Jupiter is a planet, like Earth. Where it actually is in the galexy is in an orbit around the Sun. Where it would appear to us (what direction from Earth) keeps changing as both Jupiter and Earth orbit the Sun; so where it appears relative to the stars will depend on when you are looking.

The Milky Way Galaxy is a member of the?

It's difficult to be certain; we're inside the Milky Way galaxy, and we've never seen it from the outside. For a long time, astronomers believed that the Milky Way was a classical spiral galaxy, but more complete observations indicates that it is actually a barred spiral galaxy.


How many solar systems fit into the Milky Way galaxy?

A "solar system" is what we call a star and everything gravitationally bound to that star. Estimates of the number of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy range from 100 billion to 400 billion, and it's thought that the formation of planets is a rather common occurrence during the formation of stars. So there is definitely enough room for 400 billion solar systems in the galaxy, and it's likely that nearly that many actually exist. And that's just in this one galaxy.

How does the earth sun and moon fit into the whole solar system galaxy and the universe?

The natural satellite called Luna or Moon orbits the Earth, a planet in the Solar (Sol is the name of our star) system.The 8 planets with their moons, and planetesimals and asteroids and comets in the Solar system orbit the Sun.The Sun is just a regular old star out near the edge of our spiral galaxy, the Milky Way. There are billions of other stars and many black holes in the galaxy, too.The Milky Way is part of a local cluster with several much smaller galaxies that seem to be attaching themselves to the Milky Way.The Milky Way is just an average spiral galaxy, one of billions upon billions of different shaped galaxies that all seem to be moving away from each other within our Universe.The Universe is most likely part of a larger multiverse, or multiple universes.
