that is credited with discovering the Glastonbury Zodiac goes into great detail about where all of the stars 'fall' in her book A guide to Glastonbury's Temple of the Stars.To my knowledge, Katherine does not speak specifically about the location of the Milky Way but if you know which constellations are located along the Milky Way, you can figure out where the Milky Ways is in the Glastonbury Zodiac.The Milky Way basically starts near the front paw of the Leo effigy, runs north along the top (East) of the Gemini twins, cross the nose and head of the Taurus effigy where it curves east thru the waist and along the back of Sagittarius passing finally thru the tails of both Sagittarius and Scorpio.Katherine's guide plus other information and images of the Glastonbury, Kingston and Victoria Landscape Zodiacs can be viewed at the following link.
Does the Milky Way look the same from any direction?
No, the Milky Way Galaxy should look different from different directions. It should look like a spiral from the front/top and back/bottom. From a side view, it should look like a thick or contracted line. From any other view, it should look like an ellipse.
