We (and the sun) are on a far arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. If you look up in the sky on some clear nights, you can see an almost greenish cloud-like mass. That's the rest of the Milky Way Galaxy. Since we're out on a limb, we can see the rest of it. If that doesn't make sense, think of it this way- If you are at the top on the far west side of a football stadium, then you can see the whole stadium, top and bottom, in a pretty much unobstructed view. That's about where we are in the galaxy. Of course, we are constantly spinning and moving, but we'll be in the same relative place for quite a while.
